Clients. Who needs ’em?

Life is funny.

I was supposed to have a gig tonight, a big production with three other performers, plus a facepainter and five safety people. We had all put in a lot of work on this. I’ve put in at least 14 hours, and I know that others put in more.

Andrew, who has been coordinating our group, met the sponsor at the venue tonight, and the sponsor evidently said something to the effect of “Oops, we forgot to cut you a check!” And they couldn’t scrape together anything out of petty cash, so that show is not happening. Right this minute, Andrew is trying to scare up an alternate venue so that we can still put on a show.

Physical Inconstants

The Economist: “Can physical constants change over time? Some scientists think so. Others are struggling to explain how”

Just when you thought you were completely confused, something like this comes along and shows that it’s still possible to be even more confused.
