just high enough to bruise the shins of an often questionable crowd,
the question being, how many people constitute a crowd?

One Yellow Rabbit announces erotic collaboration with Rheos Artistic Director Blake Brooker of Calgary's One Yellow Rabbit, western Canada's most successfu avant garde theatre company, announced during Western Nationals that it had entered into an agreement with the Rheostatics to develop a new show for the 21st High Performance Rodeo based on Dave Bidini's hockey erotica: the working title is "Five Hole." "Canada Council approached us to commission a work for its 30th anniversary next year and, somehow, this show seemed like something that we could do," said Brooker. The multi-media extravaganza is in an embryonic stage at the moment but -- "if the stars align", says Brooker, who is thrilled to be working with a band he's watched for more than a decade -- something 'unexpected' will take the stage in Calgary in January 2007.

clipped from www.wawatay.on.ca The initiates were instructed in the codes of conduct and ethics and given the history of the Ojibway Warrior Society, songs and ceremonies. They were also taught the four guiding principles of the O-KII-JI-DA society, which are duty, responsibility, obligation and loyalty. the Harmony Keepers do, a member Jerry Lopez said, "The Harmony Keepers protect the sacredness of ceremonies or the peace at events. In order to do that, it means that you have to learn the ceremonies, the history, culture and tradition. Then learn how to defend them without violence. You have to learn to defend them by learning the culture." Lopez also added, "What the elders talk about is sacred and important. If anything disrupts that energy then the outcome will be different. O-KII-JI-DA, in Ojibway can be broken down into several different words and has evolved over time, ogi" meaning him or her, "chi" meaning big or great and "ohday" meaning heart. O-KII-JI-DA means "a person with great heart."

when we were children it was winter in the mountain
where you feel free, but you do like to read in the sun

clipped from en.wikipedia.org On April 19, 1770, a marriage per procurationem, or a marriage to her brother Ferdinand, in place of Louis Auguste, took place in Vienna's Augustine Church. They did this because Marie would have entered France as the Archduchess of Austria until she married Louis and the French would not allow it. By this "marriage" taking place, she could enter the French court as the Dauphine, and then be officially married to Louis Auguste. Two days later, a sobbing Maria Antonia left Vienna to her mother's parting words, "Farewell, my dearest. Do so much good to the French people that they can say that I have sent them an angel." [3] Traveling along the Danube River and accompanied by a large entourage of nearly 14 carriages, they passed through Munich, Augsburg, Günzburg, Ulm and Freiburg im Breisgau, before finally reaching the Rhine border between Kehl and Strasbourg weeks later.
