Mauvais Sort

A busy weekend ended with Owen and I attending the opening reception for Mauvais Sort, a French Canadian band who is the fourth and final group of international musicians coming to the BCPA through ArtsMidwest's World Fest program. The program has already brought musicians from Israel, Japan, and China over the past two years. They've all been wonderful, but I think Mauvais Sort might be my favorite.

Owen's too. He had a great time at the reception.

Before the music ever started, he enjoyed some high-sugar beverages (a green like that is not produced in nature), and took some time to show off a new Hot Wheels car to all of my coworkers.

As I ran around and took some photos of the event, Owen cuddled in with Sandy, the wife of our Facility Manager, Dave. "He knows a grandma when he sees one," Sandy said.

Indeed, as the music played on, even the band's uptempo rhythms and foot stomping couldn't keep Owen from feeling a little tired, especially in light of the time change the day before. He rested on Sandy's arm through to the end of the show.

Hopefully we'll get him out for the group's public performance on Friday so he can try it all again.
