THE NEED FOR SPEED...IN C-MAJOR

Finally, a musical meant to Take My Breath Away...

C-Major Maverick? Goose in G? Yessir, ladies and gentlemen, the New York Musical Festival proudly presents Toronto's newest show: Top Gun, the Musical. (Paging Rick Rossovich...)

It's the story of a writer, who crashed and burned with his previous musical, Apocalypse Wow, and needs to make his next musical a hit. Undoubtedly, he encounters all sorts of impediments and MACH-3 power ballads along the way.

(Fish is going to love this, I know. I'm not sure about whether or not there's a "Playing with the Boys" volleyball scene, but I can only hope for yes. And no, I don't think Tom Skerritt is involved.)

Anyone want to go? Most admissions are $15, but if you want to become a sponsor, several levels are available... more info here.

I'm such a fan of the idea of this festival that I think I'm going to become an "entry-level" sponsor. I so want to write a musical. Maybe I'll make that my 2005 project. Collaborators welcome, especially since I don't read or necessarily write music.

See you in the Dangerzone, kids!!

OMIGOD the volleyball scene was a daily watch in my dorm room freshman year. we had it pegged to the minute, and before each showing, my roommate and i would hit the halls yelling "minute 42!" "minute 56!" or whatever minute was the best at that time. but... that part... when slider does that thing... and val kilmer, let's just say that even his bad acting couldn't kill off my attraction to his killer bod. did i really just say "killer bod"? whatever, this is Top Gun we're talking about.

so i can definitely be hired as a fact-checker, especially for the steamy scenes. ;)
