The future's so hideous...I gotta wear steampunk goggles

[kitchen_kink]

Coming up: the second and final weekend of 2010: Our Hideous Future: The Musical! See awesome special effects created with green gels and tin foil! Witness a fake-Matrix fight! See every sci-fi trope you know (and some you don't) mocked with love! See what's happened to my arms from many weeks of working out!!

Thursday night is half price; click this link to get 'em, or here for Friday or Saturday. Friday night's performance includes a canned foods drive for the Greater Boston Food Bank, and ticket proceeds go to Equality Now.

Evidence of opening weekend is in this amazing Flickr set, and this awesome Facebook album. Please to enjoy.




It's a near-futuristic dystopia!


I love you. Oh shit.


Sorry I'm such a bitch.


These are trick handcuffs, right??


If I make really cute bunny ears, will you let me go?


Rockin' out


Run away! Run away!


Okay fine, I love you again!

ok, stupid question time... how long does the show run? i'm trying to see if i've got time to see the show, and make it to my gig after (we don't start til 11:30 i think, so it's possible...)

[dietrich.livejournal.com]

Two hours, with a 15 minute intermission. We're generally done before *:30, where * is 2:30 from when we started. :)

[dietrich.livejournal.com]

Gah. By which I mean, 8pm shows tend to be done before 10:30.

So, was your costume explicitly designed after Tom Strong, or does it just work out that way? (And by 'that way' I mean 'fabulously'. :)

[dietrich.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it just worked out that way; I didn't know who Tom Strong was until I looked it up just now. (Reminds me of Venture Bros...) And my costumer didn't originally have red in mind, though I now realize I'm in the only one in the show wearing it, which is kind of cool.

And thank you. :)

You always look fantabulous, but nice job with the arms ;). What kind of workin' out have you been up to?

Also, I'm cursing the fact that I have to work; I really want to see this! I'll just have to pimp it to my Boston-area friends.

I've been doing Turbulence Training (http://www.turbulencetraining.com/), which is kind of awesome.

I'm sorry you can't make it!

Not reading the post yet to avoid spoilers - I may be able to go tomorrow (Friday). Is it likely to sell out, or do you think there will be tickets at the door?

[dietrich.livejournal.com]

Well, so, there's about 9 tickets left for Friday. Saturday's pretty open, though. Still, ordering in advance saves you quite a bit of scratch, so I'd consider it. :)

We couldn't go on Saturday. I was wondering how much flexbility we have to pin down whether we're going (and who's coming with us) until the last moment this evening. (buying tickets pre-emptively for someone who might not go costs more than paying the higher at-door price :)
But it sounds like a significant risk of selling out, so I just got a couple of tickets. Thanks!

Wanna go! Have sorted out weekend and emailed the Hawk to see if he wants to join me. Still tickets for Friday and Saturday? Do you have a recommendation of one vs. the other? These photos have whetted my appetite... wooo!

[dietrich.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, Saturday's more open than Friday at present, so more butts in seats for that night would be more than welcome!

[catling.livejournal.com]

Done! I have purchased one ticket for Saturday night. Yay! How is the parking near the theater?

[dietrich.livejournal.com]

It varies, depending on whether there's a sporting event or whatever. But on-street parking is generally gettable for free, after 6pm.
