He nudges me.
“Dude, what. I’m watchin’ the trippy people,” I respond.
“It’s the girl, the hot one!”
“Hot girl? What!? Which one?”
“The one from Snatch Comedy. She’s right there!” He nods towards a tall Amazonian. She has brilliant green eyes that contrast with her mane of thick, dark brown hair. The eyeliner makes her eyes seem like twin lighthouses, flashing warnings of danger. I am in awe.
“Oh yea! She is hot.”
“Let’s talk to her.”
“Dude, we must.”
I return my attention to the crazy drummers and their hula-hooping friends. In this drunken mass of people anything will entertain, even a hippie that appears to have scalped except for one long braid. that is doing an adequate job at keeping a hula hoop from falling to the ground. I suppose the lights from the hoop that are keeping me in a trance. They are so colorful.
“Hey, are you from
“Yea… why?”
“I think we saw you at the Snatch Comedy show a few weeks ago.” She hesitates.
“No way! That’s fantastic which one did you see!”
Wow, she is very excitable, and taller than when she was when she was four feet away. “Well, we had the pleasure of seeing the hour-long, unscripted performance.”
“The beach one actually, you guys were hilarious.”
“Oh my god! That was the opening night! HAHA. You really enjoyed it? We were so nervous!”
“That’s funny, I could tell you guys were nervous at the beginning. No worries, it all worked out and actually turned out to be our favorite performance we’ve seen on the trip.”
“You noticed we were nervous? See that’s how you know it was real! We don’t bullshit ya! It really is unscripted!”
“Hey I have a really good idea for your next skit. You should do like a tourist theme, you know? Have some people act like tourists and the other natives, I bet there are a bunch of funny things you guys could come up with.”
Her jaw drops, she looks over to me and back to him. “That would make it scripted. We don’t do that.”
We all laugh. I think it was an embarrassed laugh. This made it more hilarious; I laughed harder.
“So what are you doing in
“Well my friend and I came to the festival thing to go to Jessica Lange’s acting workshop.”
“Ohhhh, you mean the FL-AHHH?”
“Hahahaha, Oh, yes, the FL-AHHH! Did you know there are other meanings to Fleadh?”
“No way, other than random festival thing, it means something else?”
“Yea!”
“Oh man, I think I have an idea.” He has no idea.
“So if you really like a girl, and want to get with her, you can say, “I really wanna fleadh that girl.””
“Is it the same as saying, “I really wanna shag that girl!”?”
“No because fleadh is a more polite term, you don’t want to talk about shagging in front of a girl you want to shag, or your mother for that matter. It’s just impolite.”
“I now have so much more appreciation for the fleadh.”
