A moment of "outsider" modern dance from August 2006.

Wedding

Congrats to Matt & Elise.

Even if the boy isn't paying much mind.

And thanks to the guests for the world class ad hoc string bandaging. (Seen/heard here: Stephanie Prausnitz, Barbara Hansen, Evie Ladin, Dan Kluger, Ed Rudolph, and Martha Hawthorne, with calling by Amy Hofer.)

Gordon

For those who've never taken holiday on the island of Sodor, Gordon is the big, blue steam engine who pulls the Sodor express train. (Where anyone is heading on Sodor in such a hurry has never been made quite clear.)

He's also kind of a bully and a blowhard.

Still, the boy seems attached to him. Also: the boy has a runny nose.

Railroad Baron

Advice to parents: if you're about to get started with Thomas & Friends, buy into the "Take-Along" diecast universe, like Target sells. The wooden sets'll kill you.
