Last Friday, getting out of my box, tickets to "Demonika"
Clips on YouTube if you're so inclined, links not provided here. An event at the Distillery, and I pick up a ticket for the Nephew just in case he wants to come with me...
I show him clips online. He's not interested, surprisingly conservative for someone who professes such liberal vices...
I make it.
Completely. Out. Of. My. Box.
Post-Apocalyptic is the theme, a series of skits or vignettes on topics in the line of slave girls getting revenge upon overlord, various other S & M related themes, 4 hours in told but far less counting breaks, contests for best costume, underwear, etc, a S & M "Swing Party", as it were, hosted at a bar downtown. Sold Out.
500 Audience Members. Skits, lamely done with great gusto and elaborate costumes. 500 members in the Audience, 400+ of which are dressed in "appropriate" costumes, S & M gear, Mad-Max styled post-apocalyptic costumes, etc, etc, OVER THE TOP.
The skits, lame, what your child might perform in an underfunded high-school without the censure of a drama prof, still, there's a vitality, a devoted clique of followers, it's completely over the top but - for the first time in a long time, I'm completely outside of my box. Not a bad thing.
