\nThis past weekend was full of waiting…inside Purgatory Lounge. We did a show on the 11th and 12th. Matt asked Robert and I to sing our duet both nights, so that was exciting! Robert had never sang before, but I knew he would match Lee Hazelwood the best, so I was very thankful he agreed to sing along with me! We did Nancy (Sinatra) and Lee’s Ladybird<\/i>. I absolutely ADORE that song.<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

me and Robert : Ladybird<\/p>\n

The first night, Robert’s “death” was a mining accident, and I threw myself into the mine shaft after hearing of his death.<\/p>\n

Marylyn drowned, but I have no idea what she sang<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

Alicia took out her own heart and sang a PJ Harvey song<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

Sam died of a miscarriage and sang “Terrible Angel” by CoCoRosie <\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

Corry did a halftime show as Death, himself<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

Lynsie wrote an original song about a parasite…it was SUCH a cute song! She did an awesome job!<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

Joey showed up as Satan and covered Eartha Kitt’s “Somebody Bad Stole De Wedding Bell” and it was SO funny!<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

The next night was…interesting. I did a small skit with Corry for a song Jon wrote. But when Robert and I sang again, I totally<\/i> cracked the whole first part and again towards the end. It was just like high school all over again. But this time, I was lucky to be able to hide behind the fact my character was on coke*…so I just kinda flailed about stage and we got through it ok. It was a lot more FUN then the night before, but the song sounded better on Saturday night. <\/p>\n

Our death on Sunday was so different. Matt called me earlier that day saying there was another gal who was going to have a wedding dress, and asked if I could come up with something else. We had no idea what to do, until I saw Robert in his red and black fancy suit. He looked like he walked right out of Twin Peaks, so we went with it. Apparently, we died after a coke induced hike had us looking for the Black Lodge…but we found Bob first. And instead of dying in the hands of Bob (shudder) we decided to throw ourselves off a cliff. lol.<\/p>\n

*note: I’ve never actually done cocaine before, so I’m not really sure how I would act. But I guessed it would make me somewhat hyper and I danced all around stage during the parts Robert sang. That probably had something to do with why I was cracking all of my notes haha. I’m uploading the video to vimeo, so I might share it in a bit.<\/p>\n

Beth was poisoned at a Mardi Gras ball, and I forgot what she sang :\/<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

Joey came back as the Devil!<\/p>\n

\"Purgatory<\/a><\/p>\n

Corry played the Mad Scientist and I played his wife during the skit while Jon sang. It was funny.<\/p>\n

…our camera died after this shot was taken, so I didn’t get the rest of Sunday’s performers.<\/p>\n
