A friend got us tickets to see Avenue Q last Friday. It's a Tony award-winning musical about a recent college graduate and his neighbors' search for jobs, love and their purpose in life. Even Rob, who doesn't usually enjoy musicals, liked this one. The characters were a mix of puppets and people singing about adult themes. Kind of like Sesame Street meets South Park. Some of the more popular songs were, What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?, It Sucks to Be Me, Everyone's a Little Bit Racist, and The Internet Is for Porn.

The best characters were the Bad Idea Bears. They were two adorable but sinister bears that would pop up throughout the show and distract the main character from "finding his purpose" in life. My friend claims that he had Bad Idea Bears following him around during his entire college career.

Yeah, my Bad Idea Bears are named Tom and Fletcher.

Do the Bad Idea Bears carry a bottle of Rumplemitz around with them?
LOL! They ARE Bad Idea Bears.
I think Rob's Bad Idea Bears give him Rumplemintz and lip gloss. But at least they carry him home from the bar. :)
Wow, that sounds really funny! We can expect that show to make it up here in another 5094 years or so.
