One Week Down, One To Go . . .
I experienced the effects of battle-fatigue this past day . . . heh . . . . .
There was another performance at another mall, as I said last time. Well, we had a lion dance on the main stage to kick things off, which went smoothly enough. Pretty much everyone screwed up small here and there (ya know, lion head sliding off the knee of his tail, guys rolling back and getting wrapped up in the tail . . . the drummer dropped one of his sticks . . . lotsa fun stuff!). Well, I was playing the cymbals for this . . . and let me tell ya, I felt out of it! We were about 3 minutes in, and I was getting sore! My shoulders, chest, and arms just didn't feel like going all-out anymore! Such is what happens when you do the exact same vigourous thing the previous day . . .
After we were done, we were later succeeded by various forms of dancers, singers, and our younger club members doing a kung-fu demo. We, of course, got to see very little of this: we were doing more "choi chiang" (the lettuce-eating thing)!
Alright, so this is a BIG mall . . . there were like, 50-some stores we had to do the lettuce thing for, which took us almost 3 hours to finish! So when you have a rotation of about 8 guys going in and out of a single lion, and about the same number of people rotating between the drum, cymbals, and gong, well . . . it gets tiring . . . really, really tiring . . . . . we did get quite a following of people, though; there was always a huge crowd of people around us as the lion would go up, do its bowing, its dancing, and its vegetable destruction (and thusly its money-getting). I did tail for one, I remember, though mostly I stuck to my cymbals. But yeah, it was all over eventually . . . and we were greeted with congratulations and buns (yay buns!).
Next performance thingy isn't until next Saturday. Hopefully by then people will have forgotten about Chinese New Year . . . . .
. . . . hey, it could happen!
