It’s Friday, I’m in Love

Remember when we were younger, and we’d start planning our Friday nights on Tuesday?
Remember those big plans, to go out to a club, or a concert, or a show, and find some hot member of the opposite sex, and take them home?
Yeah, me neither.
But now that we’re older, our Friday night plans usually go something like this:

  • heat up leftovers
  • start laundry
  • clean up kitchen
  • move laundry from washer to dryer
  • clean up living room
  • take burned dinner out of oven
  • curse at oven
  • order dinner
  • open bottle of wine, so it can “breathe” before dinner gets here
  • vaccuum family room
  • pour glass of wine while waiting
  • clean bathroom
  • pour second glass of wine
  • call boss, give him a piece of my mind
  • get into argument on internet
  • yell at delivery guy for taking two $#!ing hours to deliver my lasagna, which is now cold
  • pour third glass of wine
  • pour fourth glass of wine
  • fall into sad, nostalgic stupor watching Wacky Races on Boomerang
  • pass out ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H go to sleep

Sound familiar? Want to return to the days when we were crazy and free? The days when we’d actually go out on a Friday night, because, goddammit, we were young and free?
Hell yeah!!
Well, I’ve got something for you, chucky: If you live in or near Los Angeles, and you don’t know what to do for your Friday night, you can come and see me, Wil Wheaton, live and in person, on the J. Keith vanStraaten show!!
Tonight’s guests include Bruno Kirby, comedian John O’Donnell, and kickass band Blockage.
The show is always insanely fun, and I’d love to meet any WWDN readers who come over to see us.
We are at the ACME Comedy Theatre, and the show starts at 10 PM. There are only 6 shows this season, so time is already running out. You can get information on reservations and ticket prices from Keith’s website.
Now, if you’re not in or near Los Angeles, of you’re just afraid to leave the house without your Tinfoil Hat, I have another thing that you can do tonight: you can stay home, safe and secure, and watch my sister, Amy, on First Monday, tonight at 9PM on CBS.
Now how about that? Who else on the internet helps plan out your Friday night Social Calendar?
Nobody, that’s who.
Except for your old pal Uncle Willie, because he cares.

  1. Oh Wil! We’re coming to LA for Easter, but miss the show by a day! Woe is us! Thanks for the replacement Friday night suggestion – it’ll never be the same…

  6. ROFL! Alice rulez!!!
    And let me just say a big thank you for not having any really scary links today like
    John Ashcroft sings, WFS’ blog, or Squirrels singing about gonads and
    strife.

  7. LOL at the comments prior to this one! Anyway, I’m still in my “young and free” days and you know what I’m doing tonight?? NOTHING!! *sigh* Alas, my social calendar is free, so I will be watching your sister this evening Wil! Maybe the next time I swing to LA I’ll be able to see you. *marks that on her social calendar*

  8. I caught First Monday last week and actually liked the show. It doesn’t have the same intensity and smart writing as the West Wing, but it makes for an enjoyable hour of television. One Quesation though, who does Wil’s sister play on the show? Is she a regular or is she a guest on tonight’s episode. Please, no lame jokes. It;s Friday and I want to stay in a good mood. 😛

  9. I’d like to propose that Wil and crew buy themselves and old time circus caravan and roam North America, randomly entertaining whomever’s path they cross.
    Just make sure you stop in Toronto, we love theatre here (yeah, we Canucks spell ‘theater’ our own way). Except the Toronto Church of Scientology. They complained forever to city hall about the giant ‘Vagina Monologues’ sign on the theatre across the street from them. So finally the Vagina Monologues moved on… to be replaced by ‘Puppetry of the Penis’! I love it when everything works out.

  10. Hey! I’m older and my Friday nights are not like that.
    It’s usually a bottle of vodka, not wine.

  11. HA! Friday nights! that’s a joke. My Friday nights are spent collapsed on the floor after five days at a hell otherwise known as high school. Now Saturday nights, those are much different!

  12. C’mon Wil, you gotta tell us if your sister is just on for tonight’s First Monday or if she’s a regular!

  13. YAY! I’m braving the untamed jungle that is Hollywood and coming to the show tonight!
    And then I can say that THISONETIME,IMETWILWHEATONANDILAUGHEDANDSQUEAKEDANDIWENT WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

  14. So, uh, how long have you been video taping my Friday nights Wil?
    Anyway, I’m not in L.A. — you really should bring the show to Boston. However, bunches of my friends (who also read WWDN) are in L.A., so I’ll put on my pimpin’ hat for you and tell them to head on over.

  15. well, I won’t be coming tonight – but may try and catch the April 12th show. But, I’ll definitely check out Amy tonight.
    Break a leg tonight. I’m going home and taking a long nap (see my blog entry for today if you want to know why)
    Vickie
    p.s. My boyfriend’s back! Yay!

  16. You forgot:
    Give kids bath.
    Vacuum the cat.
    scrape bubble gum off kitchen floor
    Explain to kids why they are no longer allowed gum.
    Read bed time stories.
    Just as you are about to sit down with a decent book, stand up to cry of “Daddy…”
    Get glass of water for shouter.
    Vacuum cat again (what the hell, you need the exercise).
    Wash dishes that have accumulated since tuesday night (dammit, I’m not gonna let them stack up like this any more!)
    Go through fridge, throw out anything that is moldy, or may evolve a higher intelligence than your boss (thus the mold of course).
    Goddammit! Now there’s another stack of dishes! Kristallmighty! Am I the only one who does dishes around…ah fugeddaboutit.
    Go to bed.
    Get woken at three am by three year old who breaks three months of dry nights by trying to reproduce Noahic flood.
    Change sheets.
    Discover three year old sprawled out over your entires side of bed.
    Climb into childs bed, smelling faintly of pee (damm, you didn’t lysol the plastic sheet..get up and do it? Nah, just sleep with vague urinary references in dreams)
    Saturday should be fun.

  17. DAMN DAMN DAMN I’m GOing home tomorrow not today. Or I would go tonight. Why couldnt there be a show next friday. I’ll be home then. I guess I have to wait till May. AHHHH!! 🙁 Maybe I can go see a taping of Who’s line instead. LOL!!

  18. Actually, Wil, here’s the true test to see if you’re old. Are you going to need an afternoon nap to be able to stay up and do the show at 10 PM?

  21. You refer to afternoon naps as if they’re a bad thing, when in fact they’re one of life’s best simple pleasures.
    that and the wine

  22. jbay, noooooo way! I’d kill to have an afternoon nap. My boss usually has other plans for me though…

  24. Vickie,
    It’s Friday and your boyfriend’s home. You ought to be able to take off!
    Tell your boss I said it’s okay for you to go home

  25. People go out on Friday nights? hmmm maybe I should try that out one Friday night. Since I am far away from the LA area, I won’t get to see the show. If I can stay awake long enough, I will try to watch your sis!
    Can I go home too? Please?

  26. Are you ever going to come over to England
    I know its cold and its wet but it’s not that bad honest, and if you do come over don’t just go to London, there are some lovely places in England like Newcastle and Durham.
    Bill Bryers (comical book writer) said ‘If you’ve never been to Durham you should go its a beauty to behold. I’ll even give you my car’ or at least something along those lines.
    Lets start a petition to get wil in England

  27. olfandy jon – you know, if my co-worker hadn’t left town for a funeral, I would’ve taken today off. But, seeing as I have to cover both her job and mine while she’s gone, I can’t go home. I only got 5 hours left. Hopefully they’ll pass by quickly.
    But, I’ll tell my boss what you said. I’m sure, because you said so, that it’ll be ok with him. Thanks pal, I owe ya one!

  28. ya know, I think sometime in the 2 or so hours I did sleep last night someone put one of those hideous slug-like things from Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan in my ear and that’s why I have this ear ache.
    Dammit – I hate when that happens. Anyone got a phaser to kill this damn thing when it comes out?

  29. Naps? Naps? It’s 10:20 am… can I go ahead and take my afternoon nap now? After all, I was just reminded by a 19 year old that I *am* awfully old now… =sigh= Pass the Depends…

  31. Vickie-glad I could help out. 😉
    Hey, did I detect a small bit of sarcasm in that last bit? Or was it the slug talking? 😉
    And while I’m here-Stacey, you can head home too.

  32. Bruno Kirby. “He first garnered attention for several appearances as a fast-talking wheeler-dealer student who staged a banana eating contest on “Room 222″. ” Mmmmm…..Karen Valentine and a banana eating contest. Sounds like an entertaining Friday night plan to me.

  33. Thanks for the planning of my Friday night calender Uncle Willie. Except I am in Oklahoma and cant even get the show. Oh well…looks like leftovers and laundry for me 😉
    No seriously, Good luck on the show, and have fun. I’ll try to swing by when I (if I) ever visit LA.
    By the way, does Uncle Willie even read these posts after the first few?

  35. OK, kids, follow the link to Amanda Wheaton’s imdb filmography. Short but sweet, looks like she’ll be appearing on tonight’s First Monday as a character named “Jennifer Evans”

  36. Ahh, darn it. I wish I could fly across the country and see a show. I’m sure it would kick ass. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow, right? I’ve got tons of plans this weekend. Today’s my birthday! So defintely no doing dishes or washing laundry (I planned ahead and did it all on Wednesday). TGIF!

  40. Not to be ignorant and/or repetitious, but could we get some more info on Wil’s sister? I can’t find Amy or Amanda Wheaton on IMDB, nor can I find a character named Jennifer Evans on tonight’s First Monday listing. Is the info not there, or is my serious lack of coffee interfering with my ability to work my computer?

  42. Damn the midwest, I would really like to got to the show wil, but from KS its a bit far to drive. Guess I will have to be reduced to cooking for friends and going to a dance club…

  45. According to the IMDB, she’s also going to be on one of my favorite shows, Six Feet Under, on March 17th.

  46. hey i get to goto a suns b-ball game tonight.. and i still party on fridays and saturdays so 😛
    Remember when it was fun to jump on a roof and smoke ganja til u were blue in the face?
    i dont really remember it but i think i did something like that..
    hops

  47. Sarcastic Cheese:
    Thanks for the info! I’m recaffinated now, and able to push the right buttons…

  49. Thanks, Uncle Willie…if not for you, I don’t know what I would have planned for this Friday evening. 😮 )
    Don’t usually watch “First Monday”, but maybe I’ll have to tape it to see another Wheaton in action on TV.
    Hope everyone has a great weekend, in whatever they do!!
    Be good,
    Mark

  50. Okay, so it’s Friday. I’m young and “free”. Guess what I’m doing tonight? Making sadwiches. That’s right! Because I’m in that poor, pathetic state in which I must sell my soul to the sandwich company in order to get an insanely overpriced and cheifly usless education. Damn the Man!
