  1. wow. that's amazing.

  2. We thought about a "pirates and princesses" theme for the festival, but I couldn't choke down the "princesses" part. So we are doing "superheroes," which, mark my words, are the next pirates. [Actually, I'd say that ninjas are the next pirates, and superheroes are the next ninjas.]
