*651 - comments on my piece

Most interesting comment tonight directed to me from the post-show discussion with the audience went something like this:

"I don't mean to offend you" (my heart sinks at this point) "but I really liked your piece" (I cheer up considerably) "because it reminded me of a movie about aliens where their legs bent in the wrong direction which gave them the illusion of being able to run very fast."

Which I take as a compliment because that imagery is just ... groovy.

Which, also, makes me wonder in which direction those aliens sit down and what their chairs look like.
