I Have AIDS!

I don’t.
But, on Saturday I went to see the play at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre (http://www.artsexy.ca/) and it was quite something. Gavin Crawford (of This Hour Has 22 Minutes fame) was excellent in the “title” role, and David Yee as Vidor, his lover, was a great subtle counterpoint to Crawford’s sometimes abrasive performance. When my girlfriend talked to one of her coworkers who had seen the play earlier in the week, her description was, “It’s Offensive.” And it is. There’s a description of a certain sex act that I dare not recount. Trust me, you don’t wanna know. But at the same time, that shock and offense committed by the script and the actors is necessary to make this story truly effective. And affective. Funny, poignant, and important, this was a phenomenal night of theatre.
Also – went out to play kickball last night (http://torontokickball.com/) which I highly recommend. Pick-up games continue until the 13th of June, when league play starts. I’ll be forming a team, and it’ll be awesome.
