Miss Julie

When i went to see Miss Julie this afternoon, I was surprised at what a fun experience it would be. When i walked in someone who seemed to know me shook my hand. I had to lean down under his biker hat to see that it was Wood from my multimedia story telling class. He asked me if I wanted to sit in the special seats. Not really knowing what I was signing up for he pointed me toward a row of seats behind the stage itself. I sat awkwardly for a bit. At first I was the only one sitting there before the show began so I felt a bit unconfortable sitting alone infront of all those people. One of the actresses from the play came and sat next to me and offered me a flower made of tissue and pipe cleaner. I accepted the flower and she asked me my name. I asked her her name and she told asked me what i would like her name to be. I laughed seeing that she was in character as a prostitute. I looked down at a  brown papper bag with the word "trash" stamped on it and came up with the name Trisha. She asked me if I had an old girlfriend named Trisha and I played along and said yes.

As the show began me and the others in the "special seats" where treated to some cotton candy. There was something a bit off about it. I was somewhat confused and a girl sitting next to me pointed at the Menu. I began to cough as I read that the cotton candy was harbenero flavovored. It was an odd combination but for some reason i couldn't stop eating. Sitting in the back was a bit frusturating at times since i could see or hear the actors very well at times. We where encouraged to take videos so i did. I started laughing when i saw an older woman fast asleep in the front row as the two women where rubbing and kissing eachother. I heared another older woman say rather loudly " this is redicilous." and "I'd like to leave." as well as complain about her knee. It was an interesting expereince watching the audience watch this wild play.
