Hi everyone!

This is the last call for RSVP’s for tomorrow’s Pizza Dinner and Theater Outing. For details,
It’s been six years since the last time we put something like this together, but the time has come again for the LAFF Dinner and Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind Outing (hereafter referred to as TMLMTBGB)!

DINNER
WHAT: Pizza buffet! Ranalli’s will be providing salad, all we can eat pizza, beverages, and dessert in a separate seating area.
WHERE: Dinner will be at Ranalli’s of Andersonville (http://www.ranallispizza.com/), 1512 West Berwyn (between Clark and Ashland), Chicago, IL 60640
WHEN: 8 PM – 10 PM
HOW MUCH: $18.00, including tax and tip (if you are going to be sitting with us, you *must* pay for the meal). Takaza will be collecting money from folks as they arrive.

What the Heck Is It?

Dinner is a meal that is typically eaten in the evening…oh, that’s not what you’re asking about.

THEATER
WHAT: Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind: 30 Plays in 60 Minutes by the NeoFuturists (http://www.neofuturists.org/). See below for more info.
WHERE: The NeoFuturarium, 5153 N. Ashland (at Foster), two blocks from Ranalli’s of Andersonville
WHEN: Seating is first-come, first-serve, so we will be lining up at 10:15 PM or so for the 11:30 PM show. Come prepared to hang out, chat with friends, then enjoy a great show
HOW MUCH: $10 – $15 ($9 + roll of a six-sided die), cash only

RSVPs: Please RSVP directly to me at duncan@wolfhusky.org. Please let me know if you will be at the DINNER, the THEATER, or BOTH. RSVPs sent to LiveJournal and to the LAFF mailing list will be cheerfully ignored. A reminder: “I might be there” is not an RSVP. “I may be bringing three friends” is not a useful RSVP. These will be ignored.

Last time we did this we had a crowd of about 30 folks and everyone had a great time. I’m looking forward to another awesome night.

The NeoFuturists describe Too Much Light this way: “Too Much Light…, with its ever-changing “menu,” is an attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes. The single unifying element of these plays is that they are performed from a perspective of absolute honesty. We always appear as ourselves on stage, speaking directly from our personal experiences. Each short play is written by a performer, honed by the ensemble, and randomly collaged with twenty-nine other plays through high-energy audience participation. Each week, these plays shift as ensemble members add new plays to the existing body of work. Each night of performance, we create an unreproducable living newspaper collage of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, and the visceral and experimental.”

Having seen their performances many times, I can say be prepared for a night of unconventional theater, some crazy participatory stuff, some funny pieces, some plays to make you think.
