Deep Dish

Song by Ani DiFranco here or vid down below

"If you want to dance with me

I'll tell you how its gonna be

Cause I can't wait for the dance floor to fill..."

Ah once again, concept crisis. I was planning one act that is extremely complicated and modestly epic and I really want to do the song justice. RL health problems left me working on my craptop most of the time I was to be working on my act.

While I was DJ'ing my own private pity party, I came across a song that induced everything but pity.  It brought my spirits up and told me to put it on my list for later.  So when this concept crisis hit I brought out this good ole Ani tune, full of funk and fun.

It is set in a Chicago pizza joint, but I turned it into a lesbian bar circa late 90's- early 00's.  I also imagined my costuming from the same time, leather jacket, jeans, shaved head/ponytail.  Of course if I were to walk into a lesbian bar tomorrow someone would be rockin' this same look, but with a white tank instead of an awesome leopard corset.

Definitely a fun act, the energy of it still brings me up.  Bought some new Studio4D dances that allowed me to own the dance floor, like the song says I should do.  Also bought a lot of mesh people for props, and enough instruments to get my own band going someday.  In the end this one was about the dance, and with limited mobility, it is a wonderful thing to use my avi to help heal my RL self even if it was just mental, that is 50% of the healing process.
