Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

We made it to the the R. Kelley Trapped in the Closet Sing Along. What a blast! Kristin has been so very excited about this. She showed up with a bag of props, including a pear, a deck of cards, a roll of toilet paper, and condoms. She seemed very upset that she was unable to locate cherries. I think she paid more attention when she saw it, because I honestly couldn’t remember exactly what any of the props were for. Most of this stuff was tossed around at crucial times during the video at Kristin’s command, "Throw it!"

We met up with Jon, Kristopher, and Jen at the Coolidge Corner Clubhouse (a place I’m not likely to go back to – undergrad sportsbar from hell!) across the street. Jen didn’t have a ticket, and the event was sold out, so we had to work the line to get her hooked up, but we did it! I’m sure she’s thrilled we did.

This event was transported from Austin, and they actually flew the host up. He was a total trip! Seriously. He presented us with the question of the night, which was this…

Is R. Kelley a genius or a fucking retard?

We answered this question by taking a trip through R. Kelley’s musical past. The Trapped in the Closet episodes were separated by RK videos, and everyone was encouraged to get up and dance, and dance we did! Even hopped up on the stage. There were RK-style improvs from audience members, as well as several "Trapped" parodies, including South Park, Dave Chappelle, and a bad remake by an Austin high school student. The TITC chapters played with subtitles, and the audience sang along. We were encouraged to leave the theater using the phrase "hot mess." Everyone say it with me:

HOT MESS

The line that always sticks with me is:

What I’m about to tell you is so damn twisted / not only is a man in the cabinet, but the man / is a midget-midget-midget.

It was a really late night, and there are reports to write, so those of you who joined me, please add more.
