Day 88: The Turtles Wait for a Concert

Today the Turtles are waiting for a concert at Emo's in downtown Austin. I chose this location for a couple of reasons. First it's one of my favorite venues in Austin, but sadly it's closing in December to reopen in a new location. Second, we're going to a couple of shows there this week.

Tonight we're going to Andrew Jackson Jihad and tomorrow is mc chris. I've very excited about both of these shows so expect a post on them this week. Now, it's time to get ready to leave.

Day 87: Flying Jump Kick!

Today is another quick one. We relaxed today, but tomorrow is exciting because it's time for the Andrew Jackson Jihad show at Emo's. So I leave you with Raphael in a classic Ninja Turtle pose of a flying jump kick. You can tell he's going fast because of the speed lines.

Day 86: The Turtles Build a Set

I may have mentioned once or twice that my wife and our friend Shaun are in a stage adaptation of Night of the Living Dead this month. I may have also mentioned that I don't act and therefore will not be taking part in the show. Out of all of the shows that Weird City Theatre Company has put on I've only taken an active role in one. I was a stage hand and extra in Nosferatu two years ago and while I did enjoy it I don't plan on doing it again any time soon. I had theater nightmares and I wasn't even really on stage!

So, since I refuse to help on stage I offer my assistance whenever I can which is how I end up helping with set build and strike for every show my wife is in. I don't mind. If doing manual labor means I can be a part of the company without being actively involved in making sure a show runs smoothly then I'm more than happy to assist. Which brings me to my picture for the day. Today we started building the set for Night of the Living Dead in John's driveway. It didn't get quite finished, but I think most of the bigger parts, like building the walls, got done. Anyway, that's why I drew the Turtles building a set. They all seem to be doing pretty well except Michelangelo who smashed his thumb with a hammer. It happens I suppose.
