To the left of the stage was a huge screen with live action shots of whoever was performing.  Pam caught this one as I was dancing SPEAK in 90 degree heat.  I was grateful that I did not pass out.  I was also happy to be there, part of this big festival, the first of its kind in Boston.  Everyone in the backstage area was wonderful:  Masha, Diane, Iona, Shawna and Sheila – all kind, helpful and enthusiastic.  I found the atmosphere around the event refreshing, unpretentious and exciting, despite the crushing heat and humidity.  Bravo Boston!  Bravo Outside the Box!
