How to Be an Entertainer Workshop #1, Caritas, 05.24.06, Afternoon
[OOC: I'll be AFK at work for most of the day, so interaction will have to be just between you lovely people until later. It'll be okay! Workshop info post will be up ASAP.]
After the students made their way into the lounge at Caritas, the zombie band started playing "The Final Countdown" and GOB took the stage.
"Hi there. My name is GOB Bluth and I'm here to teach you how to be an entertainer. Over the next few weeks, you'll be trying your hand at ventriloquism, dancing, illusion, and today's topic, singing. We're in a karaoke bar. You should have seen this one coming."
"So today, we're focusing on music. You'll be getting on stage and doing two songs today. The first song should be something you like, the second should be something you hate. The second one is important because your manager is going to force you to do things you hate. This is a small example of that."
"If you're not in stage, you're on heckle duty. Yell at them, toughen them up. Remember, singers, it's nothing personal. I'm a fantastic illusionist and some people in the crowd are still jerks."
"I also want you to start thinking about your entrance music. Next week, you'll be telling the class what kind of music you want to introduce your arrival. You will live this music. Eat it, breathe it, change your ring tone to it. When people hear this music, they will think of you. In my experience, 80's music works best for this kind of stuff."
"Oh, and if anyone tries to use any of that Rob Thomas crap for anything in this class, the Zombie Band gets your brain. That's not a threat, it's a promise. If you need me, I'll be at the bar."

Re: The Stage [WS1]
"For my second song I'd like to sing about something that has never worked out for me in past for me or my friends. Sometimes it just leads to a breakup. Sometimes it leads to your girlfriend becoming the host of the nexus of all psionic energy which does, has, and ever will, exist in all realities of the multiverse and eventually killing herself on the blue side of the moon so her dark evil nature doesn't wipe out the universe."
You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
Ya just can't win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing's for sure
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Two by two and side by side
Love's gonna find you yes it is
Ya just can't hide
You'll hear it call
Your heart will fall
Then love will fly
It's gone that's all
I don't care what any Casanova thinks
All I can say is
Love stinks
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
I've been through diamonds
I've been through minks
I've been through it all
Love stinks
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks yeah yeah
Love stinks
