Oh I need to see this.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

Wait, is anyone else wondering why Eisbar was initially searching for a "patrick swayze statue"?

― A Nairn (moretap), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:22 (twenty years ago) link

Why the fuck wouldn't you be searching for that??

― Allyzay, Friday, 9 January 2004 00:24 (twenty years ago) link

This looks AWESOME. Count me in.

WHY DID I LEAVE NEW YORK?!??!

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:27 (twenty years ago) link

Not the 17th!!! That is the night of Mission Of Burma.

Go on without me.

Did you notice to get the discount tickets you have to type in the discount code: MULLET.

― Carey (Carey), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:34 (twenty years ago) link

Can someone videotape and upload this?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 January 2004 01:13 (twenty years ago) link

Sure, if you pay for our tickets.

― Allyzay, Friday, 9 January 2004 01:15 (twenty years ago) link

Time for me to rob that bank.

I love this review snippet:

"Guarriello's fight choreography is impressively complex. In any given sequence, up to ten actors in harnesses and bungee cords are ricocheting off trampolines or making athletic head kicks at each other while breakaway tables shatter and fake vomit flies. It's like watching Jerry Bruckheimer go Off-Off Broadway. "

It is, indeed, my way or the highway.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 January 2004 01:15 (twenty years ago) link

What?

― TOMBOT, Friday, 9 January 2004 02:54 (twenty years ago) link

Oh sweet Lord that sounds fantastic.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 January 2004 03:06 (twenty years ago) link

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 9 January 2004 03:07 (twenty years ago) link

Who is bringing the mezcal?

― TOMBOT, Friday, 9 January 2004 03:14 (twenty years ago) link

Why do you hate fun all the damn time?

― Allyzay, Friday, 9 January 2004 04:07 (twenty years ago) link

let's decide upon a mutually acceptable date on which to go to this!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

My god.

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

Wait, I want to come too! I don't know who the actor dude is but I love mullet wigs!!

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:30 (twenty years ago) link

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

i'll go. maybe someone will turn this musical back into a movie, just like the producers. we will get to witness magic

― maura (maura), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:36 (twenty years ago) link

So are we actually going to do this? I guess it will take some planning if we all want to sit in the same section. What day are people leaning towards?

― o. nate (onate), Sunday, 11 January 2004 19:13 (twenty years ago) link

I AM GOING TO TURN GREEN WITH ENVY WHEN YOU ALL GO. *cries*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 11 January 2004 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

you know in Last Dragon Leroy's little brother called him a "chocolate covered yellow peril." Now he's a chocolate covered yellow-haired peril. I'm totally jealous of all y'all big city folks for having this.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 11 January 2004 19:19 (twenty years ago) link

so when will we pull this bitch off? i can wait till the 24th (so carey can go, if she wants to). lemme know, so i can begin planning, making calls, etc.!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 12 January 2004 22:26 (twenty years ago) link

if only nicholars could come in from michigan ... :-(

Seriously, if I had the time and money to go right now I'd be there in a heartbeat! This sounds fantastic.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 12 January 2004 22:38 (twenty years ago) link

I finally watched Roadhouse on tv over Xmas break. I suspect it was highly edited. I didn't even hear the "it's my way or the highway" line that, for obvious reasons, I was hoping for. So. This means I have to watch it again at some point, I guess.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 12 January 2004 23:13 (twenty years ago) link

The 24th sounds good to me.

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 01:31 (twenty years ago) link

Don't not go this weekend on my account.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:17 (twenty years ago) link

23rd or 24th sounds good - who's organizing?

― B61 (calstars), Friday, 16 January 2004 02:47 (twenty years ago) link

if everyone's OK wr2 this, the tentative date is next saturday, jan 24th. i will call the box-office this weekend re: availability of tix, etc., and will post details re same here.

bump

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 19 January 2004 20:13 (twenty years ago) link

I sat next to the guy who's playing Swayze's character in the Pink Teacup on Saturday night. The hair is real.

― hstencil, Monday, 19 January 2004 20:23 (twenty years ago) link

Did you tug on it gently?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 20:24 (twenty years ago) link

no, I didn't want to take part in further health violations in an already roach-infested restaurant.

― hstencil, Monday, 19 January 2004 20:26 (twenty years ago) link

Wise, really.

If you bastards don't go I renounce you forever.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 January 2004 04:04 (twenty years ago) link

I will go to this. But I can't this weekend.

I found this comment on the IMDB for the original:

(kevdoggy@hotmail.com)
Portland, OR

Date: 27 November 2003
Summary: Waitress, there's a tooth in my glass

Swazee makee me crazee with his philosophee punching wayzies! Dalton, do yer punchin' whilst bleach blonde Kelly Lynch cottons bunchin'. Sam Elliot says grizzled and grisled beef that's what's for dinner. Hey Kevin Tighe! No more career Emergency! for you! (for now!) Blues twanger Jeff Healy turn yer Angel Eyes away from the hate in Brad Wesley's Gazarrified heart! The polar bear on wheels may have put in the best performance here. John Doe, X marks the spot where you touched me as Pat McGurn, Wesley's nephew. Carrie Ann, Barmaid/Singer at Double Deuce, you better knock, knock on wooden acting. See the sex scene that launched the against-the-wall coitus craze of the 90s! If there were an Oscar for mullet count, and there should be, it would be Rowdy Herrington to the stage please.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 23 January 2004 04:17 (twenty years ago) link

i hope the musical has a polar bear on wheels, too/

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 23 January 2004 04:19 (twenty years ago) link

OTIS FUCKING WHEELER. Uh just had to do that.

How's this weekend for anyone/everyone?

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:12 (twenty years ago) link

i'm fine w/ it.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:12 (twenty years ago) link

Can't make it to the East Coast this weekend, but I will try to go to an actual roadhouse and get into some sh*t with the yokels.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:16 (twenty years ago) link

with a blond mullet wig?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:17 (twenty years ago) link

THIS isn't a wig! k?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:19 (twenty years ago) link

Spencer if you bring a chimp you could be Clint Eastwood!

Any day better this weekend than others? People are also discussing some sort of BBQ thingy on another thread.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:19 (twenty years ago) link

i think that saturday is the only weekend day on which this show plays.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:20 (twenty years ago) link

I might can go, still. If I can, I will try to refrain from cutting my hair, in honor of the baby mullet that I'm sporting. And if I go to this BBQ, I will try to bring some buffalo.

― Otis Fucking Wheeler, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 04:51 (twenty years ago) link

Check yr email my love.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 04:58 (twenty years ago) link

I will be away away away this weekend. But, someone try to touch the mullet for me.

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 06:21 (twenty years ago) link

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 29 January 2004 02:54 (twenty years ago) link
