Helldorado, i mean, THE RUNDOWN
Last night, I caught Z's new piece, 'The Adventures of Pussy (puh-see) and Cordelia', a host of other puppet shorts, and the man who WAS Snuffalupagus shook my hand.
SNUFFY SHOOK MY FREAKING HAND!!!
AHHHH!!!!!! Then he went back to directing his 30-minute slam of Sesame Street, 'Pidgeonholed'. It was great! The set/characters were parodies of classic SS stuff/scenarios; it even had a giant bird and a trash monster. Everything that apparently sucks about working with weirdo puppet people was played up and put on the shoulders of the show's one human character, who desperately wanted to distance herself from Children's TV and do MacBeth. Z had a pretty big part, as the voice of reason / a gerbil who humps a chair and has an on-stage orgasm. NEAT!!
I can't really explain our trip to Block Island (besides that Mideval Madness is officially the best pinball game, ever), but here's a story for ya. SO THERE I WAS, 11 hours straight driving from Baltimore two Sundays ago, just outside Atlanta when it starts to POUR. Rain is coming down so heavy it's horizontal. In 5 minutes, poof - it dissapates to nothing and the sun beams down on my car...causing . . . .
A rainbow! It was massive. In my rearview I saw that it started way off on the horizon and ended...in my trunk! Mist coming off the car must've had some crazy effect, because for about 60 seconds, the end of a rainbow was in the trunk of my Mitsubishi Mirage. Can anybody top that rainbow story??
