one man show

so tonight i went to a one man show at the cinema.

when roger mentioned a few months back that he was going to hire out the theatre for the night and put on a one man show i thought he was joking. lo and behold, i was wrong.

named 'where's the fat guy?' the premise was a motivational evening from a guy who (after losing 133lbs later on in life) knows how hard it is to change a lifestyle for the better in a lighthearted humourous way. an extention of sorts of the usual talks he gives as a weight watcher leader several times a week.

being that he's a pretty good auritor, i knew it would be worth the go see. lo an behold, i was right.

a fun filled evening was had by all. i did the photography thing (as per usual) for the duration so got a good view of a fairly filled theatre who, laughed (and cried a little) ultimately leaving motivated for whatever, be that weightloss or otherwise.

i have so much respect for roger. he has faith (in more than just god) and isn't afraid to take a crazy step every-so-often, despite the potential for failure. more often than not, some really cool stuff happens as a result.
