Blobfest was wonderful! In attendance this year were Audra, Steve, Lisa, Rob and me. The doors to the Colonial opened at 7:00. The night started with the scream contest. Jonathan Haze who played Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors helped judge. After the scream contest, The Rivers Rockabilly Trio performed! Their first few songs were Eddie Cochran numbers and I could hardly contain myself! All I wanted to do was get up and dance but because it’s a theater, there really wasn’t any place to let loose. When they played Tequila, Audra and I stood up and did the Pee-Wee Herman dance.

I was certain everyone in the theater would join us. I turned around and the entire theater was seated, Audra and I were the only ones doing the Pee-Wee! We sat down as soon as the song finished. As it got close to 9:00, a trio of female singers joined The Rivers and they sang some Wanda Jackson songs. Creighton from Ghoul a Go-Go came out and frugged. The set was rounded out by Purple People Eater and the theme song to the Blob!

Beware of the blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of the blob

It was right around 9:00 when Dr. Frank N. Stone brought Jonathan Haze a blueberry pie. As one might expect, Jonathan Haze (probably channeling some of the energy of his cousin Buddy Rich) grabbed the pie and threw it at Dr. Frank N. Stone’s face! The buzzer sounded and we all stood up and ran out of the theater! Unfortunately, for the first time, a person took a necker. By the time we exited the theater, a circle had formed right in front of the Colonial. I ran over to see what the hub bub was about and saw a person laying on the ground. They had apparently tripped on the curb. I hope they are alright but even more, I hope they don’t sue! I would hate to think this might be the last Blobfest because someone tripped on the curb.

They ran out a couple more times but we only did it the first time. We got some Italian Water Ice and wandered around. I am so glad Lisa was with me because she pushed me over to Creighton and she took our picture! CREIGHTON AND DONNA!!!! I was beside myself in pure unadulterated happiness! Creighton came very close to breaking character. I told him he was one of my MySpace friends and I thanked him for commenting on my pictures. And just as he was about to break character, I said in a sing song voice, “Now bye bye, Creighton!” Creighton said, “Bye Bye, Arghhhh!!”

After Creighton, I got my picture taken with Jonathan Haze. He put his arm around me and grabbed my ass. Okay, the side of my ass. And he kinda rubbed it a little bit. I was really taken back by this little intimate moment we shared. I didn’t say anything and pretended it didn’t happen until he had moved on to another group of people and then I said, “Seymour Krelboyne grabbed my ass!!!” Audra said, “Celebrities! What do you expect?” True.

I had hoped we might find a place to grab some food but most everything seemed to be closed. We walked into a bar right next to The Colonial and sitting around the bar were old gay men. Audra had said it was a gay bar but I didn’t really think she meant it. Lisa thought it was hilarious and I could tell she really wanted to get a table but I could tell that Steve and Rob were not comfortable, so we left. Lisa said all the old gay men at the bar laughed at us as we left. We finally did find a place that was open. There was a sign on the door that said, “NO WEAPONS!” We went in and Lisa & I ordered a Yuengling. (It only cost 2.50!!!) The place was very very smokey and I quickly gulped my beer just so we could get out of the hell hole. Lisa just kept saying, “This is classic, CLASSIC!”

Today is the street festival and Forbidden Planet and It Came From Outer space will be shown. I plan on making it over there at some point.

I drink a quart of sake, smoke dynamite
I chase it with tobaccy and then shoot out the light
‘Cause I’m a Fujiyama Mama and I’m just about to blow my top!
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama!
And when I start you up, there aint nobody gonna make me stop!
