Oh my God, Buffy Sing-Along was WAY TOO AWESOME. Like, I think it HURT me a little with its amazingness. ( We got to the theater around 11:40. ) The theater was huge, and ornate, and just PERFECT for Once More With Feeling. It was also jam-packed: I think it must have sold out, and there were, like, a thousand seats at least. I'm totally going back there for Rocky Horror Picture Show next time they have it.
They warmed us up with some Buffy-oke, which involved people from the audience getting up and acting out scenes from Buffy. The second one was a bit from Dopplegangland, ( where evil!Willow is macking on fuzzy!Willow. ) When they asked the audience if anyone there had never seen Buffy? TWO people raised their hands. Sorry, guys! That must have been kind of weird for you two. But we'll all totally lend you our DVDs.
During the show itself, the energy in the room was just FANTASTIC. They projected the words on the screen during the songs, so absolutely EVERYONE was singing along (minus the guy next to me, who was blank-faced through the whole thing. ( What's the deal, guy next to me? ) There honestly wasn't that much RHPS style participation, if only because there wasn't time, but we did get little champagne poppers to pop for Tara's "You make me com-plete, you make me com-"
After the show, we were making our way home (stepping around two piles of vomit. Guys, when you puke in the street, please can you aim for the gutter?) when Meela called halt to go into CVS and buy a package of break-and-bake cookie dough and a bottle of milk. As we left the store, already eating, the counter dude goes, "Hey, aren't you supposed to cook that?" To which Meela literally said, "PSHAW." We are infinitely classy y'all.
Anyway, I think they're doing a tour this summer, and you guys, you have to go. NERD PARTY. I'll even give you their website (warning: myspace). January 19th and 20th they're in NYC! Doooo iiit.
