Re: Firearms, Red Meat, and Testosterone
Um... I'd go.
But I don't know if I'm invited.

Here's what I predict will ensue that night. Sorry I'm going to miss it:

I will go and shoot things but I will imagine that I am shooting puppies. I will go and eat meat but imagine that I am eating pussy. I will also go and see women but I will imagine they are naked.
Is that wrong?

My My.... what hath we wrought?
Theatre folks getting dramatic...I guess this shouldn't be a shocker, really.
Ok - Let me first address Andrea's concern seriously in that what I'm proposing here shouldn't take place the same weekend as LAFF and really has zero to do with women. No attempt to steal thunder implied or anything like that. In fact, it's a ways away, but I'm happy to volunteer on either Friday or Saturday night of LAFF. Take tickets, run lights, whatever. Having said that... I still think the guys can have an event that shouldn't hurt your feelings. If you still have an issue with this, let me know.
Ok... now for the rest of you people... I'm going to try and speak your language. I have prepared a dramatic interpretation of the the first 37 posts on this thread in chronological order. It's a lot of characters, so try and pay attention. Any likeness to real AIC members is in name or avatars only I assure you.
Setting: The AIC playground
Cast: Mike K, Kareem, Jeremy, Wes, Montana, Kaci, Asaf, Cody, Mo, Andrea, Miggy, Julie, Justin, Marc, Bill, Jastroch, Boyko
1.) Hoss stands with his gang of cool boys in one corner of the playground and proposes an event for the weekend of LAFF with guns, bbq, drinking and video games. Said event would be titled ‘Testosterfest’.
2.) Kareem, a member of the gang and standing nearby shifts a little with nervous excitement and seconds this immediately. He regrets that his enthusiasm might make him sound less macho.
3.) Jason, also in the cool boys, doesn’t need to work out such issues – and simply endorses it with a ‘hell yeah!’
4.) Kareem tries to recover status by pointing out there will be a very manly concert two days later
5.) Jeremy strokes his chin, where one day a beard will be, and quietly considers the new possibilities for eating meat
6.) The teacher’s pet, Wes, overhears the conversation and tries to include himself by noting "my dad has a gun!"
7.) The cool boys try and ignore Wes by bantering on logistics for the event.
8.) Wes doesn’t leave immediately so they banter some more.
9.) A wide-eyed Asaf, who’s new to the school and has been following Wes everywhere voices the wonderment of perhaps having testosterfest in Disneyworld! Now all the playground is interested and draws closer.
10.) Montana, who has been to Disneyworld, tells Asaf he doesn’t know what he’s missing. There's animals and games galore.
11.) Kaci points out that Disneyworld also has fudge! Implied in this statement, but understood by all the kids, is that Asaf is very un-cool for not pointing this out immediately and will be hereby excluded to the far corner of the playground near Mo, the hall monitor.
12.) Miguel, a geeky kid that’s generally quiet, proclaims his manhood out of no where. Stunned, all of the kids look in the direction of the boy. Miggy challenges the organizers of testosterfest by proposing that it is moved to a different weekend and making it more stereotype neutral, but still fun!
13.) Now this was too much for little Kaci, who believes from something in this speech that she has found a fellow LOTR dork and, the excitement just too much to bear, she blurts out her secret. There’s a pregnant pause and left unsaid in the hush is that this revelation will now banish her with Julie, who also likes LOTR, and the new kid, Asaf, to the uncool corner of the playground. She bows her head and starts to walk in that direction.
14.) The attention now returned to Miguel, Justin walks over and seeks to reassure him that his guy-ness is secure. In the back of his head, he knows Miggy’s secret (( http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=miggy(definition 2)) but he prefers to keep that as a private joke to lord over him later.
15.) Cody, the playground bully who isn’t associated with Hoss’ group of cool boys, expresses his dilemma on which of the uncool kids to beat up now – Julie, Asaf or Kaci.
15.) Mo, the hall monitor walks up to Cody and tells him that a more creative outlet for his aggression would be to stage historical plays that demonstrate insensitivity to Hispanics. She says this loud enough so that Miguel and the cool boys can hear her sly double entendre that they’re all actually discriminatory bastards. Self assured, she goes back to writing her contemporary play that demonstrates insensitivity to cool boys.
16.) Julie goes “heeâ€

Gondor....not Gandor...or did you mean Gandolf?....um...oops...Color me outed.
Seriously, very cute Migs, but you left out the part about Dav eating puppies and shooting pussy...or was it the other way around. I was too geeked out at thinking of the AIC members all naked.....Naked........
So folks, let there be peas on earth and let them begin with me. I love peas, I have this awesome recipe for smashed peas and sour cream. Its reaaaaaalllllly good. And lets make all our shows great as well as LAFF a huge success with lots of money and audience and media who then can see all of the AIC being super cool and sexy and who will then come attend shows and see OoB and Wafflefest and give us money and love.
Ok?
"Love each other, babies", as my drama teacher used to say.
