Spontaneity is fun.

Okay, combination of stuff here. Wedding was fun, will be able to post more on it later. Some sample quotes:

"My brother of another mother." -Damian, on his best friend Amit

"We're drinking for Pam, actually, since she can't drink." -Mom
"I think a LOT of people are 'drinking for Pam' tonight." -Bruce

"I think by now you all think her name is 'my best friend Judi' since that's how my Mom always introduces her." -Damian

"Since this is German Village, I wanted to offer up a German prayer, but seeing as I don't know any German, I'm going with this one." -Pastor Nilsen

"The paparazzi are just terrible." -Vi
"Hey, you're getting copies of all the good shots." -Me

"I'm going to be known as that guy who was taking all the photos and stealing the flowers off the tables." -Chris

"When you look at me up there, just remember: I'm wearing a diaper." -Bruce

"We're the dark side of the family. It's wedding Goth." -Pam

"I haven't read over my reading yet." -Mom, shortly before the ceremony
"Well, YOU were a great choice." -Bruce

"You need to practice your 'come-hither' look up there." -Bruce
"I'll be looking at you when I read this." -Mom

"Pick up a couple dozen of those while you're at it." -Mom, snagging wedding programs

"This is the first wedding I've been to with its own logo." -Me

"Someday, Molly, the following will come to pass: you will be wrong." -Pastor Nilsen

"The hope is that, if this union bears children, they will not have trouble with their S's. 'Stassfurth' is a mouthful already." -Pastor Nilsen

"That WAS Andrew [your fiance], right?" -Me, when a guy rushed over to kiss one of the women at my table
"Oh, no, that's my other fiance! Hope they don't run into one another here!" -Kelly

"First the daughter, now the mother! I'm doing pretty good." -Damian, during the money dance

(If anyone reading this can supply more and/or correct me, please do *cough*Mom*cough* - I suspect I conked out during the most quote-worthy part of the evening.

So, anyway, proof that I am insane...

Got home and realized in a roundabout way that there were still tickets available for "The Boy From Oz" while Hugh Jackman was still doing it.

An hour and four phone calls later, I'd bought tickets for the 2 pm show on September 4th as well as train tickets up to NYC for Mom and me.

Yeah, I'm nuts, but I can always be spontaneous with Mom. :)

Many, many snickers in there - I particularly like Pastor Nilsen's two.

As for Hugh Jackman - I see nothing wrong with that at all. Heck, I've done worse :)

Oooh. Having just got back from New York from that very show:

1. If you don't have orchestra level seats, try to sneak down there at the beginning of the second act. Just...trust me on that one.

2. Stage door's on the far side of theater. Yes, he does sign autographs after the show.

Two days later, I'm still high from the experience. ^^



ETA: Heh. "OTOH" is acceptable spelling within LJ's spellcheck. Am most amused.

1. We're in the lower mezzanine, so I'll try. (That's where the audience participation bit comes in, right?)

2. How much of a crowd is there after the show by the stage door? (As in, if it's not too much of a mob I can talk Mom into it, and our train leaves at 6 that same day.)

Oh, and did you get my e-mail? Will be seeing the more sane of the gang going to Otakon on Friday, so I wanted to know what's up?

1. Yep, yep. You've got to get in close, though. Like first or second row.

2. It's not huge huge but big enough that you might want to sneak out during curtain calls to grab a good spot along the fence if you want autographs. Otherwise, if you're just looking for a good view, the far side of the car's fine.


And yeah, I did get the e-mail, just been very lazy in answering lately. I'll mail you out a little later this evening with full details as I know them.
