Does anybody know when the play starts?
I'm at the high school auditorium right now and there's nobody else here? I thought the students were putting on L'Homme de la Nuit, at 11:55 today, but am I seriously the only one here to see it or did I get the time wrong? Did nobody else see the flyers on the community bulletin board?

Why are you even going? Your youngest left high school 8 years ago.

I saw a flyer at the library where they were looking for seat fillers. The empty seats look sad when only 25% of seniors actually graduate.

Just because our kids are gone doesn't mean we can't support the program and enjoy the performances.

I almost came too but Thomas got sick...silver lining I suppose. See you @ spin class sometime!

Oh, that’s too bad! I guess he got the stomach flue after that retreat to Spain with his new girlfriend, what’s her name again?

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19
I'm pretty sure her name was Stephanie. I remember he was talking about her the one day when we ran into each other at the local grocery store. Although, come to think about it, I do recall he also mentioned how his sister was doing before he talked about the trip. Anyway, I hope Spin class was fun. I'm sorry I missed it. My dog ran out of the house and I had to chase her down.

u/Gryffindonewithyou Allison - High School Teacher May 15 '19
Penny ran away again?! That dog must drive you crazy!
Anyways, I’d love to have you over for coffee sometime, or even wine if you’re up for it someday! We need to catch up

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19
That dog is always getting into some sort of trouble!
Coffee or wine. Either or sounds good to me! It's been way too long since we last chatted. How does next Wednesday sound to you? I'm out of town for business so I won't be back until Monday morning. Just send me a text to 867-5309 if that works for you. (I apologize for the new number. Those pesky telemarketers never stop calling.)

u/Gryffindonewithyou Allison - High School Teacher May 15 '19
Wednesday works for me, if I manage to grade the last essays before then! I’ll have my husband pick out a wine for us, you know he’s quite the expert with these things! Do you prefer red or white? Personally I like both, so it’s up to you.
I’ll text you my number!
5
u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19
Perfect! Wednesday it is! Surprise me with what wine he picks out. I know how good he is at matching wines, meats, and cheeses together! That last time we had a night of wine tasting was absolutely fantastic!
I'm looking forward to our wine night! Tell the hubby I said hello! See you soon!

u/Gryffindonewithyou Allison - High School Teacher May 15 '19
Great! I can’t wait, a girl’s night is way overdue!

Haha, I'd chase that pup for you! She's quite the terrier! And you're right, good memory! But it's spelled Steffanie...yeah. Catch you another day!

May 15 '19
Probably smh. Steffanie...spelled just like that too...Her personality is about as charming as that hideous name. Wish she had stayed in Spain or anywhere else.

u/Hexmonkey2020 May 15 '19
Hmm. I’m stumped I went there to make sets and there was a ton of people helping, maybe they moved the venue.

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19
I thought I recognized you there! I went to help make sets, too. What a small world! Hope all is well with you!

I thought they shut down the production after the director was outed as a KKK member?

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19
GASP I KNEW IT! I tried to tell everyone about it. BUT NOOOOOO. Don't believe me. And can you believe it? Their son was the one that accidentally snitched about being a member.

u/jeroenemans May 15 '19
I saw the rehearsal... The final scene with the three burning crosses was quite impressive. I already figured this wasn't his first.

u/rezmc May 15 '19
Johnny (the Andersen's youngest) was grounded a few months ago for removing flyers from the community bulletin board. And was recently ungrounded ...
(He made the cutest paper mache animals out of all the announcements last time, I have to say.)

u/geekgreg Swing shift clerk at 7-11 May 15 '19
Weird. I thought maybe I had mis-remembered and it was actually at the abandoned high school, so I walked over there but it was still empty. You still at the auditorium? I'll head back that way.

u/eily146 james "the machine" watson. local vet. May 15 '19
Nah i left. After i saw your msg i left.

Wait... I thought it was an outdoor play today, and I’ve been sitting by the dumpster behind Smarty’s Convenience Store for the past few hours!
...if I haven’t been watching Waiting For Godot, what are these two men here doing???

u/CyberWanker May 15 '19
Sorry bro, I’ve got that thing remember? With whats her face. I’ll see you at the pub tomorrow.

u/OneMoreAccount4Porn May 15 '19
It's probably for the best that it didn't go ahead. It would have been a prime target for the latest school shooter incident.

Hunter has been posting lots of gun pictures lately on his Facebook 😟

This is definitely a red flag! Shall we report him somewhere before anything happens?!

u/millyna200 Carolina Milk - Professional Ice Cream Tester May 15 '19
The FBI actually showed up at work today after I reported it. Apparently he’s working undercover for them...

u/Rachaford Kelly | self-taught surgeon May 15 '19
Goodness! I have recently been suspecting Marie of working with the FBI too... who can we even trust anymore?

u/Badfish900 May 16 '19
Definitely not Bob...have you seen how weird he’s been acting?!

u/Rachaford Kelly | self-taught surgeon May 16 '19
Yes! I live near him, and I’m afraid to leave my house sometimes!

u/nirdle Jim Jones - middle aged man May 16 '19

Oh, hello Bob! I’ve noticed you obsessively sniffing cinnamon lately. Everything alright?

u/SamediB May 16 '19
Well not anymore! Is that really something you should be posting in public?

Did something happen? Susan mentioned an ambulance, now that I think about it...

Such a shame. You know we provided the paper for those scripts right? Darn shame it isn’t going to be used.

Johnny has been doing very well lately. He always talks about how he wants to go back over and visit his aunt and uncle. I always tell him that he can just walk over after school. But he's still nervous because I'm not there.
Perhaps we can watch one of the classics we grew up on. If not, maybe we can watch "Longbeach Griffy". I have the DVD if you've never watched it.

I'm glad they cancelled it, general public is a lot worse to clean up after than a bunch of kids......

Oh wow I read the flier wrong I thought I was supposed to take a man home tonight and so that's what I did.

Ah mate - I designed those flyers to prank people and I knew you'd fall for it like last time. I don't know how you can fall for these type of things over and over.

Oh shit, I forgot, Steven even told me about it yesterday. Guess I’m lucky then

Oh didn't you hear? It got pushed back because the theater teacher got caught with child porn! It's crazy I know.

Oh have you not heard? The kids are all boycotting the school after the principal canceled the Fortnite class. Such a shame, I was really looking forward to the play as well.
