• Avenue Q

  Was great!  The part I was most nervous about ( puppet sex) was the funniest part.  At least I thought so.  But that's me and my warped sense of humor. 
  
  The night started out great with Dimitri the train conductor
  
  
  
  
  
  He was very friendly and he didn't even call us out on our obvious lie, when purchasing tickets.  I had told Matt to say he was a senior in high school, so I could get the student discount.  I had learned on the last train ride, college does not count. 
  
  Matt: One adult and one student please.
  
  Dimitri the train conductor:  How old are you?
  
  Matt:  Long pause Uhhhhh, I'm a student at local community high school
  
  Dimitri gives discounted price
  
  Learn to lie Matt!!!!!!!!!
  
  We went to dinner at Ed Debevics.  That's always fun.  A fifties style restaurant where the wait staff is rude.  I would be great there.  I don't know why it's funny to have rude wait staff, but it is.  Plus they are crazy, which I like.  Our waitress, was okay, but she was somewhat annoying.  I wanted duck man ( see pictures below.)  I did like that she called my friend a drunkie ( for having a daiquiri ) because this friend is practically the opposite of a drunk.  The friend was only drinking to prepare for the oral puppet sex in front of her 17 year old daughter. 
  
  We got cool hats there too
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  Drunkie is in the middle
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Duck man ^^^^^^^^
  
  
  
  
  
  annoying but sort of funny waitress ^^^^^  Lose the laugh and the Italian accent honey and you'll be fine.
  
  After dinner we took a cab to the Cadillac Theater to see the show.  The cab driver, a South African guy,  was VERY interested in my cool hat.  Matt, who was raised right, ( although has problems with telling white lies) and is very generous, gave his hat to the nameless cab driver. 
  
  He loved it.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  We got to the show early, so drunkie needed another drink.  Jeeze, you would think she had never seen puppet porn before.  Oh right, she hadn't.  As a matter of fact, she never even watched Sesame Street as a kid.  She's a farm girl and was always working.  I don't know how she managed to learn her letters or numbers, but I'm assuming she did. 
  
  
  
  
  
  Matt and his friend Brea ^^^^^^^
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Kate Monster above ( not Brea) was amazing.  She also played Lucy the Slut, often at the same time, which if you saw the show, you would realize how hard that would be. 
  
  She also had an amazing voice.
  
  
  
  
  Lucy the slut's boobs are real.
  
  
  
  
  Brea and her mom, Drunkie the sheltered farm girl.  I think Drunkie's boobs are real too, but I never asked.

   

  Drunkie, the sheltered farm girl, seemed like she could have used another drink during certain parts, but she lived. 

  
  
  These were a couple of our favorites in the show.
  
  Evil Bears are VERY funny
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Anyone who knows me, knows this is my kind of musical.  So even though I LOVED Wicked, I can almost see why Avenue Q beat it out as best musical.   Almost, but not quite.  Although I think this was much harder to do.
  
  Anyway, I got a shirt.  And I am hoping to get up the nerve to wear it to work.  We'll see.  I think the " boys" will love it.
  
  
  

   

  Sometimes it does suck to be me.  But it probably sucks to be you too.
