Happy New Year

newyear.jpgHappy New Year. My New Year’s eve was spent half naked, painted red, with a flaming stick in my hands. I did a gig for the Ministry of Sound. They had their New Year’s Eve party at the New Taipei Arena. I did a few spots of fire juggling on stage for them to help add to the festive atmosphere. It was an alright gig. There’s nothing like seeing thousands of faces staring at you in a semi-intoxicated state of appreciation to stoke one’s ego. My most memorable moment of the evening was trying to wash off the body paint, while the Go-go dancer on E in the shower beside me squirmed around on the floor giggling like a school girl. The water was too hot to stand under so he was using the slightly cooled floor water to try to get the makeup off. After showering he walked around the backstage area buck naked for about 25 minutes striking up conversations with whomever he could. My New Year’s resolution is go the rest of the year without wearing so much makeup that I’m washing it out of my bodily crevices for three days.
