Disco Day

7 09 2007

Well, the Omega Wolf show is over. Thanks for coming if you came, and go fuck yourself if you didn’t.

One of the sketches I wrote was called “Disco Day”, and as per the theme of tragedies throughout history as seen from an office window, “Disco Day” centered around D-Day, the storming of Normandy during World War II. The central characters were anachronistic Germans, more akin to 90’s Eurotrash than the Nazis they perhaps should have been. They are working in an office of unimportant purpose overlooking the beach at Normandy where the Allied forces began their invasion. The primary motivation for the characters is to make it to the disco for “teknomuzikdiscodansing”. They lament that the Autobahn does not reach Normandy so they can make it to the top disco in Berlin, the Triple Reich (a joke that was apparently lost on the audience, but what I considered to be a brilliant combination of a landmark Minneapolis club, the Triple Rock, and the Nazi regime’s Third Reich, but I wrote the joke, so…). They look out the window to select the best spot on the beach to tan, when they notice what they perceive to be an art film being made on the beach. When one of the characters is shot, they realize that it is an invasion against “teknomuzikdiscodansing”.

Afterwards, Dano asked me if I named this blog after the sketch. In truth I hadn’t, but it fits.
