Went to the Sing-a-long Sound of Music last night with Hannah, Sean, and Sarah. Here's the gist: You pay way too much money for a movie ticket, a cute guy with black-rimmed glasses gives you a bag of party favors, and you get to watch Christopher Plummer in awesome detail. Like a wholesome Rocky Horror, you shout innuendo at the screen and pull champagne poppers when the Captain and Maria first kiss. We hissed at the Countess and barked at Rolph. And a hundred Portlandians with affected vibratos sang along to "Climb Every Mountain." There was a costume contest. Apparently last night's entries were pretty tame (my favorite being Sister Nun of the Above); last week's winner was "Brown Paper Packages," a costume which involved a carboard mailer tube attached in a way that would have made Sister Margaretta blush.
