Play Night Deux (Jan 28, 2012)

This is the second of two play nights that we have had at our place. Since the pillar party, I started wanting to up the level of parties... I decided to plaster the walls with newspaper and abstract construction paper designs and then fill the room with charcoal and paint so that people could go nuts. Naturally, this ended up creating quite the mess, but it was worth it. I also put up giant black curtains in stage-like fashion, and draped black curtains over the doors as well to completely contain the experience within the room. Here's a video I took while people were painting/arriving.





The actual play night consisted of many different acts, ranging from people singing and playing guitar, to reenactments of Kids in the Hall skits, to choreographed dance, to poems, to just plain funny skits. There was everything. There were many amazing acts. My friend Robbie performed the "Great Dictator Speech" by Charlie Chaplin to Hans Zimmer's "Time." That was one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed. Amazing talent. My brother, Zack and I created a dance routine to Queen's "Don't Stop me Now" and Ty dressed up in drag and was the centerpiece for our dance. I was in my Bernhab character outfit for the night, and zack was just his babe self. We rocked it hard. Then, Zack, John an I recreated the "Beej (BJ) Fairy" skit from the kids in the hall but did our own spin on it...Basically it's about this fairy who flies around at night and blows husbands who can't get it from their wives. "It's part of a mans sense of pride." I had fairy wings, was topless and had a really funny brown wig that was messy with a part in the middle and shoulder length...so cheese. John was rocking the Becky character's wig from the first play night and Zack was rocking a fro. There were tons of acts and they were all amazing and well received. Everyone had an amazing time. My character for the night's name was Bernhab. He was a raging alcoholic/drug fiend who had just fled his home country and arrived at this party to rob it, but upon showing up, he decided to rock the party instead. My entrance consisted of me and my friends Crack Moo Moo (John), Roberto (Robbie) and Guillermo (Guillaume) strutting on stage with a gym bag full of coke (plastic bags filled with flour) to Knife Party's 15 minute "All Tracks Mix." The 3 of them were dressed in suits and were my ballin crew and basically just looked awesome and pretended to snort coke from the bag while I performed a 64 bar rap I had created about my adventure to Canada. The camera effed up at the actual performance but I heard that Bernhab's popularity has recently exploded and he's huge in the states right now....See for yourself. 



Naturally, the night descended into madness with everyone ending up covered in paint and dancing all night long. It was awesome. I took pictures of myself in the morning because I looked like the guy in the guy in the "Somebody I used to know" video....Here's the only surfaced video from the party of Ty, Zack and I performing our synchronized dance routine to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen, and a few pics from the night and Bernhab's promotional picture that was taken prior to the party.
