Meet the Moderator: Kage

Dear Kage, It is really sweet that your scariest moment was so prosaic. Try things like lost under the Williamsburg Bridge, or running back and forth in a zig zag pattern on the wrong end of Court Street in Brooklyn, or down a mountain with no snow tires on the Penn St. Turnpike, or in heavy traffic on an overloaded motorcycle crossing the Tappan Zee, or guns pointing at you when in the supermarket on Sunday night trying to get some bacon and coffee. Try out laying on the floor while a robber walks around with a pistol for scared.

I wasn't really scared when they tried to bash my brains out with a brick.

As a stagehand I carried a flashlight to show nice looking girls of Riverdance where to put their feet before they got into the blinding lights of the stage.

Here you are? I look forward to seeing you dance to music by The Chemical Brothers.

Well!

It sounds like someone has had far scarier experiences in their life so far than mine.. Can't say I've had any similar things happen to me, living under the rock that I have growing up (I still haven't even seen the movies back to the future, or ET) =) thanks for the input! And you can count on the fact that I'll be dancing until my legs stop working.

You sound interesting. I look forward to seeing you around cr4.

Kage,

It is refreshing to see another dancer in this technical forum. Upon completion of my initial stint into the Army, I duel-majored in Theatre and Dance. The job I had paying my way through school was a CAD Operator, so that's how I ended up in engineering after I shattered my ankle when my plant foot, after a leap, landed on an ice cube.

Was working as a performer on a cruise ship one summer, some kids sitting adjacent to the stage were throwing ice cube at each other and one landed on the stage. The show opened with me and my partner leaping out from the wings… and ended seconds later

I still do Community Theatre and dance, although permanent damage to that ankle limits me to triple pirouettes (4 on a good day) on that foot, not good enough for professional anymore.

Anyway… welcome, good luck study hard in school, and never stop dancing!

Ouch!
