DC @ twilight @ midnight

Okay, so I am not ashamed of the fact that I went to the opening night showing of Twilight. Mostly because I went to Divine Comedy, we took up a row and giggled during the entire movie. (It is not a comedy.)

Classic moments from the movie:

A constant flow of references to Google (product placement, ho!)

Most awkward term of endearment: "Hold tight, spider monkey."

It's one thing to read about Edward watching her sleep; it's a whole nother level of creepy to watch him do it.

Bella sputters in coherently for 20 seconds straight, easy: "Wha--? I...Edward...no...Forks...I...no...it...but...you...Google...I won't--...but... you...no..." etc, etc.

"Here's your veggie plate, Stephanie." Yes, Stephanie Myers is in the restaurant in the movie! Is she seeking to emulate the runaway success of M. Night Shyamalan?

The random "apple catching" pose that reproduces the cover of the book. What are they going to do with the other books? "Look, I found some flowers..." "Would you like to play a game of chess?"

Yes, yes, indeed this is setting itself up for a DC headliner parody. A little too well, a little too well.

Written by Sara and Lindsi

Hey everyone! We're sitting here with everyone preparing for the next show (and watching Casino Royale as "research" for the next show) and we decided to update this blog. Just to give all of our readers (some of whom are hopefully not in the cast or crew) a little taste of what this show will have in it, we're going to list a few of the props that we've been gathering this past week:

- A giant cardboard whale
- 8 life size(or close enough!) Mario Karts
- Lard in a jar
- A gaudily massive engagement ring
- 8 fake gold medals
- 8 real gold medals
- A stuffed rat

For those of you who would like to come find out how this all could possibly come together to make a funny sketch, tickets go on sale Monday, the 10th at the WILK info desk!

Things That Are Only Funny in Retrospect

1-Driving into a port-a-potty
2- Cat sweaters
3- The 70s. The entire decade
4-snorting milk at your nose on your 3rd grade crush
5-calling a fat woman pregnant
6-Comics from the 19th century (wait, that's things that are NOT funny in retrospect)
7-When you hear a pop in the car after grocery shopping and you think that it was a gun shot and you feel something viscous running down your neck and assume it's brains but actually the can of pillbury biscuits dough exploded in the car.
8- Troll collections
9-Playing tree # 5 in the school play
10-When Matt and Natalie said they hated each other for so long, but then got married and had 12 children, one named after each member of the cast and stage crew. (Wait, this hasn't happened ...yet)

My shiny A B

For all of you that came to our DC show on the 17th and 18th of October, thank you very much. I appreciate the complements we have been receiving. For all of you that went and calmed not to like it, I have one thing to say. My butt you didn't like it, my shiny Apple butt.
