May is Gong Show Appreciation Month (for me, anyway)
I am scared. Horrified. What am I getting myself into? My double dutch team, On the Double, is performing at two Gong Shows this month. Hey, if Oingo Boingo and Pee Wee Herman could do it on the original Gong Show, then so can we!
The first of our Gong Show performances will be The Stranger's Gong Show at Chop Suey this Friday, May 8 at 9pm for $5.
The second Gong Show we are performing at will be Zenzi Burlesque's Gong Show at Columbia City Theater in Columbia City Saturday, May 16. There are two show times for that one; 7:30pm and 9pm.
If you want to catch us tomorrow night in a less ridiculous atmosphere that is all ages (both Gong Shows are 21+), we'll be jumping at the Pioneer Square Art Walk at around 6:30pm.
If you come to either of the Gong Shows, please show us some love and help us not get gonged!
Anvil! The Story of Anvil: Now Playing at the Varsity
I must admit, I haven't seen Anvil! The Story of Anvil yet, but everyone who has seen this movie will not shut up about how good it is, so I feel I need to see the darn thing immediately. Also, as a bonus, it is playing at one of my favorite movie theaters in Seattle, the Varsity Theater, a theater known for its independent films and attractive employees.
Please imagine me gleefully shouting the next word in falsetto with rock hands:
Metal!!!
Thank you. See you at the movies this weekend.
