[Mb-hair] HAIR: Theater of the Ridiculous

[Katie Kasben]

Exactly! Like the proposed ban on Flag burning...I love the fact that for a 
flag past it's prime,
the official protocol says To BURN IT.   - i just got a fortune cookie that 
says, "the heart is wiser than the intellect"- must be so.

BUT- what I really want to tell you all is- THE COOLEST THING HAPPENED 
TONIGHT!!!

We were in rehearsal and one of the cast members came in late...and brought 
with him a black man-and everyone burst into spontaneous applause!  really 
genuine too.  i don't think he quite knew what to do with that.  it was 
awesome.  He is too old (and big) to play Hud, but he's a theatre guy and 
has a fantastic vibe.

AND- a friend of my mom's gave me the number of Daddy Watts, a VERY 
connected black gentleman in town.  He was so nice~ he invited me to brunch 
at his house on Saturday, and he said there would be many people there I 
would be interested in talking to!!!

and  i have a meeting with a local youth center, plus talked to our local 
NAACP chapter, and was told to submit a request in writing.

Wouldn't it be sooo cool if we could all get outside of ourselves and bust 
open some communication lines?

I guess I'm a little excited.
everyone is beautiful.

Love,
Katie

ALOHA NUI LOA!
