AHHH!! i'm back! *parties* had a blast! ^_^ the line was sooooo fabulous. ok... i'll... just start from the very beginning, even though renata and del have it totally covered in their blogs. but... oh well, i want to give my side of the story too ^_^
so, my mom and i get into town at like... 10:00 on thursday night, i call renata and discover that they're still in st louis... like, four hours away.. and i'm like "eh..." so i watch charlies angels on HBO and begin to attempt to make myself pretty for their arrival (because i want del and renata so bad, i had to be HOT! ^_~) so, then, they get there, and they're down in the lobby, so i come down the elevator (of our AWESOME hotel, which is like... RIGHT next to the theatre, like... it took thirty seconds to get from the line to my room.) and del and renata are hiding behind a giant flower arrangement right in front of the elevators, and we all celebrate and hug and such, and the night staff of the hotel laughes at us... then, we head out to the theatre to set up camp.
we get there, and begin a brief argument with a security gaurd about the fact that it's illegal to camp out in KC. but the theatre had like... gotten a permit the last two years that rent was in town... but this year, the security people were like "NO SLEEPING OUT!! RAAAAWR" and del's like "well, someone... called and... i think they said it was ok? and... the box office said...but i mean, i didn't call, but i think i know someone who did..." and i'm like "I called the box office, they said that we could camp out and it wouldn't be a problem. i was ASSURED that this would be ok..." so, she told her supervisor that it was ok, and all was good ^_^ (and no, i didn't actually call the box office. blaah) so we set up camp in our awesome fort (aka the handicap ramp) and party for about an hour, then renata passes out.. and del and i try to sleep for like... 10 minutes. so, we leave renata with all our stuff and start wandering around. now... i have this weird thing... that happens ALL the time. street lights go out when i walk under them. like, ALL the time. so i manage to somehow put out like... five different street lights, and del's freaking out... it was funny. we took all sort of pictures (like me pretending to get crushed by a falling light post thingy) and we looked at the carving things on the out side of the theatre... and there are three of them, and the one in the middle was this guy, sitting in a big throne thingy (these were all... grecian? roman?) and he's got a scroll in one hand, and an owl sitting on the arm of the chair... and he's got his hand up like he's gonna bitchslap the owl. so we laughed merrily and threatened to owlslap one another. heeehee.
then, we were all awake and hanging out and such.. and well, the sign on renata's birthday present from me said "happy birthday of doom" and del said it aloud and renata thought she said "happy birthday abdul!" and was like "who the hell's abdul?!" so then, this guy, jon, comes walking across the street to get in line, and we're all like "ABDUL'S HERE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" and we confused him horribly. but, it was all ok, because he gives really good backrubs. and kept me company whilst i trekked around getting food for people.
eventually more people started showing up, including this group of guys who were just GREAT. Boyd (whose name i only remember because he was on team doom.... more about team doom later...) and the other two who were SO fun. but... being that it's me, and i had been awake for about 22 hours when they got there, i forgot their names *sniffle*. so, i brought everyone mcdonalds (stupid mcdonalds didn't open til almost 7am, which was skanky...) and we eventually began playing cranium... and we all TOTALLY bonded. we were so into it. even though our team (TEAM DOOOOM) lost by like... tons... there were all these great questions that we missed, like... scrambled names of world leaders ("aaand, times up, answer is, 'nelson mandela'" "WHAT?! NOOOOO WAY." "pshaw he's not even a world leader anymore! is he?" "hrmph. i hate nelson mandela" (we also hate moss... and clouds. cirrus, stratus? nimbo something or another?!! wtf?!) and, there were these humdingers, where a team mate had to hum a song, and the rest of the team had to guess it... and boyd's getting ready to hum this song, and he hums TWO notes "hmmm HMMMM" and renata and i are immediatly like "WILD THING!!" and we totally got it right. ^_^ but then, we were doing a pictionary type question, and boyd was drawing, and we were guessing, and he's like... drawing people switching noses and i shout out "NOSE TRANSFER!" and he gave me this look like "what the hell?!" (it was plastic surgery, and we got it. goooo team doom!) then renata's mom brought cake and we all sang... oh, somewhere before we started playing cranium, ali got there, and dusty got there. i had just gotten back from mcdondalds when dusty got there, and i seriously looked at him straight on, and thirty seconds later i spun around and was like "DUUUUSTY! *glomp*" i heart dusty ^_^ *waves to dusty* aaaah, i went and took a shower at like... 7am (this was pre cranium as well...) and was super refreshed, but then around 11:00 i realized that i'd been awake for 26 hours, and i decided to take a nap. so i took like... a 40 minute nap... and something woke me up... but later, jon gave me backrub, and i just zonked out for liek, two hours.
aaaaah, then jesse and company got there (jesse, kinsey, kayla and henry? did i get them all right?) but the line was full, so we were all sad. but, the bought seats and all was good. i heart henry btw, he was SOOOO funny, and he reminded me of caleb. he was just sooooo amusing. and yay for jesse, she's been at the past three rent stops i've been at. so we've bonded ^_^ i totally didn't know she was coming, it was a happy surprise to see her though ^_^
ok, so show that night... i reviewed it, not NEARLY as throughly as i reviewed the saturday matinee (which was at 5:00... wtf, who has a matinee at five??) but, i'll post both those later, because... while they were SOOOOOO MUCH better than cedar falls (like, wow. cedar falls... i was like... "uh... welcome to the community theatre version of rent. bah." but they are SO improved, and david (mark) was so cute. del loves him to death, and while he WAS fabulous... i was still like "nyaaaah you have a goatee!" but really, VERY good. sooooo much better than drunkenmark of cedar falls. yeah. ^_^
next day we get in line around.... 5am, and we're behind about... 8 people? 5 of them were jesse and company (including dusty) and, i just SLEPT for like, five hours. it was SOOOO great. i really needed sleep. then abdul came back and hung out... and... stuff... and... i'm gonna just post this, and type the quotes, and maybe come back with reviews later tonight... but prolly tomorrrow sometime.
