Point Break Live!

I think this weekend may be the last showing in SoCal as they’re heading out to Vegas for a while to hit the big time. So what? So if you’re within 100 miles of LA you gotta go. Seriously. I had a blast.
I don’t want to spoil the show which is a live rendition of the, uh, remarkable movie which starred Patrick Shwayze, Gary Busey and the inimitable Keanu Reeves. This show is so authentic that in order to “nail” Keanu’s performance, they recruit someone from the audience to play the part. Apparently no training or rehearsal is the best way to emulate this overlooked-by-the-academy-gem. Consequently, when I went it came down to me and another guy for Keanu’s part. I gotta say, I’m pretty relieved I didn’t make the cut.
Go, go, go. And buy the rain jacket they offer you at the door. Seriously.
PS I have a huge crush on the Cue Card Girl.
PPS Here’s Sal Masakela doing his best Johnny Utah.
