Scarrie - The Musical
Last night I won tickets to see the parodage (parody homage) Scarrie: The Musical. It turned out to be pretty fun. It was another of those Hell in a Handbag Productions. There was a pretty interesting crowd. The cast consisted of primarily trixies, which brought in all these trixies and their boyfriends, which meant that there was stuff to look at onstage as well as off.
In front of me sat four women who were a little older, like they'd have a twenty-something daughter in the show, perhaps. During intermission they pulled out a cellphone-shaped flask of some alcohol that must've been pretty potent. They took turns taking swigs and competed in making disgusted faces and taking pictures of themselves while they did it. It was quite cute. I wish I could've hacked into their digital camera and stolen the photos (ah, bluetooth piracy is so young, kids who are about 12 years old now will certainly be able to pull this off when everything's bluetooth enabled and all your digital photos will imediately be beamed off to a remote site, so you'll never have to use digital media again - just watch and wait).
Local talent David Cerda enjoys the local scene, so he's written in a cameo appearance for local celebrities. On this night, my pal Jason Paul of Boi Magazine and ChicagoPride.com made a cameo appearance as well as famed PodCaster Madge Weinstein. They're roles were to be Prom Chaperones. Apparently, they ad-libbed all their lines and gave the other "seasoned" actors a run for the money, resulting in them being practically hooked off stage as though they were on the gong show. Madge yelled out as she was being pulled off, "Fuck David Cerda!" It was quite funny. Most notably to Mr. Cerda himself, who had been sitting in the audience for the show and bust out laughing the loudest.
After the show, I met up with John at The Pepper Lounge.
Joining us were also fellow PodCast producers Fausto and Mark. They produce the Feast of Fools podcast which is getting quite a bit of notice lately (Fausto is in this month's advocate, even).
I'd wanted to go to Pepper because my optical shop's next art show is featuring Audrey Keller, who, in addition to being a wonderful photographer, is also a waiter there. I needed to deliver this show's postcards to Audrey, so it was a nice excuse to get some food and a couple delicious coctails from the wonderful and talented Linda Little, as well.
Anyway, I have to cut this short because I have to go to work, but the evite to Audrey's show is linked here, so all of you should try and stop by the night of August 5th and check out the show and my shop.
