Raunchy puppets
From Alesia, still shaking her head
Just when you think your sides can't hurt any more, you have a scene of raunchy puppets singing a song about the joy of internet porn.
I'm so not kidding.
I went to see AVENUE Q last night with some friends and laughed myself silly. It didn't win a Tony for no reason, let me just say. (Okay, and I can admit I was a little concerned that they wanted to see this and I only get away from the kids and Disney movies a few times a year, but hey, puppets, okay).
Boy, was I not getting the concept.
Because, really? A show that can make you howl with laughter about a song titled IT SUCKS TO BE ME is a winner.
Did I mention the puppet sex? This is SO not Sesame Street.
And, okay, a raunchy puppete show that can end with a great theme - no matter how much life sucks at any given moment, it's all TEMPORARY.
AND GUESS WHAT??? It's snowing here in NY!! HUGE, fluffy snowflakes!! The first time I've seen actual snow in about FOUR YEARS!!!
Happy weekend!
hugs,
Alesia

Do you really like snow that much? I dread it.

Sounds like the "A.Q." got to you just in time. I have been trying to put a girl's trip together with this show as one of my "things to do." Everybody I know is afraid of the snow, save me. Alas, I fear it will be gone before I make the trip. Both the show and the snow. So I thank you for this post, and my vicarious enjoyment of your night out.
Let's hear it for the puppets!

I LOVED Avenue Q! Get the CD - it's still making me laugh out loud a year later.

It was SO wonderful!! It's going to take me 8 days to make up for being gone for 4, but it was SO worth it!
