Wednesday: Balpit @ Vibe
The increasingly popular Balpit will begin again on Wednesday 17th January at Cafe Vibe, this year as a weekly event. Responding to calls for more frequent opportunities to move very little in confined spaces, Balpit anchor Dave Shackleford stated "It will be nice to get out and get some exercise again." Mr Shackleford did not, apparently, see any contradiction in his opinion. "No, no - bal really makes me sweat." Nor did Mr Shackleford see a correlation between wearing woollen argyle vests and precipitation. Or perspiration.
Ms Claudia Funder, in more measured comments this afternoon said that she was looking forward to the new year at the new venue. "It'll be nice for Dave to get out and get some exercise." When queried about her own fashion portfolio for the new year, Ms Funder was far more forthcoming: "This year I'm going to be all about skirts. I see skirts as the next big thing in balboa."
Mr Shackleford declined to comment further on fashion, and indeed expressed only the opinion that he'd like to see "...more writers trying bal. Then we'd see who's really working the old pulmonory aorta, wouldn't we."
