The Hell of Hello

Hello, I’m Marc Mooney and I’m a half-assed misanthrope. I hate meeting new people, so let me welcome you to Village Theatre from behind the mini-blinds of this blog.  

Maybe one day we’ll meet in person. If that happens, expect the following:   

I’ll look at you askance and assume you’re looking for someone else or the bathroom. You’ll say “good show” and I’ll say “thanks.” I’ll sweat and stare at the exit.

But somehow, when all seems lost,  we’ll stumble upon some common ground: probably some form of mass media. I’ll love you. Probably too much. I’ll exhaust every possible joke to be made about The Weather Channel, but you won’t mind because you’ll love me, too. We’ll laugh at Storm Stories and I’ll burn with shame for wanting to hide from you earlier. I’ll remind myself that people are wonderful once you get to know them, and I’ll vow to be more open to new people and conversations.

Until I meet your friends.
