6/4/06 12:52 pm - Umbilical Brothers
Yesterday night we went to see the Umbilical Brothers, in The Rehearsal. It was a really great show - very, very funny. The video camera stunts were awesome. If you get a chance to see this show, do. It's well worth it.
The guys came out after the show, and they were both really nice and chatty. They signed a few things for us, and we joked around a bit, and just generally had a nice time. There was a funny moment where Rowan and I unpinned two of their show posters from the pin-up board behind us, and then a guy nearby asked where I got the poster from, so I told him I just stole it off the wall, so he took one too! As he was taking one, Dave looked up and stopped mid-conversation with someone else and just yelled out, "They're stealing the posters!... That must be a good sign." The sudden outburst scared us a bit, but it was really funny. Then when we got up to the little signing table, I put out the poster for them, and Dave looked up and said, "Thief!" and so I promised I'd bring it back, and that I was only borrowing it. That poster now has a place on my bedroom wall, just above my bed. Yay!
To top off the night, we were sort of leaving, but after we came out of the toilets, the guys were still just hanging around near the little table and merchandise counter, and Rowan went and asked them for photos. They happily posed with us, and we got some ripper shots. Then we all got hugs from both of them. I got two from Dave! ("Can you... squeeze me?... Oh nah, harder" - That was..... interesting. Yes... Funny though!)
Overall, it was a great night. Rowan would like to add, "If you go to see the show, watch out for the threatening bears." I agree. Those bears sure were threatening. Although, they weren't actually bears. They were a possum and a wombat actually. But still...
We might post up some photos later.
Peace out!
