Second meeting

Today we had a meeting. Kab was the only person on time - in fact, I think he was early. I arrived at my house 5 minutes late, and Joel, arrived 20 minutes after that. But I had a good excuse - I was buying plywood at Hevenor's to build the keyboard prop, and I had to tie it to the roof of my dad''s Jeep. Now I know that I suck at tying plywood to a Jeep. It took forever, and then I had to hold on to it out the window the entire way home because it was loose.

Anyway...
Joel had done his homework with Andy, so we had a look at their script. Not bad. We added some stuff, most notably, MUSIC!! We're going to have music. If any of you know my father, imagine him. Any time somebody says something that is in a song, he sings the line of that song. (I have sort of inherited this odd habbit myself.) Anyway, that's what's going to happen in our story. We're going to have a lot of one-liners from popular songs play from speakers. A few songs we may use are:


"Milkshake" - Kelis
"I Want It That Way" - Backstreet Boys
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Rolling Stones
"Basket Case" - Green Day
"Bad Day" - Daniel Powter


We had a lot of fun finding songs to use.

We improved on Joel and Andy's script a lot. Now the Supervillain (Kab) has emotional problems, and tells his prisoner all about them. He used to work at a milkshake factory. He always dreamed of being a sandwich chef, but his goldfish died when he was eight, so he dropped out of school to take care of him and with no education, was forced to become a supervillain. And the prisoner hates mayonnaise.

At the end of the skit, we're all (superheroes, supervillains, and prisoner) going to become friends and sing a song together. So we need to write a song. Kab said something about working on that, but we can't really until after the plot is settled.

Kab wants to be on the team, and he is coming to the next meeting (December 16).

Blue mushroom containers from Super S (or maybe other places too) might work well for the keyboard keys. I don't think strawberries are in season. I bought one container of mushrooms (yuck!), and I'm experimenting with it.

Kris could be our sign? Supposedly, a team did that last year and got a lot of style points.

I can't think of anything else now. Bye.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE US ANY IDEAS ABOUT ANYTHING. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANY IDEAS GENERATED OUTSIDE THE TEAM.

Kris says he wants his superhero costume to be "army colored"..and his parents need someone to call them about time and place (I told them place but didn't know time)..they said he didn't make last meeting because they didn't know these details.
