Another fine wingding thrown by Leia last night — DFWblogs Happy Hour III: The Wrath of Khan. Thanks to Leia’s skill at manipulating falling doubloons, I am the proud owner of four Chinese finger handcuffs, which will no doubt come in handy for those times I perform citizen’s arrests and some perp is threatening to use his free fingers to escape. Thanks to Erica‘s mouthing off, I know now that the mothers of singing waiters have only the highest of dreams for their offspring. Thanks to Matt, I now fear men with samurai swords and two-tone shoes in corporate parking lots.
Just like last month, the singalong was a highlight, although I think the absences from the choir hurt us on the more arpeggiated numbers. “Down By the Riverside” and “Goodnight Irene” were particularly strong, I thought, as were the “Bring Tha Noize”/”Theme from The Greatest American Hero”/”Oops…I Did It Again” medleys and the human beatbox rendition of “Head Like a Hole.”
