it was most excellent. first few games were elimination… then some defense… then one game of protect the VIP… or “president” in this case. i didn’t get any bruises at all!!! 
got hit in the face twice, 3x in the back (same game) and 3x in the thigh (same game). killed probably about 6 people. but 2x was josh. HA HA! i killeth marine man!!
after that we went to eat korean food. dudes ate a buncha fucking bbq meat. i ate some freaking dukgook cause fuck that.
after that took a precious precious shower.
after that went to anthony’s because he was having a gathering of sorts, as he has just bought a house. i got there at like 10pm and boo! just missed jake reeves. haven’t seen him in forever. liz and sebastian were there, though, as was dean, and we played some “soul calibre 2″ for a while. i was the reigning champion for a bit. i feel kinda bad when i am reigning champion. musta been like… 7x. haven’t seen anthony in forever, too, so that was cool. apparently tammy vu knows him too (and has known him since childhood?!) which is weird. crazy viets.
after that went to nicole’s goodbye shindig since she’s moving to liverpool. got there at 12 and that shit was winding down, too. i basically just talked to her for a good half hour. there was some 20 year high school reunion going on outside the back room where they had there private party. it was at some weird spit fire sports bar place. odd odd odd.
so sore. i was crawling down the stairs at .2 miles an hour until getting to the last few steps, then it is massive running because the legs are too pathetic to stop.
friday evening lenny and i went to teatro zinzanni. it was freaking great. and hysterical. there’s a lot of improv, lots of dudes in drag, and lots of audience participation. some notable things:
- the 3 old guys who played the “bad guys”… they were so old. yet they were doing like juggling with their feet and shit. it was mind-boggling. they were the fittest old men ever.
- there was also this really cute old man in a blue jacket who was sitting across the room from us… so cute so cute so cute.
- manchester, the main dude, was a guy wearing a shitload of drag. he’s originally from seattle (the rest of the cast was not). he would harass tons of the men in the audience. the first dude he harassed was there with his girlfriend. his name was brandon. he continued to harass brandon (fairly good-looking guy) throughout the rest of the show. one of the last guys he picked was matthew from bothell (i know this because every time he picked a guy he would ask the guy where he was from and then announce, “INTRODUCING SIR ____ FROM _____!” so it was “NOW INTRODUCING SIR BRANDON OF SNOHOMISH” and “NOW INTRODUCING SIR MATTEUS FROM BOTHELL” for example. anyway, mr. matteus was SO into it… too much so i’d say… i was a little embarrassed for him… but he got makeup put on him and wore a dress for a bit and he pretty much loved every moment of it. i ran into him as i was leaving the bathroom and gave him a pat and good job.
- ELI! i saw eli from across the freaking room because i happened to be looking at his table. it was totally weird. he was there for gf’s birthday.
- the ‘queen’ of the show was this lady who was like a female austin powers. frankly kinda scary. at some point she did this dance, though, and it was pretty awesome. she took a huge gulp of water and would dance to the beat of some techno-ish stuff and then spit out water on every beat. not sure where she stored all that water. craziness.
- there was a silverware guy who would go around and rearrange everyone’s silverware if it was out of place, and put it back in order. haha. didn’t talk. the woman he liked in this show was this lady (who i was convinced was a man but no, it’s really a lady) who would walk around pouring water into people’s glasses but she’d either only pour like 1/10th of an inch of water or fill the cup to its very brim. she didn’t say one word the whole time and only had a very stoic look on her face. they did this cool ladder / swing routine that involved a lot of us looking up her dress (she was wearing granny panties, though).
- there was also this lady that was like a lady zorro. her character was pretty lame but she was really fucking good. she basically just did all these tricks on a rope suspended from the ceiling. she was probably the best acrobat there and she was OLD which is the crazy part. i mean, not THAT old but relatively old. she musta been like 40. so that’s amazing. she was reaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllly good. at some point she sat down to a guy next to us when his gf/wife was gone and would feed him with her sword. lol. she left before the gf/wife came back ;0
- there were these two chinese guys who were completely out of place and totally random… they were good at what they did and very fit but as far as the storyline goes, they barely did shit. and wore a traditional chinese outfit at some point. odd. they were ‘two princes from a far away land’ or some shit.
- lenny got fed by the “chef” in kiddie ‘choo choo train’ fashion. hahahahah. we got an extra soup out of it ;0 i ate it.
