usernamenumberThe other day I got an email from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rubicantoto informing me that an australian musical comedy trio called Tripod would be performing in this neck of the woods in late January. His description of them, "wrong-continent Moxy Fruvous", had me curious. The youtube playlist of their performances, to which he linked me, had me intrigued, and the following description from the event site has me excited:
Part Flight of the Conchords and part Tenacious D, this three man musical comedy group is legendary in its native Australia -- they regularly play the Sydney Opera House and other massive palaces of high art. In residency here for two weeks, this world premiere performance will be the world's first glimpse of their latest opus: a musical theater work of exquisite sophistication and hilarity that delves deep into the terrifying, tantalizing, geektastic world of D&D. North Adams may never be the same.
Like that, only staged, and with puppets? ...umm, Yespls!
Tix are $15 ($10 for students) and the show is on Sat Jan 30th at 8pm at the MA Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams. This is about 3 hrs away from Bostonish, so I'm thinking a day trip: check out the museum (another $15/$10, though), then catch the show, then drag ourselves home at zomgithurts o'clock am.
Who's up for it? Details and tix here. I can do the usual thing of buying tickets in a block for whoever is interested and then y'all can pay me back.
EDIT Craaaaaaap! This conflicts with the High Noon larp at Brandeis, for which I'm already signed up! Tempted to drop a game for once, but trying to track down alternate dates instead.... =:(
EDIT II For the first time ever I've dropped a larp I was signed up for to do something else. But I contacted their agent and confirmed that this is the only performance they're doing in the US
