Relive Teenage Angst

The 'Get Mortified' Live Shows

— April 20, 2007 — Lifestyle
Remember back in the day when you were stuck in high school hell? When you wrote about it on your binder? Your locker? In your journal? Well fast-forward to today - you're all grown up and you're in front of a live audience reading your angst for droves of ravenous angst-hunters that have expressly come to hear your pain. What started as a small gathering has grown into shows in major cities - you can check the schedule here - that folks can't stay away from. Regular folks just like yourself reading about their high school experiences like: The Ogilvie Home Perm Incident, Going to Prom With Your Mom, Being a serious geek (weren't we all?), and your weird friends like "Herm the Perm". I love this idea and not because one of these pictures bears an uncanny likeness to my mother in high school! Hmmmmm......?
