Gwen's Corner

We decided to go with a Black and White Masquerade Ball for this one. :) There were so many neat costumes this time around, which you will certainly see as soon as the pictures are published. This anniversary was to mark our 4-year return to Ridgmar, even though we have been there longer than that, we still just say that it is 4 years to avoid confusion. And, the weekend before Thanksgiving is an easy thing to remember for most of us fat Bastards, who like food very much.

Here was the lineup:

Frank : Fish
Janet : Halo
Brad : Mr. Saturn
Riff : Beau
Maggie : Emily
Columbia : Amy
Dr. Scott : Mike
Rocky : Sean
Eddie : Mary
Crim : Shannon
Spot A: Paul
Spot B : Ray
Board : Nuggett
Sound: Mike, Sean
Grip: Cody, Nuggett, Kirk, Sean
Props : Eris
Floorwalkers: Starman, Jason, Shannon, Cody
Pre-Show : Halo (Balls, ha)
Piccies : Donna
Transies of Doom: Ashley, Britt, Cory, Eris, JJ, KC, Marc, Meighan, Pete, Scott, and Wes

I just want to say thank you to all the Bastards that have been there for the rest of their fellows throughout the years. There are so many people that have come and gone, and moreso than not, I remember these people fondly. Dedication has been shown so much throughout the years on this cast and I really appreciate people putting up with us Bastards, and for my Bastards putting up with me. It is a rough thing to keep a cast like this fresh and fantastic week after week, you audience keep us entertained as much as we keep you entertained, and you keep us sane. Thank you so much for your support and your love and attention. We wouldn't have much if we didn't have you (yea like that Randy Travis song). Danny showed up, which was always a treat. Most of us were drunk the night before due to a rockin' Bastard Thanksgiving at Burke's (that's Halo's Dad, dontcha know, he's awesome people). It was awesome! You should all buy The Onion Movie. There were so many awful references there it was just wrong. It was still better than Teeth, but yea. I want the Zombie Sheep movie.

I really loved the outfits this time around. Some of them were just fantastic all the way around (I really loved Emily's, Amy's (Mrs. Lovette), and Halo's. :) Cory had some weird shorts and mask combo that probably should have been reserved for a men's strip club, and Fish was as gay as ever in his little buckled shoes. Donna said she was as dressed up as she could get, and Jason had the most fantastic mask EVER (Christoper Walken, bitches!!!!) and Nuggett was handsome as always. We got to see Asley's boobs several times, it was fantastic.

I really liked the music this go round too, Mike had some rockin song playing for creation scene that I had never heard before, I really dug it! Hip shakin music, oh yessss...where are you Katie, I misses you!!! And Boobi from Austin was here, yaaaay, but she didn't get to play, just yell and act like the special Mayyy tayyy teeeee indah weeeuhnd Nell she is. (Hint: If you have no clue, watch the movie "Nell" for some inspiration.)

Also of note, a co-worker of mine that is a complete asshold sent this site to me, I do think I pissed myself a little, you should go through some of it: www.failblog.org

There was lots of good things this show, other than kickline looking like ass and several screw ups during Time Warp. I usually attribute these things to being either hungover or drunk from the prior party, but I seriously wanted to beat Ray and Paul for fucking up the spots so bad, lol. (It's ok guys, the audience didn't notice, just me and a few other people, like the whole cast. I still love you thought. Paul, no more alcohol for you. Ray: I love your hair, did you sleep yet?)

Jessica: I heart you!

Whitey: Seriously you need to tell me, I will beat someone's ass!

All: Still failing calculus. Tards for breakfast, anyone? I want some strawberry poptarts.

We have LOTS AND LOTS of needy peeps that need stuff, like clothes and food. Our angel trees should be up this week, yay! They were supposed to be LAST week, but epic printer failure ensued, and we will say nothing further. If you have larger donations, I will be happy to pick them up, just email me and let me know!

Thanks for putting up with us for another year, Matt and the Tavern...we love you too, even though we don't say it a lot!

Love to all,

Madame Leah :)
