Circus Campout 2015

 Circus Campout this weekend, run by these two charming people, Jules and Fallon (Sweet T's by Claudia Bernal)

 There were workshops like acro-yoga (I taught my 50 Shades workshop there too!)!

 

 There was helping out in the kitchen.

There was volley-club... this photo is of the first (The World) and last place (The Bloody Lips - aptly named) teams.

 This is one of the reasons for the name...

Along with being a pretty wet and rainy weekend, it was the windiest weekend of the year. Tree branches were snapping and falling, leaves flew in floaty circles like birds, structure tie-downs were spontaneously tag-teamed, there was a energetic feeling of wild-ness, power in town was out here and there, and miraculously no one at campout got hurt. Here is a photo of an Anacortes boat (by Thaddeus Hink) that embodies the power of the weather from the weekend.

Circus Campout is one of my favorite festivals!

Circus Campout

Circus Campout was so much fun! I'm so stoked that it happens. Here's Wren playing his favorite game during Cammpout: Vollyclub.

There's at least one show. Here's Bri performing her hat act, which I LOVE!

There are tons of workshops. Here's Chipps rock'n his handstand with a little hand from Harmony.

Sarah Sparrow. Boom.

Wren and I (just in case you didn't recognize us) making campout breakfast.

Chipps!

Wren, "Do I look sexy?" Josh, "Read my shirt".

More handstands!

Here's two different faces, after our 6 hour "Bullet-proof face paint" workshop with Fallon.

Jules and the ever-cute Charlie.

Oh baby butts.

Charlie!

Wren and Lebn juggling together. Aaaw.

I taught my first physical theater workshop at this campout. It was awesome. I had about 20 people. We did the 3 moves partner game.

Wren and I taught our rope workshop, and I also took the handstand, stretching for contortion,

lasso,

and twerkshop workshops. Whew! What a great Campout!

Moustaches are Faux Real!

So as my pseudonym suggests... I've gotta thing for moustaches. One of the things about them that I find so charming is their amazing ability to change ones face. Donning a moustache not only changes your face, but can potentially change your personality and the actions of those around you. They are the perfect portable disguise, and I have had many a good time with the little buggers. Here is a most recent good time.

This is River. He has quite the handsome moustache as you might agree. In this photo he is making a chocolate chip donut... for me! He recently started a curly-fry business... called Kurlys (Kurlyskart.com)!

Yes, he also makes donuts and other yummy deep-fried treats in the mobile cart he made. Ok, so River and I have been in cahoots making his moustaces into Faux-Real moustaches (I just made that up)! We've made a few together... he even gave me one for my birthday... my own personal River-grown stache... who's a luck girl!?! Ok, here's what we do...

First River grows a sweeeet stache... (great job River!)

Then we snip the stache, hot glue it to some mesh fabric,

then tidy it up with a little black color.

 

River cleans up the parts we snipped...

And viola! River has a teeny partial-faux-stache that he can add or subtract from his face! We did this in a jiffy right before the renegade show after Circus Campout so he could surprise people during his act... it was awesome.

So thanks River! And hip-hip hair-ay faux moustaches... they're faux real!
