The Mime Strikes Back

The One Man Star Wars Trilogy was actually a great show. I would call it a must for all Star Wars fans, and thoroughly entertaining for anyone who (1) liked the original trilogy at all; or (2) enjoys fun, simple theater.

His combination of vocalizations, character impersonations, physical expression, and wry commentary do make for a good show. I would have personally preferred more smarm, and some more adult commentary, but that would have pushed his bit into Robot Chicken and Family Guy territory—which is probably where it best belongs.






Not to mention, this is very family fare. And, truthfully, fun for the whole family (which is why the humor is very much rated G).

And like any true Star Wars function, there will be fans in costume.

And as a family yet. Whatever keeps you together these days.

Afterward, Michael wanted to avoid the weekend Folsom factor so we eschewed SoMa and the Castro for a low key beverage at the Pilsner. Some guys left their six-month old chihuahua with us to watch for a moment while they went to the bar. Michael really wants his own. He is determined to get a tiny yappy gay dog like this.

He plans on naming it "Cliché."
