The Ramblings of Rev. Karl

Last weekend I got to go see the new Coraline movie and thought it was most excellent. I loved the book and thought the movie successfully captured the spirit and was wonderfully creepy. I didn't mind the changes from the book and would recommend both :-)

Yesterday I saw Avenue Q at the Warner theater which is there until the 15th - it was also most excellent. I'd heard most of the music but never seen the play, I laughed my ass off. Among the humor I think there is a lesson there to enjoy life as it comes and that not everything has to be perfect - also, invest in porn.

This weekend I'll be on St. Thomas, busy sitting on a beach in the sun, drinking rum. Enjoy your snow :-)

P.S. LJ valentine's can be found at valentines_09, hope everyone has a happy Valentine's Day.

Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind is coming to DC! We're planning on going to see it on December 21st at 2 pm. Anyone else want to join us? Comment here if you want me to get you a ticket so you can sit with us.

Pleased to report that One Man Star Wars is absolutely brilliant. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I highly recommend it - for those across the water, he's touring UK next so try and catch one of his shows. Thanks again to kestrel127 for hooking us up with tickets.

A group some of my artist/musician/theater friends may be interested in: Omaemoda.

According to sharrainchains they are currently looking for acoustic musical acts, stand-up comedians, poetry readings, dancers, etc. to perform in the festival they have scheduled for December 1-4 in Adams Morgan.

So on Wednesday zammis, faireraven, sagemcargh, wylddelirium, danamorrigan, and yours truly left Brunswick at the crack of dawn on a road trip to NYC to see Spamalot. In New York we met up with kalkail, Paul, chowyunsmut, and Mark. Logistics went smoothly, chowyunsmut was running a little behind due to being given the wrong time, but still made it time for the show, so all was well. I love it when a plan comes together.

The show itself was awesome, a big heaping slice of wrongness. I don't remember the last time I laughed that much. There were some bits taken straight from the movie, but it really is its own show. Lots of in-jokes for Python fans, and poking fun at Broadway as well. The songs were great - I thought we we're going to have to scoop sagemcargh up off the floor after "You Won't Succeed on Broadway". As zammis mentioned, we'll never be able to look at Wash the same way again - two words - sequin codpiece.

Thanks to all that joined us.

( Intercon, Faire, and Dead Can Dance, oh my! )

To any men interested in acting, a community theatre in Greenbelt is looking for additional male actors for a production of "Six Characters in Search of an Author." Details here. It's an awesome play, I'd go for it myself if it wasn't in Greenbelt.

Note to self: Buy tickets for The Producers.

Edit: Done. We're going August 18th.
