Best Tamalalia, yet. Batman Jones' Theatre Company really out-did themselves this time. This isn't that insider joke, you have to know the company, type of funny either. This is making fun of being in "Love," with many small character roles, about 6 per actor, changing costumes all the time. One lady in the front row actually fell out of her chair laughing. That's the truth. Who lives in Houston; I always forget? Mango Behad Pole Jeff/Mrs Jeff Rockets2K RocketMan Tex RR Popeye Holdon Really, top notch cc.net entertainment here. Just like Jeff's band, CBFC's band, and Behad's bbq, you won't be sorry. Try to go. Even though it sold out its extended 7 weeks in 1 day, I hear you can still get in, if you know the secret handshake.
Batman, correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe all subseqeunt Tamalalia 7: The Love Show are sold out!!! but they do have a standby list and you can always call IBP to see if tix are available... and btw, yes, it was funny!!
They are. But I hear rumor that one show there might be a secret handshake for cc.net members. btw: Batman Jones put me on freaking stage without warning me in the "Dating Game" skit. grrrr
ad lib. I said, my idea of the perfect date is going to the girls house and serinading her with song and a homecooked Italian dinner. Afterwards, for entertainment, we catch a bus and drive around having a cocktail party followed by a night of music and dancing at my favorite speakeasy. For a late night snack, we stop at House of Pies for some Pieeee. hmmmm. I loooove Pieeee, don't you? After that, I take her to my love shack and impress her with my memorization of 9/11 blackbox transcripts. That's when she buzzed me. Damn! Why did I ruin the love play with something morbid and unfunny like 9/11 transcripts?
RockHEAD and heypee are both right. All tickets are sold out, but I can come up with two only, one night only, for the cc.net poster who presents the most compelling argument. Tell me how stupid you are for not reserving before we sold out, tell me how bad you want to see the show, tell me what a great poster I am, how good looking I am and how you wish you were me and maybe, just maybe, I can come up with two tickets for the best response from my favorite bbs. And heypartner's lying. He WISHES he'd said that. In truth he just said something about taking Tamarie to Barkley's last game. He did, in fact, come up with tickets to that game for Tamarie and me, which was the first time I met the real, live heypartner in person. At any rate, he earned the distinction of being the only person so far to have stumped Tamarie with his dating game response. She had no idea how to respond. Time's ticking on this ticket contest. It's open til this time tomorrow. Blow me hard and maybe you'll get lucky...
outlaw, you ****ing fruitcake! Hey, he provoked me! And also I apologize... Can I still pitch for you guys? Contest still on. Despite my lefty leanings, I don't lean that far. "Blow me" was meant figuratively. My ladyfriend is fine but strong. And she will beat down any man or woman who tries to get a real taste of Batman Jones.
"My idea of the perfect date is going to Charles Barkley's last NBA Game." Inside joke, and not really appropriate for mass consumption, but screw it...that's the last time IBP will put me on stage in fear of public humiliation at the hands of the Great Tamarie Cooper. She held a straight face, thought a few seconds and said in her contestant role, "I had a lot a beers that night, so I don't remember much." I was on the verge of replying, "Damn, girls always respond to my perfect date by saying that." But chickened out, and they continued with contestand 2. Man those Lights are bright. You can't see a thing. I don't know how those actors can do it while basically looking at a black wall with laughter behind it.
What a selfish b****! Despite being gay, I'm not really into the theatre. The last play I saw was Angels in America, 7 or 8 years ago. Congratulations on your success with this production Batman. I will try to catch your next one.
Thanks, outlaw. Actually despite being a theater company, we have a relatively low gay population. Only two out of the forty people involved in this production. Not that there's anything wrong with it.... And if you're not into theater, all the more reason to come see one of our shows. We focus on theater for people who hate theater (like most of our people do). The next one is VERY hard core. Modern adaptation of a Greek tragedy, including onstage fellatio, masturbation, castration, suicide, murder, rape, etc. It is also very funny and very poetic. It's called Phaedra's Love, it stars Tamarie Cooper, and it opens Sept. 19. Call 713-522-8443 for tickets.
How much are front row seats? Well it's not so much that I hate theatre, I guess I'm just more of a movie kind of guy. Some of my favorite films are based on plays though: Jeffrey, The House of Yes, Psycho Beach Party and Hedwig & The Angry Inch.
Front row seats are just like the rest. We're general admission, but we only have 100 seats, so they're all good. Opening weekend tickets are only $5.99. After that, they're $10-15. And, as with all cc.net'ers, find me when you come to your first IBP play and your first drink's on me.
