Stephen and I slept in a little today, allowing ourselves the freedom to get a good, solid lunch without worrying about packing. It was our last day on the University of Washington campus. We started out by polishing our found weapon scenes, and I took Danny's advice about acting crazy and applied it to our group.
I came up with the concept for our scene, which made me pretty proud. I'm not sure how I came up with it, but Meg and I were new to the neighborhood, and Rob and Zana invited us over for a welcoming meal. When we arrive, Rob says he's ready to take the steaks off the grill, and our faces fall. "Rob," I say. "Meg and I are vegetarians. Surely you're aware that meat ... is ... MURDER!" and thus begins the violence. Rob and I fight while Meg and Zana face off, and we switch briefly before switching back. Eventually, Zana seizes an opportunity to choke me from behind, at which point I bite her arm, realize what has happened, and panic, screaming, "Oh god, what have I done?!" before fleeing with Meg in tow.
It worked beautifully. As if the scene weren't funny enough already, Meg brought a bottle of wine to class today, saying we could offer it as a gift to Rob and Zana, and then snatch it off the table as we fled at the end. The other students loved it, and they laughed at all the bits we intended to be funny. A lot of the other skits went extremely well, both serious and silly, but I feel bad because Stephen got stuck with a really shitty group, and Dave tore into them when it came to review time.
After lunch we practiced on a makeshift live action stunt set, the kind they have in Universal Studios or Disneyworld, but it was a lot of sitting around mostly. We didn't end up leaving campus until 7 pm, which was exhaustingly boring. Stephen said he was going to take a shower as soon as we got back to the room, but he lied. I snagged the shower first, and managed to hitch a ride to Rob's birthday cookout with Caitlin and Cailin (spelling not guaranteed). A ton of people were there, and we all had an awesome time.
A few of us split off after an hour or so and went to check out downtown Seattle. We went to a club called the War Room, which was almost entirely populated by Asians. There was dancing and drinking, and Brock DDed us back to our hotels. When I upload the extremely low-quality fight scene and the fantastic demonstration Josh presented in the parking lot, I'll post them. Much love, ya'll.
