Mice and men...

I went to tcaptain's bachelor party last night, and it was a blast. We spent the whole time at Hurley's.

There was a really neat band called Squidjigger there, comprising a guitar, a bass, and a guy who played the fiddle and the mandolin. They were a fun band, talented (and they had a bodhran!), and definitely responded to the energy of the crowd. They took our good-natured heckling in stride, gave back almost as much as they took, and did a hilarious cover of The Barenaked Ladies' "If I Had a Million Dollars" by re-writing the lyrics. I don't remember all of the new lyrics, but they included such gems as:

( Wacky lyrics behind cut )

and tcaptain. We got out a little past 02:00 and went to Kojax to sober up with some souvlaki. I was three sheets to the wind, which probably had something to do with the fact that I hadn't had anything to eat since noon and had four pints in about three hours. Oops. The souvlaki helped. We giggled, shared police-related anecdotes, and finally poured ourselves into taxis to go home.

So now I am mildly hungover. I think the fact that I drank lots and lots of water last night is the only reason I'm not currently in worse shape than I am. I have to figure out how the rest of my day is going to go, because it's obvious that all the errands I had planned are not going to happen at this point. It looks like rain, but if it holds off and this hangover gets vanquished by breakfast, Tylenol and coffee, then I may just spend the whole day in the garden. Laundry will happen, and groceries and cooking can happen tomorrow.

This deserves its own entry

So one of my trainers at the gym, Aaron, is a theatre guy. I didn't know this until yesterday. He acts and directs in the Montreal Shakespeare Theatre Company which does adaptations of Shakespeare for elementary and high schools.

More importantly, he and his other troupe are performing this year in Cobra: The Musical during the Montreal Fringe Festival. I'm definitely going to see this, even if I'm planning on giving the G.I. Joe movie a miss because it looks dreadful. Aaron plays Cobra Commander. :D

The dates are June 12, 14, 16, 20 and 21st (that one's a matinee). luvenditti's play is on June 12, so that's a no-go, but is anyone interested in any of the other days to go with me? Tickets are $11.00.

It's a small world! Bruce, the guy who played the Lion part of my Chimera at Capricornucopia, is also in Cobra: The Musical. I just saw him on the cast page.
