Friends! In a real dickhead, conflict-of-interest move, I’m going to invite you to attend a theatrical event I’m currently in, Road House: The Play! Here’s why you should come:
1) It is a staged production of Patrick Swayze’s brilliant cult film Road House, which should be viewed by everyone on the planet in one form or another.
2) This particular staged version is particularly HILARIOUS—and stars some of Portland’s funniest people, including members of The Liberators, Sean McGrath, Courtenay Hameister, Michael Fetters, Fatboy Roberts and more! (Note that I did not include myself in this list of Portland’s funniest people. It’s that funny, ya’ll!)
3) I have a small—BUT EXTREMELY CRITICAL—role. So even if I suck, everything else is great.
4) Our previous run of Road House: The Play! sold out lickety-split. And this is the last time we’re doing it, I bet, which makes it YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SEE IT.
5) Did I say it was really funny? Well, it is. Ask the Blogtownies who caught it the first time around, if you don’t believe me.
Road House: The Play! is running this Thursday through Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday at the Someday Lounge and every performance starts at 7:30 pm. SO GET YOUR TICKETS, NOW, HERE!! What? You need more info? LOOK HERE!
Please tell me you are the sleazy club owner (who I believe was played by John Doe of X in the movie).
John Doe was the bartender, not the owner.
I attended the previous production of Road House: The Play. And Steve is under-selling the quality of the play. A++++ would see again (but actually won’t, or maybe I will. who knows?)
You should probably see it again – about 30% of all the jokes got enhanced/tweaked. It’s not like seeing a new play, but some of your favorite bits are better/funnier now.
Damn you are correctamundo Kiala!
I still hope that is who Steve is playing.
Go see this, blogballs. It’s fucking HILARIOUS! I want to see it again but I also don’t want to deprive some newbie of the pleasure.
It also produced my favorite phrase so far of 2010. I borrow it all the time. I don’t want to spoil it but it’s two words and involves a swift act on a particular body part.
I saw the first run, and I’m reasonably sure it made me a better person. Certainly a better golfer.
Steve is wonderful in this show, and the whole thing is super-rad and hilarious. I highly recommend you come see it. Also, I will be there and I will allow you to buy me a drink.

Load it to 8:05 and watch the glory. You know, if you aren’t busy.

It would be cool to finally have Courtenay Hameister do something funny.
Does she play the road or the house?
