Our next show is tonight, Tuesday, Sept 12th at 10:15 p.m. Late for a weeknight? Perhaps. But the great thing about going to a late-night show is that the you have ample time to get a little loaded beforehand. Woooo!
As our review in Toronto's Eye Weekly said, 87% True captures "the embroidered and contradictory nature of both family and personal narrative." Rose was reminded of this quote after Saturday's show, which her brother James and his lovely friends attended. We were talking dogs after the show, as you do, and James and his friend Jess were telling the tragic, yet horribly hilarious story of how their friend was dog-sitting a fussy, fussy dog and the poor dog died.
"And then they put the dog in the freezer!" said James enthusiastically.
"Uh . . . noooo," said Jess.
"Yeah!" said James. "I remember you telling me! About the dog in the freezer."
"Yeah, that's not what happened."
"But . . .I have this image in my mind of this dog - with its legs sticking up, you know, in the freezer," James said, truly bewildered.
"Man, you've made up that part of the story for yourself," laughed Jess.
Just like in our SHOW!! Good times.
Slurpee count = 102 (Rose found the local 7-11)
I had just come from a family reunion when I saw your show, very real to life.
