2 Pounds of Firm Red Tomatoes, I love My Job!

The Jacob Two-Two / Rob Ford Concidence

The Funny Hooded Fang, according to a child in the front row at a wrestling match.

On Augest 25, 2012, Jacob Two-Two has wraped up his performances singing his famous line Two Pounds of Firm Red Tomatoes. 

On September 5, 2012, The Front page of the Toronto Sun read "I love My Job."  When I saw the front page, I thought about Avi Petliar (Jacob Two-Two) singing his first song of the show.

Rob Ford is facing the same Fate as Jacob Two-Two because he had to face a judge on September 5, 2012.  It may be no laughing manner like Jacob Two-Two's Charge of Insulting Behaviour to a Big Person.  This court may toss Mayor Rob Ford out of Office. 

On Friday September 7, 2012, Rob Ford has invited the entire city to his back yard for his annual Ford Family Fest.  Rob Ford may be expecting 5,000 People in is Weston Road back yard.

Happy 5th Anniversary of my sixth viewing of Evil Dead

September 4, 2012

5 years ago today, I watched Evil Dead The Musical for the sixth time before the show closed for the Christmas Holidays.  In the Meantime, a silly show opened for only months known as JEWTOPIA in the Diesel Playhouse. 

This is My Story:

After I promoted Evil Dead the Musical to death, a friend at Cherry Beach offered me a pair of free tickets to the show before it closed on September 8, 2007.  I had the opportunity to take my friend Irving to the show.  For this viewing, I got my favorite seat in the house, SZ 2 A Seat 6.

For this occasion, I wore my White Theatre by the Bay T-shirt to my first Free Viewing of Evil Dead the Musical.

This is what the inside of the Diesel Playhouse looked like on that memorable night during intermission.

My friend arrived at the show late because he had some work before and missed part of Act 1.  Latecomers were seated towards the back of the auditorium.

This was the outcome after the show for the sixth time and Irving's first time.  Both of us wore white Theatre By the Bay T-shirts for this occasion.  I got Splattered good at this viewing.  Cheryl, the cellar girl splashed me good because I starred at her face during the Do the Necronomicon Number.

A Splattered Deadite emerges from the Diesel Main Space.

Please take a moment to remember Evil Dead the Musical and the Diesel Playhouse.

I hope you had a happy Theatre By the Bay Season

September 1, 2012.

Great Stories well Told was the number 1 Theatre By the Bay Seasons to remember.  If you dreamed The Impossible Dream, took a trip to Herne's Oak, and set the captives free at Slimer's Island Children's Prison you were at the right place this summer.

Child Power Danced through the night and turned Wrong to Right all thanks to famed superheroes, Shapiro and O'Toole. 

The Child Power Heroes captured the Sly One, Mr. Fox and located the Children's Prison on Slimer's Island.  The Crocs in the water surrounding the prison compound were poisoned and maked with giant letters spelling "CHILD POWER."  That was the signal to pull the plug on the Fog Machine.

Jacob Two-Two wearing his golden cape and his Child Power T-shirt.  This was his reward for setting the captives free at Slimer's Island.  Fortunatly this was all a dream.

Arti the Octopus released her first single "When Things Go Bump" and she was the inventer of Frankenstein.

Director, Scott Hurst and some cast members of Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang.

I will wish you a happy and safe Labour Day Weekend, Back to Ghoul (School) for the kiddies in grade K - 12, Frosh Week for the College and University students.
