Had a nice time at Art House, though probably would have had a better one at the Hallowe'en party.
A nice diverse group of acts-
Joe Jacovino did a song he wrote about Hallowe'en.
Richard Kirkwood (Lord Byron in Camino Real with me) and his girlfriend Lexie Levin did a ghost story he'd written himself.
I sang my limericks.
Beth Bentley did her "Ida" character with a Hallowe'en skit, with Ida passing out apples because she'd eaten all the candy herself.
David Jacobsen did some songs (he was dressed as a Ghostbuster).
and Melissa Surach did her version of a 1930s song about New Jersey.
Limericks were great- Christine said I was the highlight of all the acts.
Audience favorites were:
A bad little girl in Madrid,
A most reprehensible kid,
Told her Tante Louise
That her cunt smelled like cheese,
And the worst of it was that it did!
There was a young lady from China
Who mistook for her mouth her vagina
Her clitoris huge
She covered with rouge
And lipsticked her labia minor.
Christine was dressed as a vampire bride, and Jack was Death ("You may know me from such films as The Seventh Seal, Meet Joe Black, and Jerry Maguire...")
I was dressed as a pirate, with fairy wings. Everyone assumed that meant I was a gay pirate. I don't need wings to be gay.
I was going to wear the big-ass Titania wings, but they were too cumbersome and it was raining, so I went with the smaller ones that Shawn wore as Cobweb.
Many people said the wings just made the costume.
Roland and some friends were the Art House Band. He's VERY excited that he's in Christmas Carol now!
The Accumulation Project was being shown in the big room. Neat stuff. The collection of UPC codes is hung from the ceiling on a long winding piece of cardboard to be displayed. The codes keep getting knocked off like dominoes.
Chatted a lot with Melissa's boyfriend- he thought I was very funny. Melissa said she'd love for me to come perform at her gigs sometime.
Didn't get out of there till 1:30; didn't get home till 3am.
Off to see Orion in Hamlet tonight. Just discovered it's
Hamlet 2050- I'm wary, but Orion seems to think it's good. We'll see.
On the SmartTix site it says "Shakespeare meant this play to be as true for all of us in 2007 as it was in 1602 and will be in 2050. Come share the insights of this 21st century hero."
Did he really? Ooh, the futuristic 21st century! Must... contain... the snark!
Just ordered again from the Chinese Food place that gave me free food last time because I only had credit cards. They were happy to hear from me. Mmmm, General Tso's Lunch special. Mmm, may nap before Hamlet.
