My trip to Santaland.

Tonight, we went to see David Sedaris’ The Santaland Diaries. Here I am with the star of the show (okay, the only person in the show, if you must know), Bruce Nelson. He plays Krimpet the Elf who works in Santaland at Macy’s. My expectations were low. But this guy came out in a suit and tie and ended up like this – with a funny hat and candy cane striped tights. He was a riot. The play was funny and irreverent. And clever.
There were a few kids in the audience in this tiny theater. Bad call. It was so not appropriate for kids.
But I, for one, was happy for the laughs and the break from reality.

You are a cutie…I want your smile!
I wouldn’t dare take the Skippykids to anything with “Diaries” in the title unless it was followed by the name Anne Frank –
Makes you wonder…
i think i recall hearing something like a decade ago on NPR’s ‘Fresh Air’?
It was pretty hilarious then, neat that they made it into a play (it was a story read by the author)
I can’t even remember the last time I saw something funny entertainment-wise.
