So as much fun as we’re going to have at camp, we also have a couple trips planned to attractions close to camp. Each of these will cost you a little extra money on top of your camp fee, but we think they are worth it! So where are we going you may ask?
Bristol Renaissance Faire
Welcome to one of the biggest Renaissance Faires in the US! There are dozens of shows through the day including music, comedy, and jousting, as well as village worth of shops including garb, food, alcohol, jewelry, and all sorts of fascinating shiny things. Costumes are highly encouraged!
You will be responsible for your own admission fee and the costs of any food and souvenirs.
Whose up for a little drinking? This Wisconsin establishment creates apple and pear based wines, ciders, perry, brandy and whiskey!
They offer tastings for $5 a person. You’re responsible for the cost of any additional liquor you may buy.
Adrian’s Frozen Custard
No, its not frozen pudding. Frozen Custard is a creamier cousin to ice cream and a regional food unique to Wisconsin. So of course I can’t have y’all come here without trying some for yourself! And every good Wisconsin girl knows that the best frozen custard comes from rando mom & pop places in little towns just like Adrian’s. You will be responsible for the cost of your own cone.
I had a dream set in Metrocity where Roxanne was living with her parents, but after an argument with them got kicked out/left. Megamind turned an upper corner of his lair into a (VERY sound-proofed) studio apartment and, as Bernard, “helped” Roxanne find this living area with a great view of the city, and affordable since it’s so off the beaten path.
She is Not Happy when she figures out why there are no neighbors.
I think it’s because he works at the Metro Man Museum. The books, I think, were something he was putting away; the cart he was pushing looks like a library cart. Probably the Museum has a collection of Metro Man books.
Metro Man’s main foe is Megamind, so the Metro Man Museum must have a good amount of information on Megamind. And Bernard, working there, would be expected to be knowledgable about all the exhibits. Since he’s an expert on Metro Man, Bernard would probably also be considered an expert on Megamind.
I also think it’s possible that when Roxanne says “you’re an expert on all things Megamind, right?” to ‘Bernard’, she’s talking him up to convince him to go along with her plan.
Bernard might consider himself an expert on Megamind–he clearly thinks he knows enough to recognize Megamind and Megamind’s technology. Really, though, he doesn’t recognize Megamind, or the de-gun!
This is part of the reason I think that published materials on Megamind–like the library books he and Roxanne read–aren’t really very accurate.
If Bernard, who could be expected to have studied Megamind (since he’s studied Metro Man) can’t even correctly identify Megamind and Megamind’s de-gun–well, how much does he really know about Megamind?
Honestly, I think that Roxanne, with her years of close interaction with Megamind, is probably more of an ‘expert on all things Megamind’ than Bernard.
It’s called Drop Dead Gorgeous, and the fic writer was called Maya! She’s since left fandom, and her fic isn’t available online anymore. But she told people beforehand that she was taking the fic down, and said they could download it if they wanted to keep it.
I’ve got a copy of it saved; if you’d like to give me your email address, I’ll send it to you!
LOLOL I’m not really very familiar with Captain Underpants, but I know @cicadian-rhythm is into both Captain Underpants and Megamind, and she might have some ideas about a crossover!
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
!!! AAAAHHHH I AM SO EXCITED!!
OKAY SO–
You may recall me talking about how I was working on a script for a musical theatre version of Megamind.
I am VERY PLEASED to announce that the script is COMPLETE and that it is going to be UNVEILED at Mega Camp, where we will be doing a READING of it!! The reading is happening Sunday night at 7:30pm!
Now, in order to make the reading as enjoyable as possible, I need your help!
During the reading, I need volunteers to help by playing the parts. A script reading is much more informal than an actual performance, so there’s no need to be nervous; the emphasis here is on having fun. It’s going to be more like a game rather than a show.
Each participant will get a script, and they will read their lines from the script during the reading as they act out their parts. So there’s no need to worry about memorization. The songs, too, are very simple; I wrote them so that they are easy to sing.
There are lots of parts–all of the characters from canon, plus some characters from the Doom Syndicate: Hot Flash, Lady Doppler, Psycho Delic, and Destruction Worker. Not to mention the brainbots and the random citizens!
I’m going to post all of the songs, so that you all can hear them ahead of time–everyone is invited to sing along with the chorus parts.
Again, do not feel worried about having any experience with acting, or about whether you’re “good” at singing–this is all about having fun! And if you’re shy, there is always a place for you as a citizen or in the brainbot swarm!
I’m going to be playing Megamind, but all of the other parts are open.
If you are interested in playing, please let me know, and I will send you the script, so that you can read it ahead of time and feel more comfortable.
I am really proud of this script, and I am so excited to share the musical theatre version of Megamind with you all!
