The 12 Blogs of Christmas, Part 2:

Well, we headed down to visit Hans, Missy, and Siena on Friday in preparation for Saturday night's Christmas surprise. Our presents this year were dinner in Baltimore and tickets to some sort of secret event. Turns out it was a show called "One Man Star Wars Trilogy" - and it was hilarious! Charlie Ross, the actor responsible for the show, was tremendous, capturing the essence of all the Star Wars characters, in particular Luke Skywalker. He also did a killer Jabba the Hutt, believe it or not!

One of the highlights of the show was a pair of mid-sixties gentlemen who somehow ended up in the front row, even though they seemed to have neither an understanding of Star Wars nor a desire to be in the theater. In one scene featuring Darth Vader and some eerie, minimalist lighting, they snuck out, never to be seen again. When the lights came back on, in the middle of a line, Ross asked "Did those guys just leave??" They then became the subject of ridicule briefly between each of the three "movies." It was so funny. THANK YOU HANS AND MISSY!!

Other items of note: I very affordably added four more "Siouxsie and the Banshees" CDs to my growing collection, although the only way for you to know that I have finally, 18 years too late, discovered this group, is to be one of my friends on Facebook because I haven't mentioned it here. See - you are missing a lot if you haven't signed up on that other site.

Watched the first disc of the newest "Evening with Kevin Smith" DVD and found it to be a delight.

Very sleepy, so I'm going to go read some comix and drift to sleep. 5:20 AM comes awfully early, especially on Mondays.
