mime birthday song

After promising to not sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the beautiful birthday girls, 35 friends came together and mimed it.
Have you ever witnessed a room full of people emphatically “singing”?
It’s a beautiful thing.

The day can best be summarized with the lyrics to this Led Zeppelin song…

Hey lady–you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh Darling… walk a while with me
You’ve got so much…

Many have I loved – Many times been bitten
Many times I’ve gazed along the open road.

Many times I’ve lied – Many times I’ve listened
Many times I’ve wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man who knows what he’s been missing
Many many men can’t see the open road.

Many is a word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing ’bout a thing you really ought to know, ooh!
You really ought to know…

Dreaming in Holga

Felice Cumpleanos Lailani

We celebrated with Carginane/Grenache rosé, pizza and spangly belly dancer scarves from Little Kabul.
No better way to welcome in another revolution around the sun.
Loves!

Mime Face

Obviously, we had 35 minutes to kill before a non-profit conference call.
Obviously, we were inspired by a man being punched by another man.
