Adam and Eric's host parents, Shyamali and Ranjit, had a party of their friends and relatives and we made the cut! Score! However, there was a conditional: we must perform for them a talent show.
It all started the night before (as these things occasionally do), when somehow Ranjit wormed our performance talents out of us.
Tiffany: traditional Thai dancing
Becca: I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston
Me: a little lyrical/ballet
Drew: whistling
Adam: juggling
Brenna: singing like Louis Armstrong
Eric: Piano accompaniment for everyone
He and Shyamali enjoyed it SO MUCH they required a repeat performance for all their friends at the large dinner party. All the guests heartily approved of our antics; Anterin (Erik and Adam's late 20s host brother) did an impassioned rendition of Julius Caesar complete with lots of shouting and a sword, consequently making a small child cry. By this point, Ranjit was a little tipsy and did a very spirited version of King Lear. He wore one of Shyamali's saris as a toga. I think I'll end on that visual.
