Judging from the audience, everybody. The sold out theater laughed at every joke, even if the joke was simply someone saying "shit". The audience consisted of 60 somethings and college students, and my wife and I. After the two and a half hour plus play ended, the cast almost immediately got a standing ovation.

I looked at the wife, asked "Wanna get out of here?", and she responded with "Let's". So although we enjoyed the play and it beats sitting around the house, it was average.

Smile: Got a killer parking space at the theater, on the house. We were out of the parking lot with five minutes after the play's end.

Smile-Man my Science teacher is funny, my friend texted me a converstation he had with her that I had too. Nutshell-
"I love apple, my two year old has a IPad!"
Me"why? I had to pay For my phone, and it was half off, while your two year old plays infinity blade on his 600$ iPad!"
Teach-"Well... He plays lots of educational games and he learns his ancs on it too..."
"Still not worth giving him a 600$ piece of tech..."
Teach- "Oh, shush. The bell already rang for dismissal so get out of here."

Frown: Tomorrow, everybody will be at the football game, so I won't have anybody to hang with. All my friends are band geeks. :roll: Also, I'm a bit annoyed with how a lot of newer music styles of looked into are skinhead influenced/ highly related to skinheads. I might end up looking like some kind of racist or something.
examples? just curious...

RateYourMusic.com does a good job of flagging albums if they contain Nazi/NSBM material - that's where I usually look.

Did you have your people contact his? He just doesn't seem like a man that would be easy to get a hold of.

Anyways congrats on getting the interview.

I contacted a company he is affiliated with to get a good working email address and then did the rest myself over email and the phone. Working on the podcast over the years has certainly given me a good education in how to get hold of people, how to make an interview seem worthwhile/interesting to participate in, etc. I'm an old pro at this point :lol:
