There was this....
There was....
Okay.
So, imagine — imagine Koyaanisqatsi, except it's more disturbing, and there's a smoke machine on stage. Just a relentless, plotless barrage of images and jarring music and unsettling mirror effects, for like an hour and a half. With a smoke machine. And also Koyaanisqatsi is made entirely from found footage of dogs. Only it's actually not Koyaanisqatsi but The Holy Mountain, which I have not seen, remade with the found footage of dogs, including Bible-toting dogs and surfing dogs and Wishbone and werewolf transformations and ghost dogs and Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai. And then after the credits roll three anthropomorphic Banana Splits-style dog-mascots come onstage and urge the audience to throw VHS copies of Jerry Maguire at a dog-catcher with elongated forearms while Bruce the Cat, who is a guy in a black face stocking and cat ears and a suit, plays Radiohead's Creep on a mini keyboard.
That...actually happened.
I am broken. It took 'til like ten minutes from the end, but it broke me.
This is why I love. This. Town.
(Also I love my wife, who reminded me that Everything Is Terrible! was going to be at the Coolidge, which I now know I can bike to in ten minutes flat if I need to.)
