Twas the Start of a Crappy Christmas
So here’s a look back at the first Crappy Christmas show of 2009, just 24 hours after it ended.
The night started off peacefully, in opposition to the theme of the evening, as DeeAnn and Robert were setting up the theater for what was to come. The projector was set up, the movie prepped, the concessions arranged, the Crappy Candy Canes carelessly dumped, the Crappy Christmas tree balanced in the mason jar, along with a “Do Not Fondle” warning sign, and a picture was taken with our crappy camera whose batteries were nearly dead (ack! Why don’t I check these things! But at least there was enough power for two pretty lousy quality pics…)
And then some people actually started to show up! And then more!! And then… a crappy polar bear (one of the “stars” of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians aka. MOBS advocate, Mandi), a Christmas tree (? maybe? aka, MOBS advocate, Mallin), and a Christmas dragon/lizard-thing (not exactly sure who was under that head – wait, there’s no dragon/lizard thing in the movie!). So far, this all seemed pretty much normal… (another pic from our Crappy camera follows):
But then, things got weird, as some kind of impromptu dragon/lizard performance occurred, while we were still selling tickets and candy
And then, after the “movie,” things ended the way they started. Sort of…
All in all, it was a great way to kick off the Crappy Christmas season! Now if we can get some Satan costumes (and maybe some Crappy Santas) at Santa vs. Satan… But if you missed Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, you might want to think twice about missing Santa vs. Satan on 12/27…
