Star Wars Live!!
I’m a Star Wars dork. Not a full blown gonna-wear-a-costume-all-the-time sort of way, but I really like it. So last night we took a company field trip to see Star Wars Live. It is basically clips from the movies strung together with narrative by Anthony Daniels (voice of C-3PO) with a full orchestra playing from the scores of the 6 movies. It comes together to be pretty cool. They also have a full choir for a few of the pieces that was flat out amazing.
Anyway, the show was awesome, but you’re probably asking yourself, “Hey, did they mess with some of the super dorky costume crowd?” You bet we did. Here are the pics from last night.
We ran into some Jedi. Kunal felt the need to rock out with them. I felt like the little one needed a hug.
We ran into a couple of Han Solos. Larry Solo was pretty amazing. He had the steady calm of a Jerry Lewis, and the rogueish charm of Ben Afleck in Daredevil. I assumed that he’s probably pretty lonely in his personal life (just a random guess), so he got a hug too.
Here’s our other Han Solo. Let’s call him Enrique Solo. Enrique brought his whole family. The kid was an awesome Jango Fett (expect for his Go, Diego! backback). The wife, on the other hand, should probably retire the gold bikini.
We ran into some rebel pilots. Got the group shot and the obligatory MySpace self-shot. I wonder which one of them was supposed to be Porkins.
Now I can hear some of you saying, “Hey Steve, it’s not cool to tease the costume crowd. They need something to fill the hole that not dating leaves.” Allow me to rebut. We had three extra tickets from folks who couldn’t make it. Rather than find three hot chicks that had less good seats (sorry Kunal), we gave them to a dad and his two kids outside who couldn’t buy tickets to the sold out show. So I’m a lovely person and can poke fun at whoever I like. Hurray for karma being a zero sum game!!
