Location:
Durham, NC (DPAC)
Description of Event:
His Excellency of Weirdness and Nerd-dom - Weird Al - requested our presence at the Durham Performing Arts Center DPAC to a sold out capacity. We met in our designated dressing room, had rehearsals on stage with "Hawkeye" Weird Al's stage manager and then retired to the auditorium to await our call time. We were able to catch the first half of the show. Around 9:00 we departed to the dressing room to prep for the show. We lined up at the Stage Left door awaiting our mission. Escorted to the stage by Hawkeye, we were the encore back up for Al and the band, "dancing" to "We All Have Cell Phones" and "The Saga Begins". Following the show we met to entertain the VIP Fans as we awaited Al to arrive for photos with them. Once complete, we had a meet and greet with Al, took photos, and suited down and traveled home. It was a great audience, amazing show and our stage presence turned out as awesome as I expected. Non-501st Members may be cool - but they'll never be "Dancing on Stage with Weird Al dressed as a screen accurate Star Wars Villain to The Saga Begins Cool"...
