Muppet Night!

Wakka wakka wakka that was FUN!

Shilpa and I planned a surprise Muppet night for Kevin, with dinner and a viewing of The Great Muppet Caper. Shilpa had never seen it, and Kevin and I hadn't seen it since it came out. Freaking funny on soooo many levels. (I never noticed the cameos—and Diana Rigg in a starring role.)

We kept it a surprise for Kev, and even so, he showed up with a complete fancy-cocktail bar (he's a professional mixologist now, complete with imported violet liqueur) and Muppet t-shirt (the one I gave him a while back). Destiny!

What inspired this:



We followed the movie with some Muppet Show clips. The DVDs feature a pop-up trivia feature which is not to be missed.

As Sandy Duncan sang in the first season:
What's a nice girl like me doing in a place that never closes?
...Now would you tell me what a nice girl like me doing by the dance floor after hours? Pouring over rows of whiskey sours?

Imagine her in the Castro for two-for-ones...
