Hump With You In Spirit, Olympia
Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 2:59 PM
I was supposed to make the treck down to Olympia for the HUMP! screening tonight at the Capitol Theater. But I'm not going to be able to make it. Sorry about that, Oly. Lindy West is covering for me. Lindy will be hosting the screening and reading the rules—no phones in hands! no assholes in seats!—in my place. (Thanks, Lindy!) Tonight's screening is at 9:30 PM and there were twelve tickets still available last time I checked. (All remaining Seattle screenings are completely sold out!) Join Lindy and the whole Stranger crew at a HUMP! prefunc at Le Voyeur—food! tequila specials!—from 7-9PM.
Sorry I can't make it, Oly. Next year!

OK...I was there. It was packed! It started late, and that's okay. Lindy did a great job, but I could not believe the audacity of some of the people around me, telling her to hurry up, "get this over with" etc. These people have supposedly been to Hump before too, as I have. Would they have been such assholes if Dan was there? I don't know. But since one of the rules was "no disparaging remarks," when the assholes behind me made mean comments after Lindy was done, I turned around and reminded them NO DISPARAGING COMMENTS or I get to punch you TWICE. I don't know if Olympia deserves Hump next year.

Dan turns into a pumpkin if he crosses Seattle in anything other than a plane. A big, gooshy, rotting pumpkin.

I am so excited about tonight! Thanks so much for showing HUMP at the film fest. Wish you were here, but Lindy is an acceptable sub.

So glad HUMP! is coming to Oly this year, and I love Le Voyeur! Wish I could come down and say hi tonight, hopefully next year.
