For Your Benefit

If you haven't heard of Point Break Live!, you're missing out on one of the most incredible ideas to ever enter and emerge from the cranium of a human being.

The theater show, which is apparently staged in a bar, tells the story of former-Ohio-State-quaterback-turned-FBI-special-agent Johnny Utah and his adventures with extreme surfing bank robbers. The brilliant development of this piece over the film is the fact that the actor who plays Johnny Utah (originally played by the sublime Keanu Reeves) is chosen at random from the audience every night.

Unfortunately, it's only showing in New York at present, but I've been waiting for a reason to go to New York. Now I have one.

(Thank you for Dan Marfield for bringing this epic event to my attention.)
