Boba FĂȘte
I had a crazy weekend and so many things kept happening that I was like boy This is a good story for your daily likes and this is a good story for your daily likes I committed the cardinal sin of not writing down everything So I don’t have all of my memories intact from the things that I thought were your daily likes worthy But I do remember plenty.
So let’s get right to it First of all this weekend was bad boy And it went well You know the you may recall we initially had three shows planned and then eventually became just two shows because it wasn’t selling all The well because most people haven’t heard of the show people who know the show love it people who see the show tend to love It it’s insane and it’s can’t be and it’s ridiculous I will say when I first heard of the show bad boy.
I assumed it had superhero related team.
That is wrong friend of the show Brian Warren thought that it had a Baseball related theme that is also wrong.
It is about the tabloid article about a half-bat half-boy creature and Yeah The mustache is gone.
I left the stage after the second show We had a two-thirds audience for opening night and a three-quarters audience for the second show I would say and they loved it like really really responsive audiences laughing along with us the whole time So it’s great, but the curtain call happens after the second show.
I head straight to the dressing room Plug my trimmer into the bathroom outlet and get rid of that mustache So when I greeted people after the show, you know three or four minutes later, they’re like wait, where’d it go?
Was it a fake mustache?
No, it was a annoying mustache.
So it is now gone and then I I kind of went to two cast parties because we had our own cast party with the crew from our show first you strike the set and There’s you know, the striking the set as we take down the set and at this particular theater They do ask the cast to help it’s not my favorite thing to do Especially because I don’t want to hurt myself and I’m not super helpful for all these things because that’s not what I do But you know It’s part of your commitment to these shows when you do them at this theaters that you’re gonna help them take down the set fine And so right away.
I’m like, how can I be helpful?
What can I do and I was doing various things and then there’s other cast members were like you hear them saying I wish I could find a thing to be helpful with while I’m you know actively helping So there’s folks from the theater venue itself and you know, these are the rough-and-tumble backstage crew staff This guy is loading up the truck With stuff that we’re taking down and I simply jump in and help him as he’s carrying various things to that truck And we hear somebody saying boy, I wish I could run help and I say to him, you know There’s two kinds of people in this world.
There’s the people who just start helping and there’s people like oh I wish I knew how to help and he very grumpily responds.
There’s more than two He’s not wrong.
There probably are more than two kinds of people in this world.
But yeah, I could not get that guy to smile It’s okay.
It’s fine.
Everything’s fine But then after that we had a small cast soiree with pizza and Colas because nobody brought any alcohol For various reasons and then I left that one and went to join a cast who was celebrating their show Into the woods and I had various friends there and Lauren who’s also a good friend of mine and we Met at a Chili’s where there was more food to eat and drinks to drink.
So that was all lovely But so all that went well, and then Sunday Lauren and I attended a wedding weirdly the people we knew the most were the entertainment like we know the Because he in fact just directed me a bad boy and he’s directed a bunch of shows Lauren did And the band that was performing at the wedding consists of a whole lot of our actor and musical theater friends And then we knew the bride because she’s from the theater community.
We didn’t really know anybody else in attendance That said it was a very nerdy wedding I said to Lauren and Lauren is really the one who knows this actress who was getting married.
I Said to Lauren I work in podcasting and I worked in technology.
How is it that you have the nerdiest friend?
because there was like a table of the D&D friends and a table of the Disney friends and a table of the theater friends and a table of the Star Wars friends and the Star Trek fans friends and Yeah, it was a very you were allowed to come in cosplay to the wedding They referred to the wedding as a con.
They did a fake comic-con panel during the reception There was a bb-8 that you could take pictures with The newly married bride and groom came through a tunnel made of lightsabers the bride was wearing Some kind of Star Wars Mickey Mouse ears and the groom was wearing I don’t even know what the kind of helmet the Boba Fett ways.
I don’t know what’s called because that’s not the kind of nerd I am But yeah, it was insane and delightful and boy I always love weddings and I love that one, too There was also a dog in that wedding and we got to blow bubbles on the bride and groom as they Returned down the aisle or up the aisle.
They did something with an aisle.
I had an aisle seat.
See what I did there.
Anyway I’ll explain it later.
That was another I’ll joke It was a jam-packed weekend of joy and the Eagles won which is also good and I thought that Lauren should explain to the bride and groom how Important their wedding was to me because I didn’t get to watch all the Eagles game live since I attended the wedding Then after all that I went to a callback because I Hadn’t been able to go to auditions for the show.
You’re a good man, Charlie Brown So I had submitted a video audition, but the callbacks were Sunday evening.
I even left the wedding early it’s the one kind of wedding you can leave early because it’s theater people to go to the callback and I’ll need to wait another week before I know what’s happening with that show, but it’d be fun to play Charlie Brown And there’s this thing that happens sometimes we’re like as I think I’ve made him even It was almost a word as I might have mentioned on this show already like an audition for Charlie Brown because I have friends auditioning For Charlie Brown, it’s not a show.
I feel particularly, you know gung-ho about in any real way It’s not one that I have any special affection for But then as I was studying for the callback and learning the songs whatever and thinking about this Charlie Brown monologue that I had to deliver You know once you’re at the callback or once you’re going to the callback sitting like I kind of do want to do this It’d be fun to play the the titular Charlie Brown and you’re a good man Charlie Brown So now I got excited about it, but who knows very very solid chance that I could not be in that show But it was fun.
I enjoyed myself at the callback.
So we’ll see I’ll keep you posted, of course But it’ll be a week.
I assume until I know anything.
Anyway, that’s my weekend update I hope you also had a wonderful weekend and happy Monday, October 28th to us all
