Today went to see Disney Dethroned, a most excellent one-man show (well, two-men if you count the musician on stage with him). Clever, biting, hilarious, tightly written and performed (if you click through the link and scroll down the page you can watch a small clip of it). The format reminded me of the Creative Expression category in high school speech - like if you gave somebody who was excellent at that an hour to fill, instead of 8 minutes, this would be the kind of thing they would come up with.
This was supposed to be the final performance, but it was the best-selling show at the Mixed Blood venue, so it earned the encore spot tomorrow night (Sunday 8:30 pm). Go see it while you still can!
We went out for ice cream afterwards, and not only was there a parking spot right across the street from Sebastian Joe's* (that never happens) but I pulled off a perfect parallel park (also a rarity, which is why I am always so inordinately pleased with myself when that happens, to the point of needing to brag about it).
*I love how, once you've introduced somebody to the pure deliciousness that is Sebastian Joe's, the lamest, thinnest reasoning will easily persuade them to go back. It starts with "We had a great concert - let's go to Sebastian Joe's!" Then (d)evolves to "That was an awesome play - let's go to Sebastian Joe's!" And pretty soon it's all: "The sun is shining - let's go to Sebastian Joe's!" "The Twins lost that one - let's go to Sebastian Joe's!" "It's a Tuesday - let's go to Sebastian Joe's!" You get the picture. :)
