Shooot her!!!!!

Perhaps my favorite thing I've done while in New York was this amazing play reconstructing one of the best movies ever made using cardboard and over-dramatic speeches. WHAM City, a theater troupe out of Baltimore performed their own rendition of Jurassic Park- half parody, half homage. Chris, Chris Burns, and I waited patiently on the floor of this Bushwick, Brooklyn space cross-legged and enjoying our cocktails for the show to begin. It was kind of a big creepy triangular shaped room with scary lighting and excitement in the air. The show was hilarious- they did all the good scenes, all the good lines and even put words to the theme song - yay! I am so happy to have found the words, here they are for you to memorize and sing along to :)

I thought that John Hammond and Ian Malcolm were played particular well and just enough over the top to be awesome. The paper mache T-rex was dazzling. As we said many times, this is the kind of things we're going to miss when we leave New York!
