seems like the best way to handle this

It'd be in the evening, of course, but I'm not sure just when yet. I'm gonna shoot for 8:00, which should be no problem, but maybe it'll have to be 7:00. It's only an hour long, and again, pizza!

I am fail; I can't make any of those dates.

Nuts! I don't reckon that Friday would be any better, would it? Because if enough people can't make it at any other time but Friday the 20th, I just might do that and then drive like a madman to make it to my NYC gig the next evening!

I feel so...busy...

Clothes shopping can happen Wed or Thurs evening, but my Sunday just got eaten by a bunch of musical stuff. Dunno my schedule next week, but Mon or Tues might be an option too...hit me up and let me know.

Wednesday sounds good to me! Whereabouts would you suggest? I'm thinking Syms might be good, there's one in Rockville, dunno where any others are. It's a good clothing warehouse. Any other suggestions you might have would be welcome!

I'd need to know the style first...are you going for t-shirts, jeans, oddball stuff, fanboy stuff, a mishmash of the above, or what? Cuz if that's the case, we might want to try a few large thrift stores first (I know of three off the top of my head) and then hit up 'actual' stores afterwards. You find things at thrift stores that you'd either never find otherwise or they'd cost a fortune.

I've got a new scheme for costumes in this show. The big thing I need is a good two-piece suit. Matching coat and pants. Something casual, but definitely something that really works with me, something that says, "I'm totally comfortable with who I am."

Sounds great in theory, but I have NO idea what it would entail! I think I'll know it when I see it, but yeah, let's go explorin' and get some ideas!

Sweet, I am so looking forward to this. Yay. Squee. Etc.

Gimme a call sometime tomorrow or email me to hash out the meeting location; my van's transmission is giving me grief and I shouldn't be driving it too much. faerirish AT gmail DOT com.

god baby, I would love to see this.
I would love to see you! When am I dragging you out for shenanigans?! EMAIL ME

I"m free at the moment for all nights except Tuesday, but I don't even know if you and I actually know each other, so I can't be sure you care *grin*

Still if it happens, I'd like to know.

Howls....

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I'm... fairly certain we've met before! Somewhere! Either way, by all means, please do come! Expect details to be posted tomorrow or the day after! :)

[demonfafa.livejournal.com]

I could make any night, but Tuesdays are best for the Mrs.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain at this rate that it's gonna be Monday. Tuesday definitely doesn't seem to fly with most people, sadly!

You haven't seen the original show in any capacity, have you? It'd be great to have you, if you can swing it!

[gore-whore-5.livejournal.com]

I'd love to come, but I have classes Monday through Thursday evenings starting next week. I am teh suck. But I'll be there in spirit!

Also, the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack fucking rules.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

But your spirit can't take notes and eat pizza! It just can't! I've tried!

And yes, yes it does. I really need to own it.

[gore-whore-5.livejournal.com]

You're right, it can't. :( Wait... you've tried? How?

In keeping with the Daniel Day-Lewis theme of your music and icon, I finally saw There Will Be Blood last week. I really liked it up until the milkshake part. What the fuck was up with that? He instantly turned into you, making some random comparison that nobody in their right mind would have come to on their own- complete with flailing! But yeah, other than that part, I'd love to watch it again. I do loves me some Daniel Day-Lewis.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I just wanted to say that. :)

What?? You liked it UP UNTIL the milkshake part?! Oh my dear, no, I totally disagree, I think that scene was the perfect culmination of his character and relationship with Eli. That was his utter and total PWNED moment. How did he "turn on you?"

Also, the milkshake line is based in real-life! Found via google:

"I must admit to you where that came from," Anderson says giddily, noting that the eccentric metaphor comes straight from the congressional transcripts of the 1920s "Teapot Dome" scandal, in which New Mexico Republican Senator Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribes for the oil-drilling rights to public lands in California and Wyoming from several oil-industry fat cats (including Edward Doheny).

"I think it was Albert Fall, who was asked to describe drainage before Congress," Anderson continues. "And his way of describing it was, 'If you have a milk shake and I have a milk shake, and my straw reaches across the room...' I'm sure I embellished it and changed it around and made it more Plainview. But Fall used the word 'milk shake,' and I thought it was so great. It was mad to see that word among all this official testimony and terminology — a fucking milk shake. I get so happy every time I hear that word."

So no, I urge you to check it out again. I actually needed to see TWBB a couple times before it really sank in. The first time, it was like, "... what the FUCK did I just see??"

[gore-whore-5.livejournal.com]

Okay, that makes it better. Especially Anderson's phrasing, "a fucking milk shake." I guess I do need to see it a couple more times (oh darn. twist my arm.) to really get it because it definitely was a WTF moment.

And that kid who played Eli really impressed me because he was nothing like the kid from Little Miss Sunshine. And he was kindof creepy.
