SHADOW
CITY -- A shape-shifting alien doing impersonations last night at the
Thing-A-Ding-Ding Piano Bar was booed off the stage during an act where it did impressions of a sled dog and a group of American researchers. According to
the crowd, The Thing was a sell-out, doing most of his work in CG. “No one does
these routines with practical effects anymore,” said a stop-motion skeleton who
walked out of the show after The Thing’s first imitation. “It was just way too
sleek and just not there. It was like a cartoon. There’s just something more
tactile when it’s actually there on the stage performing before an audience,
even if it is a little jittery like me. I got my money back.” Once The Thing
appeared to have left the room through a hole in the floor that was clearly not
there, The Invisible Man was on next to perform his famous disappearing act.
