Yesterday (Saturday) I had to leave for Fools Play way early — like around 2:15 (though I didn't end up leaving until closer to 2:30). Carrie Y I got up, had breakfast, played Mario Kart, and then did a quick 10-minute workout before she discovered that there was a Laguna Beach marathon on TV. This caused us to split up. She went in the bedroom and watched absolute crap on the TV in there; I stayed in the living room and watched the Teen Titans episode with the late(?) Kole.
Then I shaved and showered and got ready and by then it was practically time to go.
Why did I have to go to Fools Play so early? Because we were debuting a new and rather complicated format, "Fools Play Musical." So we had to run through it before the show with Ed, who wasn't able to make any of the practices about it. Taisha was also supposed to be at the show, but Oscar got sick so she stayed beyond the mountains to take care of her puppy.
When we got to the theater, though, there was someone practicing some sorta bongo things in a back room, and there was trash all over the floor. Thankfully someone came and swept it all up, but we had to practice in the back room rather than taking the stage. Oh, well.
After practicing for a couple of hours we three went the Olympia Thriftway to buy a cheap boquet of flowers for a joke during the show. We listened to the Home Movies CD in the car. It is a fun-nay CD. After Thriftway we to El Nopal, a Mexican restaurant. I had two cheese enchiladas, even though Carrie had packed me a dinner.
When we got back to the theater we met a girl who is renting out one of the side studios for her painting. She seemed not to know that the entire building was booked every Saturday. It seems like that is information that you should tell to your renters, eh? I guess not! She was nice, though.
Anyway, the show was freakin' spectacular. It went over really well. There were songs from: Jerry the Spy & Arch Fiend; Sasparilla, USA; Monster Court; FPRL; Actor & Amateur; Tallman; Uncle Dave's Clubhouse with "Do the Photo Moto"; Strip Club Sub; Spid & Snoob; and a big finalé with Horace & Cecil, Mr. Offensive, the Cave Bros., G'nar the Duck, Saturday Town, Fezbot Sezbot, Firehouse, and Friend.
Seriously, if you weren't there you really, really, really missed out. It is one of my favorite shows of recent memory. I hope it sounds good in the recording, because for the most part my singing didn't totally suck.
After the show I got gas and then almost went the wrong way down a one-way street before making my way to the Rib Eye, where I sat with Sandy and Ed, and then later Geoff replaced Ed who went to sit at another table. On the way to Rib Eye I ate the dinner that Carrie had packed (some of it, at least), so at Rib Eye I only ordered a peanut butter slash fudge milkshake. Geoff ended up buying for the entire table, which was very cool of him. Then I drove home.
