IAAPA Day 3: Show Open




See Parts 1 and 2 of our IAAPA coverage here!

The head cold is still going. So everybody: Dayquil, coffee, coffee, biscuits, gravy, coffee, bacon, sausage, fruit, OJ, coffee, GO! Cholesterol, sugar and protein are excellent cure-alls. At least they are in my book.

The show opens around 8am EST with a beautiful ceremony involving speeches, women in tight dresses, speeches given in heavy foreign accents and a live show of some sort. Last year there were some German stunt people and a rather lovely female contortionist, although not at the same time. The contortionist’s costume was what I would call diaphanous. Most would call it transparent. Most men would just make panting sounds and rude gestures. I’ve learned a great deal of self-control over the years so I kept all my impure thoughts just as such. This year was no different, I’m sure, though I was asleep at the time, so I don’t really know what happened, but I assume it was lovely. The combination of jet lag and a head cold can ruin your mornings if you don’t do your best sleep them off.
