In case you hadn’t guessed it yet, I’ll admit it, I’m a closet nerd. Well I guess closet would imply that I don’t do anything uber embarrassing in public and the reality is most of what comes to me naturally and instinctively is uber embarrassing. Hell, my brother dines out every night on stories of, “You won’t believe what she’s done now….” I wouldn’t change that for the world, my friends. I love my uber geekiness and what I endearingly call my Emmisms. They are what makes me me.
Normally, these are what make me stick out like a sore thumb though. Or get my friends saying, “Oh dear God! What is she doing now?”. And this is exactly why I loved last nights Awesome 80s Prom so much!!!! Your inner geek was not only encouraged, it was celebrated!!!! Never have I felt so at home, as you can see from the photos:
Now I know, whether you admit it or not, that you secretly hide an inner geek too and would love to relive your Prom, where that inner geekiness was totally cool. So get out your Prom dress and call your old flame, because theres a second Prom tonight at the Alpen Club. And best of all, the night is a fundraiser for Fighting Chance Productions, so that they can continue to bring a little more ridiculousness into our life’s.
Love and smooches,
Emme xoxo

I had a terrific time. I think the actors were all great. I’ve been to interactive plays before and I like to play along. That’s the fun part for me. One thing I always think about is how exhausting it must be to have to stay in character, and intereact with an audience , sometimes on a one-on-one basis, who may or may not play along and make things easy. This company were really good with interacting with the audience and making you feel as though you were inside of the play, which is the goal of every interactive event.
I was there for the real 80s, of course. I thought it was a nice touch that, instead of having to sit across from my ex-girlfriend (who I was still in love with at the time) and watch her cuddling next to her new boyfriend (who was a douchebag, and possibly still is), I got to spend the evening with three extremely attractive companions. Thanks very much for the invitation, Emme. It was so much fun.

sorry i missed it emme you would have been a great prom date, but i do not think we would have ended up in a tacky water bed with a mirrored ceiling like my real prom… and Rob I am envious of you
Emme says
No harbored resentment for your first Prom now is their Rob? Just think, now you can send the douchebag in question a picture of you out with three beautiful women.
Emme says
Missed you too Stephen, but alas you are indeed correct….well at least, in that, Lori, Nina and I would not have ended up in a tacky water bed with a mirrored ceiling by the end of the night.
