To add to my list of random adventures before leaving on the biggest I've ever attempted - I saw a musical last night in an old house that doubled as a bar and a theater.
When you first walk in, there is a stairway that leads up to a hallway lined in black trash bags. To your left is a family room that had been converted into a bar. Mermen hung from the walls, lit up like a stream of oceanic Christmas lights. A sign sat behind the bar that read GLOWIN' GUMMIES and boasted gummy bears soaked in 80 proof vodka. A very peppy man, shirtless and rocking jeans, cut off at the calf, ran behind the bar as he took orders and handed out cups of the glowing gummy bears. Obviously, I wanted a cup (or a few).
Once properly sloshed by copious amounts of gummy bear cups and fireball shots, a line had begun to form at the bottom of the dark staircase. I noticed an open door at the end of the hall and went to investigate instead of waiting for the line to file up the stairs. Outside of this tiny house was a wide, open backyard full of chairs and tables and various 'backyard' games strewn about, Corn Hole - for the Ohioans. (waves)
It was a fantastical place that I was glad to now know existed. And up the stair case I went to the Evil Dead Musical production!
To the left, bathrooms. To the right, oh to the right.. was a dimly-lit bedroom that had been converted into a playhouse. The sound box was to the upper left, sitting on a make-shift platform that I would have been terrified to sit on top of with all of that heavy equipment. To the right of the doorway sat three white benches in front of four tables toward the back of the room. I took the table nearest the far wall. I would later regret this.
The show began, funny jokes were told, then the first person lost their head - and I lost my shit. I was drenched in blood, as it squirt from the neck of one of the demons. Now, the group of people in white with goggles on made sense to me. I should have known. But this wasn't on the site anywhere! I was gleefully amazed at the sheer horror that was happening around me. This was fun.
Another awesome experience in the books! Now, to go cabrewing Monday before leaving on Wednesday!! :)
