41 Years Later….Spinal Tap II Is Finally Here!

Summary: We eat Vietnamese at Asia’s Finest at 6pm, followed by watching Spinal Tap II at Celebration Cinema at 8pm. A more verbose description follows:

As a high school student, I fell in love with the cult classic This Is Spinal Tap. For those of you who are unaware of the film, it is a “mockumentary” about a “washed up” British heavy metal band touring the US on the backbone of their new album “Smell The Glove”. The movie was groundbreaking as a form of parody comedy and featured early performances by Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey, Ed Begley Jr., and Fran Drescher, as well as more established actors including Angelica Huston, Howard Hessman, and David Letterman band director Paul Shaffer.

Now, 41 years later, most of the original cast have reformed to create Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (trailer). Illustrating the profound impact the original had on the musical community, musicians like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Garth Brooks, Questlove, Trisha Yearwood, and Metallica’s Lars Ulrich all contributed cameos to the sequel.

Tickets are not yet on sale, but as soon as they are I will buy a ticket, post my seat location, and then folks can buy a ticket wherever they see fit.

To prepare for the show, it seems fitting (and convenient) to have Vietnamese food at Asia’s Finest, which features some of the best pho in town!

I am down for Big Bottom, Sex Farm, and Stonehenge!! Are you?
