The Final Curtain ......

.............thank you ... good night............ The Full Monty is OVER! Man, o MAN...what a hellacious run we had. We kicked the proverbial ass and then some with this run at Runaway Stage Theater. Here are a couple great shots!

Sake To Me

I told Drunk Drama Queen that I was just going to put up a picture and give the punch line....but the story is ENTIRELY too funny not to tell:

It was DDQ's surprise birthday party. Now, my dear reader, as you may or may not know, your hero is not a big fan of Japanese food. However, since it is her favorite, I went thinking I should be able to find SOMETHING I could possibly stomach. Zen Toro in downtown Sacramento.....I highly reccomend it!

We make our way to the resturant, and the waitress, Megan, says the most beautiful words in the English Language: "Can I get you a cocktail, Mr Lucas?" (ok ok, so she didn't say Mr Lucas....but I was feeling very retro just now).... I perk up and say "why, yes you can Megan!" As I begin to go through my mental rolodex of tasty beverage concoctions, I see across the way, a couple drinking out of what seems to be a pine wood box. I exclaim with a childish curiousity "What is THAT!?" Megan says "Sho Chiku Bai Sake, Mr Lucas" (I'm on a roll, just flow with Me won't you). I say, "well bring Me a bottle! I want to drink out of that box too!!"

So Megan proceeds to pour yours truely a box of sake......and boys and girls, kats and kittens, rockers and ALL the mutha truckin rolla's.......this is the SHIZNET!!....I could not believe how good this was.....

Now...as in most resturants, the wait staff wear a uniform of sorts.....and by about my 3.5 helping of sake, I am in RARE form....I think I made some reference to her mom gettin jiggy with it or something to that effect.....whence, from the corner of My eye....I a uniform....."MEGAN!!" I cry out......and to my shigrin (how cool of a word is shigrin anyway?!) a strapping young MALE lad appraoches [insert the screaching tire brakes sound effect please]. Now....read My words very carefully on this next chunk o' fun:

"HEY! You're not Megan! You know how I KNOW you're not Megan....Cuz I'm drinkin SAKE"

Thankfully, I was not asked to leave the resturant.....so....here's to you My fellow co-horts in cocktail consumption........CHEERS

Obsess Much?

I have an undying love of music…..all styles…..all genre’s……this is no mystery to those of you who know your faithful Superhero…..

I also fancy myself a music trivia aficionado.

Lately for the last few months, there is a bit of trivia I just can’t shake…

I can’t find the answer anywhere and it is one of those OCD moments where I just HAVE to know…..

               

                        Let me bring you into my hell:

The pre-chorus in the song “I’m Alright” (featured in the film classic, Caddyshack) by Kenny Loggins, there is a line

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

It is on the “cannonball it right away” line that I SWEAR it is Eddie Money singing. Do not mistake this….when I say I obsess over this…I am talking listening to it on my Ipod over and over…rewinding to the :47 second mark and listening to it…..hands over headphones….eyes closed…..trying to see if there are any Eddie Money hints that I have not caught yet……….

In the words of Dave Buttatinsky from The Full Monty:

“…….and how was YOUR day?”

going The Full Monty....

Hello you rockin' web surfers......thanks for swingin on by.....it's not everyday that I have a full blown (no pun intended) picture of a group of saucy guys in uniform....but I DO have a purpose (and not the "special purpose" you are thinking of ya perv)....the opening night for the show The Full Monty is this weekend. The show is really good plus the theater is one of the best in Northern California. Click the picture to head on over and check it out.......

Rehearsals have been good but tech week has been HELL.......and lets REALLY not get started as far as the aromatic buffet that is the mens dressing room....I am not sure what more than 3 hours of sleep is like yet, but hope to find out soon.....

Also coming up when I have time, my reviews of the REO Speedwagon, Journey, and Def Leppard shows I have been to.....good reading folks, you won't want to miss out!!
