And so, guided to a ticket site that actually worked thanks to William Lopez, Gwen and I went up to Montreal this weekend to watch “The Simpsons In the Flesh.”
It was as entertaining as one could possibly have hoped. It was incredibly disconcerting to watch Nancy Cartwright open her mouth and Bart Simpson’s voice would come out, and every time a new character would leap out of someone’s throat, the audience would go nuts. Particularly entertaining was when an actor would essentially start talking to himself: Crusty the clown shouting at Homer, for instance, with Castellaneta barely seeming to expend the slightest effort in the change as he switched from one to the other.
We not only had a great time at the 4 PM but, when we found out they were doing a different episode for the 8 PM, we went to the box office and discovered–to our amazement–that there were some seats left. So we took in the second show as well.
Man, could you imagine them doing it as a special feature, or charity event or something, at the San Diego con? How cool would that be?
