to anton, to kwaku's mama sue, to my dad, to scout, to v, to brian, to tylar, to lola, to ama, to marlow for telling me to figure it out after i said i don't think i can put a show together in 6 days, to the crowd who looked on in wonder, to jonah for the restrictions, to love, to friendship, to imagination

i learned this week that the cover of the kate's album 'the dreaming' was her homage to houdini and his wife who played a significant role in his performances...before he was bound up with chains to a tank or box, she would surreptitiously pass him a key concealed between her lips so he could escape his eleborate tricks. apparently kate found this idea "unbearably romantic" and created the scene with her husband.
