It’s official. We’ve crossed the line into interactive entertainment! In the next post I’ll tell you all about our fun weekend, but I wanted to post about this separately since we came to this conclusion on Sunday.
We’ve been doing a lot of art shows and plays lately, as some of you have noticed. It started out as a way to meet more artsy people and start networking for Nick’s comic, but we’ve realised that once you start seeing little plays and being entertained, seeing a movie just doesn’t cut it. There are a ton of movies out that we’d like to see, but as much as we love seeing them in the theatre, if we have to choose between a movie or a play, art show, whatever, we’ll choose any of these over the movie.
Even if the play is small and weird, it’s still more fun than sitting in a movie. Hell, we saw an interpretive dance piece set to a Flaming Lips record – I shit you not – and loved it. It was totally weird and totally fun.
The art shows this weekend were so much more fun than drinking at the Con or seeing a movie or even going to a party. It’s hard to explain, but once you get used to this kind of interactive entertainment it really changes your priorities as far as planning your activities!
We hope you locals will give a hollah if you’re interested in joining us for these shows. It’s usually really cheap (much of the theatre stuff is free or “pay what you can”) and very fun. :-)
