Seven Deadly Sins: One-woman musical comedy debuts 10/17 at Open Circle Theater

The Devil in Miss Jones meets Scrooge as Eva Moon debuts a sensuous one-woman musical "7 Deadly Sins... and Me" at Open Circle Theater in Belltown on Sunday, Oct. 17.

Backed by Moon's hot-jazz quartet, the Lunatics, the show tells the story of one woman's hilarious encounter with the spectres of Sloth, Envy, Greed, Pride, Anger, Gluttony and, most of all, Lust. By the end of a harrowing night, she learns that what you've been told isn't necessarily what you should do.

The musical includes 17 original songs on topics ranging from Brazilian waxes to sexy baristas, e-mail scammers and ambiguous encounters at the Crocodile Cafe, just up the street from the theater.

Eva Moon & the Lunatics have released two CDs, "Something's Brewing" in 2004 and "Moon Falling Down" in 2008. Performers will include Moon on vocals and keyboard, Ferko Saxmanov on alto sax and flute, George Michael on guitar, Mike Gordon on bass and Zushka Niemann on drums.

Two more performances are scheduled Nov. 14 and Dec. 12. Tickets are available online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/129190 or at the theater’s box office. Open Circle Theater is upstairs at 2222 2nd St., Seattle. Street parking is free after 6 p.m. Curtain is at 7:30, allowing audiences to get home by 10. Admission is $10. For directions, photos, video and sound clips, see http://evamoon.net.

ARTIST: Mike Cross TITLE: The Scotsman Lyrics and Chords  Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street Ring-ding-diddle-liddle-I-de-o, ring-di-diddley-I-o Oh, he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street / E A B7 E / - A E B7 / A E - B7 / EB7 EA B7 E / / A - E B7 / EB7 EA B7 E / About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt... They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth... They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show... Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes Oh, lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize...

BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT FEELS

Long-Distance Calls

A man in Topeka, Kansas decided to write a book about churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and worked east from there. Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued by a sign which read: "$10,000 a minute." Seeking out the Pastor he asked about the phone and the sign. The Pastor explained that the golden phone was, in fact, a direct line to Heaven and if he paid the price he could talk directly to God. The man thanked the Pastor and continued on his way. As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, San Diego, Chicago, Greensboro, Tampa and all around the United States, he found more phones with the same sign and got the same answer from each Pastor.

Finally, he arrived in Texas. Upon entering a church in Dallas, behold, he saw the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign read: "Calls: 35 cents." Fascinated, he asked to talk to the Pastor. 

"Reverend, I have been in cities all across the country and in each church I have found this golden telephone. I have been told it is a direct line to Heaven and that I could talk to God, but, in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads 35 cents. Why?" 

The Pastor, smiling benignly, replied, "Son, you're in Texas now... It's a local call."

Oh, could you help me place this call
See, the number on the matchbook is old an faded
She's living in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
Only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
Operator
Oh, could you help me place this call
I can't read the number that you just gave me
Something in my eyes

I think about the love that I thought would save me

But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show

Real Church Signs

Do not wait for the hearse to take you to church. 

If you're headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns. 

If you don't like the way you were born, try being born again.

Looking at the way some people live, they ought to obtain eternal fire insurance soon.

LETTERS

A Letter Addressed to God

A letter written in a childish scrawl came to the post office addressed to "God". A postal employee, not knowing exactly what to do with the letter, opened it and read: "Dear God, my name is Jimmy. I am 6 years old. My father is dead and my Mom is having a hard time raising me and my sister. Would you please send us $500?" The postal employee was touched. He showed the letter to his fellow workers and all decided to kick in a few dollars each and send it to the family. They were able to raise $300.A couple of weeks later the same post office received a second letter addressed to God. The boy thanked God for the recent infusion of cash, but ended with this request: "Next time would you send the money directly to us? If you send it through the post office they deduct $200."

Sts. Cosmas and Damian (d. 303?)

Sts. Cosmas and Damian (d. 303?)

Nothing is known of their lives except that they suffered martyrdom in Syria during the persecution of Diocletian.

A church erected on the site of their burial place was enlarged by the emperor Justinian. Devotion to the two saints spread rapidly in both East and West. A famous basilica was erected in their honor in Constantinople. Their names were placed in the canon of the Mass, probably in the sixth century.

Legend says that they were twin brothers born in Arabia, who became skilled doctors. They were among those who are venerated in the East as the "moneyless ones" because they did not charge a fee for their services. It was impossible that such prominent persons would escape unnoticed in time of persecution: They were arrested and beheaded.

On revelations of where the Secret Funding for the Tea Party Comes From-

They’re meant to be a grassroots gang of populists who quickly sprang

From nowhere ‘cause they’ve had enough of liberal bureaucratic guff.

Less government is what their for – the very goal pushed heretofore

By every oilman who’s a foe of regs that slow up making dough.

And guess who’s funding them – no joke.

Two wealthy oilmen named Koch, with faux foundations in cahoots,

Provide the funds. Some grass. Some roots.”

Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang and Companions

Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang and Companions (1821-1846)



This first native Korean priest was the son of Korean converts. His father, Ignatius Kim, was martyred during the persecution of 1839 and was beatified in 1925. After Baptism at the age of 15, Andrew traveled 1,300 miles to the seminary in Macao, China. After six years he managed to return to his country through Manchuria. That same year he crossed the Yellow Sea to Shanghai and was ordained a priest. Back home again, he was assigned to arrange for more missionaries to enter by a water route that would elude the border patrol. He was arrested, tortured and finally beheaded at the Han River near Seoul, the capital.

Paul Chong Hasang was a seminarian, aged 45.

Christianity came to Korea during the Japanese invasion in 1592 when some Koreans were baptized, probably by Christian Japanese soldiers. Evangelization was difficult because Korea refused all contact with the outside world except for an annual journey to Peking to pay taxes. On one of these occasions, around 1777, Christian literature obtained from Jesuits in China led educated Korean Christians to study. A home Church began. When a Chinese priest managed to enter secretly a dozen years later, he found 4,000 Catholics, none of whom had ever seen a priest. Seven years later there were 10,000 Catholics. Religious freedom came in 1883.

When Pope John Paul II visited Korea in 1984 he canonized, besides Andrew and Paul, 98 Koreans and three French missionaries who had been martyred between 1839 and 1867. Among them were bishops and priests, but for the most part they were lay persons: 47 women, 45 men.

Among the martyrs in 1839 was Columba Kim, an unmarried woman of 26. She was put in prison, pierced with hot tools and seared with burning coals. She and her sister Agnes were disrobed and kept for two days in a cell with condemned criminals, but were not molested. After Columba complained about the indignity, no more women were subjected to it. The two were beheaded. A boy of 13, Peter Ryou, had his flesh so badly torn that he could pull off pieces and throw them at the judges. He was killed by strangulation. Protase Chong, a 41-year-old noble, apostatized under torture and was freed. Later he came back, confessed his faith and was tortured to death.
