You! In the audience, at Rue 13 on Saturday Nights (and any other place I happen to be performing:). It's a fabulous show. Singing, dancing, trapeze and silks, belly dancing, acrobatics, comedy, and general sass talking. There is something for everyone at the Alley Cat Revue! And it would make me oh-so-happy to see you there. I'd also like to meet Deutchlanders, foreign language speakers, booking agents, torch singers, circus artists, performance artists, exotic animals, belly dancers, acrobats, fire breathers, romancers, foodies, Burly-Q performers, Sassy sassbacks, people who like to laugh and make me laugh, painters, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, actors of any kind, people who love life, trees, and playing Twister

All brave, creative, and lovely people. I love those people. I just recently met an 80 year old woman who just started training on the lyra so she can perform at her 80th birthday party. When I chatted with her she told me she ran away at 18 to be a show girl and a bareback rider in the circus. Now she teaches prisoners Shakespeare (she still rides. She also told me she took her daughter (who was 12 at the time) to see "Evelyn West and her Tresure Chest". Then she told me I was beautiful and asked if she could see me perform. I am amazed by her:)
