Transperformance was last night and as always it was a lot of fun. Even if there are some acts that are duds, you can take the time to go get some ice cream or fuck around backstage. This year's theme was Southern-Fried. Some highlights:

The flock of geese flying over the audience at a key moment in the Glen Campbell/Kenny Rogers performance of Witchita Lineman

The almost eerie transformation of Henning into Tom Petty

The definitely eerie but cool transformation of Lisa into Johnny Cash

The hilariously accurate rendition of Michael Stipe's dancing by Dennis and Philip

All of the little kids dancing and running around and having secret meetings in the little grove of trees next to the stage

Drunk Stuntmen as Lynyrd Skynyrd, a match made in rock heaven and the show-stopper of the evening

Ana with the best line of the night: When told that a young aquaintance was excited to see Chris from Fountains of Wayne (who didn't make it, unbeknownst to the audience), set off to tell her about it, saying "Let's go crush some dreams!"

The little 5-year-old girl dancing on the edge of the stage to "Shake Your Booty," her awesome moves putting all of the grownups to shame

What was not so great? The reported diva-like behavior of one of the acts. It's a benefit, not a competition; you don't need to be a jackass. And the last act kept playing and playing for over half an hour past the end time for the show, going so far as to repeat their first song, apparently in some compulsive need to just keep playing. But even that was more bizarre than bad.

Thanks to everyone who played! Maybe I'll create some onstage role for myself next year, like I did last year (backup singer for William Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds").
