Who Wants to Have a Heart Attack?

For those unaware of the House of Cards phenomenon, let me clue you in.

Starting in 2012 Kevin Spacey has been starring in a "Netflix Original" television show called House of Cards. In the show Kevin plays Frank Underwood, the house majority whip in congress. He is also power hungry, smart, and unbelievably manipulative. Apparently the character is based off of, and completely resembles Henry the III from the Shakespeare play. Well in a nut shell, this show which has some of the best writing I've ever seen, and is without-a-doubt the most intense show I've ever watched, has made Kevin Spacey maybe one of the most intimidating people in the world. At least to me.

So here's the kicker. Kevin also owns and operates the Old Vic theatre in London (a world renown theatre), and he is doing an Omaze fundraiser in which:
              You +1 will fly to the center of political power (the set of House of Cards) and hang with
              Kevin Spacey and Beau Willimon! You’ll have a Freddy's-style BBQ lunch and get to 
              perfect your acting skills when you rehearse a scene with one of the greatest actors of all
              time! Next, you’ll spend time with Beau Willimon when you get a personal tour of the stages
              and chat about writing for television and film.

Now I have never had a super close interaction with a celebrity before but if I ever met Kevin Spacey, let alone read lines and hang out with him, inside I would probably be like this.


And in reality I would be having a heart attack. Which is why I am not going to be donating money to be able to do this, because we all know. Somebody is going to die.


Wise Words From The Dusty Wahl...

Just watch the show. Nobody needs to die.
