   About Cotton Candy
Here, scrumptious melodies and piquant wit make short shrift of fools. Mold and enemas revel in sudden celebrity; kitchen utensils take on a fresh sheen. Dressed to the nines in fluffy stuff, operatic diva Heidi Kooy hits the soprano spot, while violinist and Miss Accordion San Francisco 2004 Linda Robertson presses all the right buttons. Underpinning this cabaret confection is steely-chinned upright bassist Tom Edler, and sensitive Aaron Kierbel with his delicato drums. Atop it all, Matt Cannon sprinkles his fairy magic with multiple mallets, an eight-foot marimba, celeste, pump organ and NEW for 2007! rainbow hand bells. Our charming songs are 100% original, and it's a class act: the music's written out properly on staves and the words are all spelled and punctuated correctly! Since Spring 2001, we've been spreading pastel power across the Bay Area, most recently at Slim's and the Sea of Dreams. We've pinked-up the SF and Cotati accordion festivals, lit up Alamo Square and Twin Peaks, and played for a sub-zero arctic dinner, in ski-wear. No project is too silly.

18H30 21H --- LE MÉNILMUTANT

BALS BARGES...
PREMIERS BALS FLOTTANTS DE FRANCE !!!
DEPARTS DES NAVETTES DU BASSIN DE LA VILLETTE !!!
(métro Jaurès)

BALS BARGES

Tous les dimanches de cet été,
ces bals flottants sont une manière originale
de renouer avec la tradition des guinguettes du bord de l’eau.
Venez vous plonger dans un bal épris d’ailleurs
où la passion vous immerge dans une folie délirante !!!
Le vertige, alors, a des accents de poésie
et s’appelle valse musette, java, swing, tango…
Une fièvre délicieuse vous saisit. Venez vous perdre !!!

Les BALS BARGES s’inscrivent dans le cadre
de L’ÉTÉ DU CANAL DE L’OURCQ
à l’initiative du Comité Départemental du Tourisme.

people were sat swaying
and i believe they were actually listening to the lyrics! because every now and again there were some cheeky smiles!
it was lovely!
and because more people came in, about 20 minutes later, i thought "oh... i'll play another one"
so the many ways of wank came on to!
