Blood! Murder! Intrigue! Theatre!
-- Sunday, July 11, 2004 --

So there you are. Sitting at your computer. Gazing blankly at the screen. Eyes glazed over, mind turned to mystery meat, brain oozing out your ears. A fine way to spend your summer vacation. Well, close your mouth and wipe that drool off your chin, because the time has come for that annual venture into the great outdoors. Worry not! You won't be exposed to natural light for long enough to ruin that unhealthy pallor you've been cultivating in front of your PS2 all summer--just long enough to get to your car to drive out into the great blue, white, and asphalted wonder to see...

Sweeney Todd

From Wildwood Summer Theatre, the same people who brought you Chicago last year, comes a show with an even higher body count. Sweeney Todd is about a barber who cuts customer's throats and sends their body to the sausage lady downstairs, who bakes them into sausages and sells them to the unwary. A great show for vegans, vegetarians, the lactose intolerant, people of all dietary restrictions,

Sweeney Todd

will be playing at Quince Orchard High School on July 23, 24, 30, 31 and August 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m., with a 1:30 matinee on August 1. Tickets are $9 for adults, $7 for students and seniors. But Abby! You say. I live in civilized country! I've never seen a cow. I don't know where Quince Orchard is! Not to fret. 15800 Quince Orchard Rd. Gaithersburg, MD 20878 is the place, and Mapquest.com is the way to get there. But Abby! You cry. I am broke and without funds and thus will not be able to revel in your theatrical splendor. Well, I suggest you do one of two things: A) Rob a bank or B) Sell cheap drugs. But do it quickly, cause the curtain goes up in two weeks. I'll be running the lightboard, fellow Netslacker-in-arms Chris is doing sound and there are other Blair/Montgomery County high school people scattered throughout the production. For more information go to the WST homepage. For a nifty promotional poster go here. For up-to-the-minute news, traffic, and weather, go to CNN.com, cause we can't help you. But for everything else, from saving babies from runaway shopping carts to planning a trip into the Amazon to cheap and violent musical theatre, Wildwood is your place.

Meanwhile... KC, well-known netslackers personality and parttime superhero has succumbed to the world of webcomic addiction. He recomends this wackiness for your viewing pleasure. Here's what renowned reviewers have to say on the subject:

plaidgonzo: much like the book i am now reading, but without the militant feminist undertones
AND
plaidgonzo: i feel as though if i read more of this, i will become stupid
MJbites: i like 20
plaidgonzo: but we've already established that you're dumb

To be fair, it's actually fairly amusing. But this is better.

In other news... We have another reader! This illustrious fellow has this to say about netslackers:

SamTheMan1116: bangup job
SamTheMan1116: bangup job, indeed

Thanks, man. It's all for you.
