Crazy Monster Wrestling

Friday night, I had the priviledge to attend Shpadoinkel Mania XVIII, a spectacle of giant Japanese monsters known as Kaiju Big Battel. There's no good way to describe it. It's wrestling pageantry with characters who fight in a ring for world domination. They dress up as characters like a can of soup (Kung-Fu Chicken Noodle) or sibling plantains (Los Plantanos). There's a whole storyline behind the characters, there's a huge cult following, and it's fun for the whole family (there were 10-year-old kids and their parents, along with tons of college kids.) Bottom line is it makes for a really poor blog entry, but a really fun night.
