George W. Bush, earlier this week:

” “I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English.”

Although….

It turns out that candidate Bush used to sing the anthem in Spanish himself during campaign appearances in 1999, and, as President, had Jon Secada sing the National Anthem in English and Spanish at his first Inaugural ceremony.

Say it with me now:

“Oops.”

Let’s see if we can get the approval ratings down into the 20s by the time the midterm elections come around, shall we?

Where: The Tea House of Translucent Jade. (AKA, our place. Directions available for those who’ve never been — email me.)

When: This Saturday. Two-ish until whenever.

What: Watching Wuxia films, creating characters for the Dragon Fist adventure playtest, ordering Chinese food for dinner, etc.

Bring: Yourselves. Any film that you think you’d like to watch (we have a bunch, so this is optional on your part). Snackage as required. We will have some stuff here, and, as mentioned above, Chinese food is in the offing for dinner.

This is open to Significant Others, whether or not they’re interested in playtest….bring ’em along!

The cast list has been posted on the KCRF yahoo group….

Lisa Prosser-Dodd as Queen Elizabeth — she was the Tea Dutchess last year, and plays VERY well in the lanes. I remarked last year what a good Elizabeth she’d make, and I hope to be proven correct in that assessment.

was not cast. Jen Rao got the role of Marion, and they dropped the role of Fanny entirely. Jen will be good — she and were the strongest at the callbacks, and she’s got the whole married-to-Robin-Hood thing to use for method acting motivation!

There are a shocking number of TBAs all over the cast list…..I’m hoping that at some point the Entertainment staff will realize why they’re getting fewer and fewer people auditioning every year.

Looking forward to the Chess Match auditions in June….although if that doesn’t work out, I’m sure I can contact the E.D. in late July or so, with a Street character of my own design and a list of demands (self-rotating, no parade, etc.), and get aboard that way.

I’d still prefer a Stage Show. (Had an idea for a piratically-themed comedy duo called Flotsam & Jetsam….)
