I didn't take any jobs today, I met Ryan at the college for a game of tennis. I played horribly. I think we played three matches and I won three games out of twenty one. Just awful. It's so strange how some days can be completely different for no apparent reason.
To celebrate my poor performance we went to the Chinese buffet in Millville for lunch. Nothing like salty, fried food to make you feel better after losing eighteen games of tennis.
After getting a shower and looking over my Russian homework I went to class. I feel like I'm actually learning because I was able to answer a lot of things during class.
Chuck, Jordan and Katie picked me up at Rowan and we headed to Tower Theater for The Nightman Cometh!
They had some great posters outside for the actors/characters.
I really like this one for some reason.
The other two were nowhere to be found outside, just these three.
Green Man was all over the place though!
He was dancing around elusively but we caught him for a second.
We got in and to our seats in the balcony. It was a good view even from the top. There was a strange band that opened the show followed by the screening of a brand new episode from the new season, "The Gang Reignites the Rivalry." It was really funny and a nice treat since we were missing the season premiere.
The show started with the gang talking about the musical that Charlie wrote and played out pretty much verbatim like the episode. This was the view from our seats....
so I borrowed pictures from someone else. The play went on very similar to the episode but with extended scenes and some new songs. It played out really well on stage and was even more hilarious.
Mac did plenty of karate on stage and Dennis wore his Dayman jumpsuit.
Of course, the creator of the musical came out in the end to propose to the waitress, standing on a balcony above the stage this time. The crowd actually booed her when she said no... it was confusing. It had to be really funny since the actors who play those characters are actually married though.
After the awesome show we went to get falafel at Maoz. We got there just before the midnight rush.. I guess. There was a creepy guy offering to buy cheesesteaks for the girls that were already inside eating. He seemed really drunk.
It was a great day and the show was not a letdown at all. I came home and watched the premeire, which wasn't bad but the one we saw was better.
I went to school early to take photos for the basis of my website. I decided to use a Mac screen and post-its for the main screen and buttons. I like the way the photo came out. I spent some time setting up the site after that until it was time for class.
It was probably the most unproductive class yet in Art Since 1945. We went over some basic information about Pollock and DuChamp but we somehow managed to stray off topic every few minutes and never really got back on topic by the time the class was over.
In between classes I worked on the site some more and had some lunch. In Web, we critiqued for the entire class. I like the way my site ended up coming out. There are a few things I need to change or tweak but overall it's pretty good.
After class I went down to the gallery opening for Max Streicher's "Heavy Breathing, Sleeping Giants." People arrived slowly while we enjoyed the awesome food. They had little sandwiches, quiche, spinach bites and artichoke dip. They never have food that good.
After a while of people milling around and eating, there was a guest speaker to talk about the creation of large scale works like this one. The presentation was pretty interesting and amazing as it began to pour outside and thunder quite loudly.
I made my way through the rain to the High Street Gallery where Joanna and a few others were setting up their work at the time when the show was supposed to be starting.
It was a last minute setup and it didn't seem that a lot of people would be coming so they plan to have a closing. I got to check out some of the work that would be there as it went up.
I picked up Shannon and Katie and went to PYT in Philly for the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiere party.
We started off having some wine in a can. I had white while Shannon went with red. If you aren't familiar with the show, wine in a can is just one of the things they were having at the premiere that appeared on the show. We had a few beers inside and then went looking for flip cup.
The Flipadelphia tournament was going on outside, where this guy was pouring Riot Punch into the glasses and officiating the game. Riot Punch, which is just a combination of alcohol and not much more, is a bad idea to play this game with.
We played two games, winning the first and then losing the second... but then we joined in again shortly after for two more games which we won another one of! We were pretty good though and Katie and Shannon did some good chugging! Flip, Flip, Flipadelphia! Everyone was chanting that over and over and it never got old.
We went inside where we watched several episodes of It's Always Sunny on the bar TVs. It was a fun atmosphere to watch it in. The rest of the night at the bar got a little hairy and I'll leave the details out of it. We did have a really good time though.
We went back to Shannon's place for a while, where we had something to eat and watched some TV before sleeping briefly and then heading home.
