A Decade of Fun
Posted by Bradford on April 12, 2011
Aw man,
The Ten Year Anniversary Show!!!! Where do I begin. I’ve been a proud member of Barrel of Monkeys since 2007, and if I had only one wish, it would be that I could have jumped on board even sooner. It was so cool having a change to meet monkeys from days gone by, see so many classic pieces for the first time , and take to the stage with a cast of thousands… well at least 38. Yeah! Mad props to Luke, I know it was more than a notion coming up with a run list from a decade worth of stories. If you weren’t able to make it out, you missed a good one baby. And in honor all things 10, here are 10 moments that will forever be etched in my mind:
1) Doing the largest and longest rounds of “Factory”, “Three Things”, and “Start the show”, I’ve ever done in my life.
2) Da Opener: with wave after wave of Monkeys hitting the stage
3) Hans’ call back in Kung-Fu Guys
4) “Bad Car” and “Trapped in the Hospital”
5) Halena doing da Film Strip
6) Miller coming out as Kool -Yummm
7) The Dog is Dead finale, and Erica asking all the Monkeys in the house to come up on stage and take a bow.
8) Uffelman doing a costume tribute to Sperling
9) GIANT CUT OUTS!!!
10) And of course the post show festivities are always a blast.
I could go on, and on and on, but ya get the idea. A good time was had by all. Can’t wait till the 20 year celebration. I’ll be full fledge, card carrying member of AARP by then, but you better believe I’ll be there with bells on.
