EJ Thomas Hall mentioned on Glee last night

[zippyfan34]

I was watching Glee last night and the U was mentioned. It talked about EJ Thomas Hall and Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin who my wife and I actually saw at EJ this year as part of the Broadway in Akron series.

Transcript from Glee:

00:13:55 (school bell rings) I found her.

00:13:58 Your mother? Where?

00:14:00 In the library.

00:14:02 I've been researching her all morning, and as I suspected, my intuition has been proven correct.

00:14:07 My mother is Broadway legend Patti Lupone.

00:14:11 I've always had a deep connection to Ms. Lupone-- her choice of roles and songs.

00:14:15 I decided to do a little math to see if her being my mother was even possible.

00:14:19 I was born December 18, 1994.

00:14:22 1994 was a big year for Mother.

00:14:24 She was a sensation inPal Joey.

00:14:26 But that was in New York; I was born in Ohio, you say.

00:14:29 Well, Mother took many breaks from the show to tour with Mandy Patinkin.

00:14:33 That April found them at the EJ Thomas Hall in Akron, Ohio, for a standing room performance-- nine months before I was born.

00:14:39 Are you saying that your fathers impregnated Patti LuPone in the Marriott in Akron?

00:14:43 Was Mandy Patinkin in on this?

00:14:44 All you have to do is look at pictures of her in her performance inMaster Classin 1996.

00:14:49 Look at the pain in her eyes and the hurt she's feeling from giving up her obviously talented little girl.

00:14:54 One question: What was in it for her?

00:14:58 M-Money, a sense of charity for those in need?

00:15:04 I don't know.

00:15:06 Guess you're right.

My wife and I got a good laugh at that one.

I was wondering if anyone else happened to catch that. My wife and I were watching it along with our daughter and we all got a big kick out of it

It sure beats some of the other pop culture references to Akron over the years.

So is campus going to be flooded by a bunch of middle-aged housewives who think they're still 16?

Speaking of EJ Thomas, if you've got your tickets (its sold out!) you can see my home boy, Jake the Shake Shimabukuro there on Saturday night.

1) The whole "two dads" thing is hilarious on that show.

2) I hope people around the world dont actually think we have hotels downtown. They would be in for a surprise.
