Desert Star - date.

My friend Will invited me to go to the Desert Star theater with him and his sister and brother-in-law last Friday night. Okay... of you all that read my blog, I want to know who has been here. It's in 4500 South in Salt Lake. I'm sorry to inform you all that I have no pictures of the evening... what a shame... but the memory will never be forgotten...

Pretty much this place does spoof's on plays, musicals, and movies. We saw Pirates of the Caribbean. Some things funny things like... Eliza Swine... Jack Sprat, the Pirate who could eat no fat... and a few other REALLY funny things. If you want to go on a fun date, go here. Seriously.

But then... when the pirates deal ended, there was an intermission before they did a few more spoofs on things which I will explain shortly... So... this pirate host in the picture comes out, and there was like 150 people pretty packed in this dining theater. And this pirate was like... "Do we have a Will Behunin and Jessica Muhlestein in the audience?" .......... My heart skipped a beat. WHAT. And Will raised his hand... so I hesitantly did too.. AND THIS HUGE SPOTLIGHT CAME ON US. Here's how the conversation went....

Pirate: Everyone, Will and Jessica are on their first date. (crowd starts cheering.)

Jessica: Actually... Second.. date...

Pirate: Oh really? Where did you go on your first date?

Will: Church History Museum
Pirate: WOW! YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE HER A CHANCE DID YOU?!

Will: ya... I highly recommend it.

Pirate: Oh, You're a funny one too, Will (I don't think he would have caught the LDS humor had he not been one). So How did you guys meet?

Jessica: High school. NO! Elementary.

Pirate: Will? What's your problem? Are you just a slow learner or what? The other day I had this horrible case of Muhlestein Behinin disease in my leg... I didn't know how to take care of it...

Jessica (breaking out in cold sweat, kind of can't stop laughing...)

Pirate: So how's your date going?

Jessica:... good...?

Pirate: Is there going to be another date?

Jessica: (look at Will)...yeah...?

Pirate: So Jessica, Hypothetically speaking, if Will were to walk you up to your porch tonight, and if he were to give you a kiss, how would you respond?

Jessica: (now I'm really laughing out of embarrassment.... looking down at the ground, shaking my head no...)

Pirate: Well we're going to ask you to do a little dance

Jessica: (head pops up abruptly- eyes get big, sympathetic nervous system starts going crazy... )NO!! NO. NO. NO. SORRY. NO. [crowd cheering Jessica on].........

Pirate: Yes, we're all going to sing you a sweetheart song, and if Will kisses you on the cheek at the end, you'll know that he wants another date. And if not, then you will slap him, and we will all really laugh really hard.

Will: (stands up... waiting for me... as crowd cheers me on...)

Jessica: (I stand up... and we start dancing... and I am SO EMBARRASSED).

Will: Kisses Jessica on the cheek at end of dance...

sit down. Wow. sweating. laughing. not really wanting to believe what just happened.

....

Will's sister set that up. HAHAHA. Wow. that was a good one...

Anyway, then there were other spoofs. There was one about Obama which had everyone laughing really hard. And one that I laughed at really hard was... 7 Brides for 1 Brother... and there was a picture of Tiger Woods with 7 girls behind him... and Tiger had 1 finger over his mouth saying "Shhhh!" HAHAHA.

Wow. That was a funny night.

So. If you are looking for a fun date idea... go here. you don't have to be embarrassed like I did though, unless you set it up for someone else as you are handing/buying your tickets!
