point break LIVE!
This weekend, JR and I went to see Point Break LIVE! – a theatrical version of the movie, where they pick Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves’ character) out of the audience, and that person reads their lines off cue cards, for a more realistic performance.
IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME. PERIOD.
I cannot believe I stumbled upon this from a live music mailing list at work. It was a 10 at 10 deal – $10 for the 10pm show. Regularly $25. It’s an amazing show for 25 bucks, much less 10!!! AND they serve beer? Hell, yeah.
We stopped at the bar on the way in and asked for water (we were intoxicated enough already), and the bartendress said they were out, but she could get us cokes. Fine with us. Then she says, “We ran out of bottled water during the first show – someone’s gone out to get some more.” …pause… She leans in and half whispers “Personally, I think it’s cottonmouth…” Yes!
The show was outright insane. People chanting along with all the great lines, deliciously over-the-top acting, merciless dousing of the audience…
It is imperative that you go. “This is your wake-up call!”

Yes, imperative that you go.
Two items that I thought of during the show:
1. Get a poncho
2. Reminded me of the halcyon days of MRSinus in Austin.
