Oh, We DARE You To Muppet With Us!
What better way to kick off Pride Weekend than with a parable about the gay recruitment agenda -- incidentally we hear David Bowie modeled his Goblin King performance after Johnny Depp -- and another one another one about Republican oilmen clashing with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon?
We'd like to thank Metrobloggist Zee, who yesterday informed us that Labyrinth was coming to town. Then we heard that this Friday and Saturday's midnight movie at the Egyptian is the equally muppetastic Dark Crystal. This represents some kind of harmonic convergence because the Northwest Film Forum's Friday and Saturday showings of Labyrinth are at 9pm -- perfect for a weekend muppet double-feature with a drinks intermission!
To commemorate such a special occasion, we're inviting our blogren to join us for Friday night's showings. We don't know how it'll go -- will hard Sloggers, Seattlesters, Metrobloggers, cheeky Weeklies, and CHSers mingle? Or will they arrive with their colors poking out of their laptop bags expecting to blumble? And what if Fnarf and Gomez show up?
Hopefully we'll have the chance to discuss subtext while stopping in at all the bars between 12th and Broadway between shows. That's our Julie McCoy-style plan anyway. Probably no one will bother and we'll spiral into nostalgic depression.
