I got some Shelly on my shoe!
Word count right now: 1,952.
Plot so far: Not much, but Johnny has officially joined the band now, so at least something's happened in the first 2,000 words!
Anyway. Last night, AS PLANNED, teh Niki and teh Niki's boy and I got all dressed up in old jeans and white tees and went to see EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL at the Generic Theater. We were the second group in line for the Splatter Zone, and the first to find seats: front row, dead center.
Teh Niki's boy got knocked in the knee by Good Old Reliable Jake during "Good Old Reliable Jake", a story which was almost immediately overshadowed by the fact that Good Old Reliable Jake went on to give me a lap dance.
The show was brilliant, the cast was great, we laughed hysterically through the whole thing and the show stopped dead for applause any time Ash said any of his more famous lines. ("Good, bad...I'm the guy with the gun." "This is my BOOMSTICK!" "Give me some sugar, baby." And, of course, "Shop smart. SHOP S-MART!") Cheryl breaking out "If Chins Could Kill" by Bruce Campbell when Scott told her to "go read a book" was, I think, one of everyone's favorite moments.
At the end of the first act, all three white t-shirts were still spotless, and there was some disappointment discussed during intermission. This was soon remedied in the second act; we're pretty sure that backstage, various cast members were going "Hey, did you see those idiots in the front row wearing white? Okay, so in this scene, you get the one on the right, and I'll get the one on the left, and, uh, you target the middle one." We were drenched and sticking to ourselves by the time we left. The staff were taking pictures of audience members leaving, just candid snapshots, but when we came out they stopped us and went "Okay. We have to get a photo of you three."
:D
It was kind of a ridiculously awesome experience. OMGYAY.
