Capricornucopia recap: Goats in Spaaaaaace!

[mousme]

I declare last night officially to have been a raging success.

A good number of the old guard didn't show up for various reasons, but some of them did, and a good number of new and reasonably new people showed up, and a fantastic time was had by all.

I will confess I was worried before it started. Almost no one RSVP'd, and some of the few who had RSVP'd were forced to cancel last-minute. So I kind of worried that people had simply lost interest. It has been seven years after all, and not everything lasts forever. Perhaps Capricornucopia had just run its course.

Boy, was I proven wrong.

tcaptain's play was first, A Wagon Load to the Stars, and the actors got so into it... they did a fantastic Star Trek shuffle, hammed it up, and had a great time, which essentially set the tone for the whole evening. I spent it howling with laughter at the other plays, and got a kick out of seeing mine performed as well, with flair and aplomb and a good amount of fun.

In short, it was fantastic. I think it might have been our best yet. We are pros at this now, and last night it showed in spades.

I got home past midnight after dropping tcaptain at home, and was so revved up I couldn't sleep until 02:00, and I'm paying for it now, but hoo boy was it worth it!

I'm so bummed that I couldn't go --- Jeff said it was so much fun and that the plays were great! I swear, if we end up sitter-less next time, I will simply have to drag the girls with us, bedtime be damned!

Congratulations!

Are you sure Jeff liked it? I distinctly remember him giving me several pained looks ("No more Mister Nice Gaius!"). ^_^

Don't be thinking that Capricornucopia is old hat. I always find myself looking forward to it months in advance.

I'm just sorry that neither Linda and I could make it this time, but circumstances just didn't permit. :-(

I'm not sure if I'm "old guard" or "reasonably new", but ti was indeed riotous from start to finish up on stage...

Considering I was in three of four plays, I laughed from curtain up to down, when I wasn't groaning from the horrible puns or the over-intake of foodstuffs.

*Huzzahs!!* and *Hoorays* to you all!!

PS Our evening was capped off by a long-distance phone call to someone's wife, who was looking for her husband, but ended up talking to a woman in another country... :-) Long story. The cell phone wouldn't flip. Ask sorceror...
