Hi all! I’m having after-Megacamp depression because everyone was really awesome and I miss you all ;; I hope everybody got home safely! Thank you all for the lovely time, and the wonderful coordination!
If I’m not following you already PLEASE poke me so I can! I want to!!
And for those of you who recorded for the Megamind Musical by Set, PLEASE direct message me your email address so I can get you into this Google Drive situation for file unloading! :D Hopefully between everybody we have the whole thing! Because it was awesome!
Once all the files are compiled, I’ll let Set decide what to do with the files from there, as this is truly their beast! So those of you waiting to see, you’ll have to wait for now, sorry loves. <3
So as much fun as we’re going to have at camp, we also have a couple trips planned to attractions close to camp. Each of these will cost you a little extra money on top of your camp fee, but we think they are worth it! So where are we going you may ask?
Bristol Renaissance Faire
Welcome to one of the biggest Renaissance Faires in the US! There are dozens of shows through the day including music, comedy, and jousting, as well as village worth of shops including garb, food, alcohol, jewelry, and all sorts of fascinating shiny things. Costumes are highly encouraged!
You will be responsible for your own admission fee and the costs of any food and souvenirs.
AepelTreow Winery and Distillery
Whose up for a little drinking? This Wisconsin establishment creates apple and pear based wines, ciders, perry, brandy and whiskey!
They offer tastings for $5 a person. You’re responsible for the cost of any additional liquor you may buy.
Adrian’s Frozen Custard
No, its not frozen pudding. Frozen Custard is a creamier cousin to ice cream and a regional food unique to Wisconsin. So of course I can’t have y’all come here without trying some for yourself! And every good Wisconsin girl knows that the best frozen custard comes from rando mom & pop places in little towns just like Adrian’s. You will be responsible for the cost of your own cone.
MEGAMIND’S FATHER:
—THE SUN GOES SUPERNOVA; STILL—
BOTH:
MY SON AT LEAST YOU’LL HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE
MEGAMIND’S MOTHER:
AND AS YOU GO INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN
I PROMISE YOU WON’T BE ALONE—
Here is your Minion. He will take care of you.
FATHER:
And here is your binky.
(he places glowing blue binky in escape pod.)
BOTH:
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
OUR SON, AT LEAST, WILL LIVE
THANK THE MERCY OF THE UNIVERSE
WE’VE ONLY MOMENTS LEFT, IT’S TRUE
BUT AT LEAST WE’RE SPENDING THEM WITH YOU
(baby Megamind cries.)
MOTHER:
Oh, my love; shhh.
DON’T YOU CRY ANY MORE
FATHER:
MY SON, YOU ARE DESTINED FOR—
MEGAMIND:
I didn’t quite hear that last part. But it sounded important. Destined for—what?
CITIZENS:
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT
SAY THANK YOU TO THE UNIVERSE
TRUE, A BLACK HOLE HAS CRUSHED
EVERYTHING YOU LOVED TO DUST
BUT IT COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
MEGAMIND:
I set out to find my destiny!
CITIZENS:
OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT
THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN
ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT
IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
IT’S JUST THE END OF THE WORLD
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THEY’RE GONNA GET WORSE
MEGAMIND:
Turns out a kid from the Glaupunkt Quadrant had the exact same idea as me.
That was the day I met Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes. And our glorious rivalry was born!
Was this what I was destined for? A dream life, filled with luxury?
Apparently not! Even fate picks its favorites. No big deal.
CITIZENS:
IT COULD BE WORSE
IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
TRY TO REMEMBER THIS
WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED
OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT
THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN
ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT
YOU’LL GROW UP BEHIND PRISON BARS
BUT YOU SHOULD THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS
BECAUSE THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS ARE GONNA GET WORSE
MEGAMIND:
After a few years, and with some time off for good behavior, I was given an opportunity to better myself through learning at a strange place called shool.
It was there that I once again ran into Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes.
He had already amassed a gigantic army of soft-headed groupies. He bought their affections with showmanship and extravagant displays of his power.
So I, too, would show off my special talents and win over those mindless drones!
That’s when I learned a very hard lesson. Good receives all the praise and adulation, while evil is sent to quiet time in the corner. So fitting in wasn’t really an option.
CHORUS:
IT COULD BE WORSE
IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
TRY TO REMEMBER THIS
WHEN YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED
MEGAMIND:
Some days, it felt like it was just me and Minion against the world.
CHORUS:
YOU HAVE ONE FRIEND IN THE WORLD
SO IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
IT COULD BE WORSE
IT COULD BE WORSE
MEGAMIND:
While they were learning the Itsy Bitsy Spider, I learned how to dehydrate animate objects and rehydrate them at will!
No matter how hard I tried, I was always the odd man out.
The last one picked. The screw up, the black sheep…
STUDENT ONE:
Freak!
STUDENT TWO:
Weirdo!
METRO BOY:
Get him!
MEGAMIND:
The bad boy.
CITIZENS:
OH NOW DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
OR YOU’LL GET SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT
THINK OF THIS AS A CHANCE TO LEARN
ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO WITHOUT
IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
YOU DON’T FIT IN THIS WORLD
MEGAMIND:
Was this my destiny?
YOUNG MEGAMIND:
Being bad is the one thing I’m good at.
MEGAMIND:
If I was the bad boy, then I was going to be the baddest boy of them all!
YOUNG MEGAMIND:
I CAN BE WORSE
I CAN BE SO MUCH WORSE
I CAN BE THE BADDEST THING
IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
MEGAMIND & YOUNG MEGAMIND:
OH, YOU THINK THAT I’M BAD NOW?
I AM GONNA SHOW YOU HOW
I CAN BE WORSE
I’M GONNA BE WORSE
MEGAMIND:
I was destined to be a supervillain! And we were destined to be rivals!
And so began an enduring, epic, lifelong career. And I loved it! Our battles quickly got more elaborate. He would win some. I would almost win others! He took the name Metro Man: Defender of Metrocity.
I decided to pick something a little more humble.
Megamind! Incredibly handsome criminal genius and master of all villainy!
CITIZENS:
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE
YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT
SAY THANK YOU TO THE UNIVERSE
YOU’VE FINALLY FOUND YOUR PLACE
MEGAMIND:
True, it’s getting punched in the face.
CITIZENS:
BUT THINGS COULD BE WORSE
THINGS COULD BE WORSE
MEGAMIND:
Yes, things could certainly be a lot worse!
Oh, that’s right. I’m falling to my death. Guess they can’t.
I’m So Bad
MEGAMIND:
THE EVIL PLOT IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE
I COULD JUST EVIL LAUGH WITH JOY
LOOK OUT NOW, METROCITY!
I PLAN TO BE A BAD, BAD BOY
GONNA SHOW OFF MY TRUE COLORS
LET MY FIENDISH BRILLIANCE SHINE
I’M MEGAMIND, THE EVIL GENIUS!
AND SOON THIS CITY WILL BE MINE!
BECAUSE I’M BAD, BABY
I’M THE BADDEST THING IN TOWN
AND I AM GOOD AT IT
AND METRO MAN IS GOING DOWN!
I’LL ALWAYS BE A VILLAIN
What can I say; it’s just a gift!
OH, I’M SO BAD AND EVIL—
MINION:
Well, hello, good looking; need a lift?
MEGAMIND:
Certainly do you fantastic fish, you!
MINION:
Get in the invisible car, you!
MEGAMIND:
OH, I AM BAD, BABY
THE BADDEST THING YOU’VE EVER SEEN
MY HEART IS BLACK AND WICKED
AND I’M SO HORRIBLE AND MEAN!
Nice work sending me the disguise watch, Minion!
MINION:
You got it, Sir!
MEGAMIND:
Ah, there’s no place like evil lair!
MINION:
Oh, the brainbots certainly missed you, Sir!
(Brainbots make ‘bowg’ noises of enthusiasm.)
MEGAMIND:
Did you miss your daddy? Who’s a menacing little cyborg? You are; yes you are!
OH, I’M SO BAD, BABY
PEOPLE SEE ME AND THEY RUN
THEY KNOW I’M MEAN AND NASTY
OH, BEING EVIL’S SO MUCH FUN!
(The Brainbots bring him his cape and help him into it.)
Ah, my cape! How do I look, Minion? Do I look bad?
MINION:
Disgustingly horrifying, Sir!
MEGAMIND:
You always know what to say!
IT’S GOOD TO BE BAD, MINION!
TIME TO UNVEIL THE EVIL PLAN
MINION:
This one’s sure to work, Sir!
MEGAMIND:
AND WE WILL DEFEAT METRO MAN!
(Roxanne stirs and begins to wake.)
Ah, she’s awake! Places! Places!
IT’S SUCH A GOOD BAD FEELING
WHEN THE CROWD’S CURSING YOUR NAME
I KNOW I MIGHT BE INFAMOUS
BUT INFAMY’S STILL FAME!
(Brainbot pulls bag from Roxanne’s head; all Brainbots exit.)
Miss Ritchi! We meet again!
ROXANNE:
Would it kill you to wash the bag?
MEGAMIND:
You can scream all you wish, Miss Ritchi! I’m afraid no one can hear you! (pause)
Why isn’t she screaming?
MINION:
Miss Ritchi; if you wouldn’t mind.
MEGAMIND:
Like this!
(screams)
I’M SO BAD, BABY
LET ME HEAR THOSE FRIGHTENED PLEAS
I’M JUST THE SUPERVILLAIN
TO BRING THIS CITY TO ITS KNEES
Except, of course, for you, Miss Ritchi. As my evil queen, you will, obviously, be exempt from any shows of obedience required from the ordinary populace.
ROXANNE:
Ugh, the evil queen joke is getting really old.
MEGAMIND:
It’s not—
ROXANNE:
Almost as old as this bag.
MEGAMIND:
Again with the bag?! You don’t seem to be taking all of this seriously!
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT I AM BAD, MISS RITCHI?
CAN’T YOU SEE THE PERIL YOU ARE IN?
MY EVIL PLAN’S COMPLETE NOW
AND THIS TIME I WILL WIN!
COME ON AND SCREAM FOR ME
LET ME HEAR YOU SHRIEK WITH FEAR!
(silence)
I SAID SCREAM FOR ME!
(Minion screams quietly.)
That’s what I like to hear!
I’LL ALWAYS BE A VILLAIN
THE BADDEST VILLAIN OF THEM ALL
I’M GOOD AT BEING EVIL
Today Metrocity will fall!
Better Than This
MEGAMIND:
I’VE GOTTA DO
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
BETTER THAN THIS
ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW YOU’RE
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
BETTER THAN THIS
PUT THAT GIANT BLUE HEAD TO GOOD USE
COME ON, MEGAMIND; JUST THINK—
MEGAMIND:
BUT SHE’S SO BRILLIANTLY SMART
ROXANNE:
YOU’RE SO SMART
MEGAMIND:
DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO START
ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT
MEGAMIND:
A HEROINE LIKE HER DESERVES THE VERY BEST IN VILLAINY
BUT ALL THE THINGS THAT SHE’S SEEN
ROXANNE:
YEAH, I’VE SEEN THAT
MEGAMIND:
EVERY EVIL MACHINE
ROXANNE:
STILL NOT SCARY
MEGAMIND:
MY INVENTIONS AND MY GADGETS; NONE OF IT’S BAD ENOUGH FOR HER
I’VE GOT FLAMETHROWERS AND SAWS
ROXANNE:
SAW THAT LAST TIME
MEGAMIND:
AND I’M GRASPING AT STAWS
ROXANNE:
I THINK IT’S PAST TIME
TO GET OUT OF THAT DEATHTRAP THAT YOU’VE LOCKED YOURSELF INSIDE
IT IS SO VERY CLEAR
MEGAMIND:
IT’S SO CLEAR
ROXANNE:
I DON’T FEEL ANY FEAR
MEGAMIND:
I’M A FAILURE
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
AND I KNOW I’M NOT AS SMART AS YOU, BUT EVEN I CAN SEE
SOMEONE AS AMAZING AS YOU
DESERVES BETTER AND NEW
AND I WISH THAT I COULD TELL YOU
BUT YOU DON’T CARE WHAT I THINK
STILL, I PROMISE I KNOW
THE TRUTH UNDER THE SHOW
MEGAMIND:
GOTTA DO BETTER
ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE BETTER
MEGAMIND:
BUT MY PHASERS DON’T PHASE HER
THE SPIKES AND THE LASERS
I’VE GOTTA DO BETTER
ROXANNE:
DON’T YOU KNOW
MEGAMIND:
OH, I KNOW
ROXANNE:
YOU DESERVE
MEGAMIND:
YOU DESERVE
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
YOU DESERVE
SO MUCH BETTER
THAN THIS
Metro Man
METRO MAN:

Anyone Can Be A Hero
ROXANNE:
Yeah! I mean, it’s like they say—heroes aren’t born; they’re made.
MEGAMIND:
…heroes can be made.
(Music for ANYONE CAN BE A HERO begins as they each get an idea)
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
That’s it!
MEGAMIND:
IT’S SO SIMPLE
ROXANNE:
IT’S SO SIMPLE
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
SO VERY SIMPLE
MY EYES HAVE BEEN UNCLOUDED
AND I’M SUDDENLY SO SURE
MY THOUGHTS WERE LOST
IN ENDLESS DARKNESS
BUT YOU’VE LIT MY MIND ON FIRE
AND NOW IT’S WORKING BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS BEFORE
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN SAVE THE DAY
I WAS LOST, ALONE, IN DARKNESS
BUT NOW I REALLY THINK THAT I CAN FINALLY SEE MY WAY
MEGAMIND:
Heroes can be made! All you need are the right ingredients!
ROXANNE:
Yeah! Bravery—
MEGAMIND:
Yes!
ROXANNE:
Strength!
MEGAMIND:
Of course!
ROXANNE:
Determination!
MEGAMIND:
Imperative!
AND JUST A LITTLE SMIDGEN
OF THE FORMER HERO’S DNA
I’LL MAKE A HERO
ROXANNE:
I’LL BE A HERO
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
MY OWN HERO
ROXANNE:
SOMEONE HAS TO STOP HIM
AND THAT SOMEBODY IS ME
MEGAMIND:
What?
ROXANNE:
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
EVEN SOMEBODY LIKE ME
THERE’S DARK AND EVIL ALL AROUND US
BUT I CAN BE THE LIGHT OF CHANGE AND SET THE CITY FREE
MEGAMIND:
Yes!
ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT
MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT
ROXANNE:
I CAN—
You—you really think so?
MEGAMIND:
Of course you can, Roxanne!
ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT
MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT
ROXANNE:
I CAN BE A HERO
MEGAMIND:
BE A HERO
THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
BECOMES THE HERO THAT I NEED
I WAS FEELING LIKE A FAILURE
BUT WITH A HERO LIKE ROXANNE
MY PLAN CANNOT HELP BUT SUCCEED
ROXANNE:
I’ll find out what Megamind is up to—
MEGAMIND:
—I should have most of the equipment already in the Lair—
ROXANNE:
—I’ll figure out how to stop him—
MEGAMIND:
—I’ll start work on the formula tonight!
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ESPECIALLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU
BRAVE AND SMART AND SO DETERMINED
YOU’RE A HERO THROUGH AND THROUGH
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN HEED THE CALL
I WAS LOST, ALONE, IN DARKNESS
BUT NOW YOU’VE SHOWN ME THE LIGHT
AND I’M NOT LOST AT ALL
ROXANNE:

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:

ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN
Nice Guy
HAL:
Can she seriously not take a hint? I mean, how many times do I have to ask her out before she gets it? What, is she really still hung up on stupid Metro Man? Yeah, okay, he died, and it was like, sad and whatever. But come on! It is soooo obvious that I’m the one she should have been with all along!
WHY DO HOT GIRLS
ONLY LIKE JERK DUDES
I’VE PUT IN THE WORK, DUDE
I’VE BEEN, LIKE, A GOOD FRIEND
COME ON ROXAROO
HAVEN’T I BEEN THERE FOR YOU?
NO ONE ELSE CARES FOR YOU
LIKE ME
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BUT I’M IN THE FRIENDZONE
WHY CAN’T YOU COMPREHEND
WE ARE MEANT TO BE
YOU ARE MEANT TO BE WITH ME
COME ON ROXY CAN’T YOU SEE
YOU’RE MINE
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
AND I’VE SHOWED IT
SO I’D SAY I’M OWED IT
AND I’M GETTING TIRED OF THE WAIT
MILADY’S A COQUETTE
STOP PLAYING HARD TO GET
IT’S TIME TO PAY THE DEBT
YOU OWE
YEAH, I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BEEN IN THE FRIENDZONE
I’D SAY I DESERVE AT LEAST A DATE
I’M SO STEADFAST
I’VE ASKED AND ASKED AND ASKED
BUT NICE GUYS FINISH LAST
ALWAYS
AND I’M A NICE GUY
SUCH A NICE GUY
THAT HAS TO BE WHY
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
WELL, ROXY MAYBE I
SHOULD STOP BEING NICE—
Oh, I’m totally kidding; totally kidding! I would never do that!
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
Going To Go Wrong
MINION:
Oh, I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Why in the world does Sir even need a hero? It doesn’t make any sense!
MEGAMIND (as Space Dad):
The flames of my evil burn bright!
Now you say something cool back at me.
HAL:
You…bad! Aaaraaaghhhh!
MINION:
THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA
AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN
HAL:
Smash! Smash! Smash!
MINION:
I CAN’T SEE HIM AS A HERO, SIR
AND REALLY I CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND:
Can’t wait—LOL—smiley face!
MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
I REALLY FEEL THE FUTURE’S GOING TO BE BRIGHT
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
Oh, what fun!
ROXANNE:
You don’t get out much, do you?
I used to come here with my mother when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite things to do. Now look at it. It’s a dump.
MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
BUT SIR HAS GOT ONE OF HIS BRIGHT IDEAS
SO EVERYONE HAS GOT TO PLAY ALONG
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
Why are we cleaning up the city, Sir?
MEGAMIND:
Well, we don’t want to battle our new hero in a dump, now, do we?
ROXANNE:
It’s clean! But how? Why?
MEGAMIND:
Maybe Megamind isn’t so bad after all.
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA
MINION:
THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA
MEGAMIND:
I’M SO GLAD I CHANGED THE PLAN
MINION:
AN INESCAPABLY BAD PLAN
MEGAMIND:
FATE GAVE ME A DIFFERENT PATH
AND NOW I’M HERE AND PARTNERS WITH ROXANNE
MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR
AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR
IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND:
Oh, that was such a funny story! And brilliantly told, by the way. Okay, now you tell one!
ROXANNE:
Bernard, I never knew you were so funny!
MEGAMIND:
And—I never heard you laugh before.
ROXANNE:
Yeah, it’s been a while. Feels pretty good.
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
I’M SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE
I HAVEN’T QUITE GOT THIS DECIPHERED YET
BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SOON IT WILL BE CLEAR
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
MEGAMIND:
NOTHING’S GOING TO WRONG
MINION:
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
AND THEN YOU’LL SEE I’M RIGHT, SIR
AND YOU’LL SEE THAT I HAVE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
ROXANNE:
I’M SO GLAD YOU HAVE YOU HERE
MEGAMIND:
I’M SO GLAD TO BE HERE
MINION:
DISASTER’S LOOMING NEAR
IT IS GOING TO GO WRONG SOON
AND THE ONLY THING TO HOPE FOR
IS IT DOESN’T GO AS BADLY AS I FEAR
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
THINGS ARE GOING RIGHT
MINION:
SIR IS HEADED FOR A FALL
BUT THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO
EXCEPT TO STAND BEHIND HIM
AND THEN PICK UP ALL THE PIECES WHEN IT’S THROUGH
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
IT’S GOING TO GO WRONG
Let Me Be Good
MEGAMIND:
I’VE READ THE COMIC BOOKS AND NOVELS
SEEN THE TELEVISION SHOWS
WATCHED A MILLION ACTION MOVIES
I KNOW HOW THIS STORY GOES
BEING BAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN
THE ONLY THING I COULD DO RIGHT
AND PEOPLE ALWAYS LOOK SO HAPPY
AS THEY WATCH ME LOSE A FIGHT
EVERY STORY NEEDS A HERO
THE HERO ALWAYS HAS TO WIN
THE VILLAIN HAS TO BE DEFEATED
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND I’M TIRED
I’M TIRED OF THIS DESTINY
I AM TIRED
OF LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND SEEING ME
BUT I CAN FIX THAT
AND MAYBE THEN I CAN BE FREE
FATE, LET ME GO
LET ME GO
LET ME BE
LET ME BE GOOD
I WANT TO BE GOOD THIS TIME
WIPE THE LEDGER CLEAN AND START ANEW
BE SOMEBODY GOOD THIS TIME
SOMEONE WHO’S NOT EVIL AND NOT BLUE
ALL MY LIFE, I’VE NEVER THOUGHT
I COULD BE SOMEBODY GOOD
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
MAYBE I COULD
I WANT TO BELONG THIS TIME
STEP ONTO THE STREETS AND NOT HEAR SCREAMS
PEOPLE SMILE AND WAVE THIS TIME
IT’S JUST LIKE THE CITY IN MY DREAMS
I HAVE NEVER DONE SO WELL
AT KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
LET ME BELONG
AND MAYBE IT’LL WORK THIS TIME
AND I CAN RIGHT THE WRONGS THAT I HAVE DONE
AND I’LL LEARN TO BE GOOD THIS TIME
AND I’LL EARN MY PLACE HERE IN THE SUN
ALL MY LIFE, I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
I WAS EVIL TO THE CORE
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
LET ME BE MORE
PLEASE LET ME BE GOOD THIS TIME
LET ME HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE HER SMILE
AND I KNOW I’M NOT WORTH HER TIME
BUT LET ME MAKE HER HAPPY FOR A WHILE
I HAVE NEVER DONE SO WELL
AT DOING WHAT I SHOULD
BUT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE—
LET ME BE GOOD

MEGAMIND:

THEY KNOW I’M MEAN AND NASTY
OH, BEING EVIL’S SO MUCH FUN

THE BADDEST THING IN TOWN
THE ONLY THING I’M GOOD AT
It’s time to go down…in style.
See Through Lead
METRO MAN:
I HAVE EYES THAT CAN SEE
RIGHT THROUGH LEAD
BUT I GAVE IT ALL UP
TO SING INSTEAD
I USED TO SPEND MY TIME FIGHTING A SUPERVILLAIN
BUT PUNCHIN’ GIANT ROBOTS NEVER FELT FULFILLIN’
SO I CAME UP WITH A BRILLIANT PLAN
I FAKED MY DEATH AND NOW THEY CALL ME MUSIC MAN!
Only One Here Is Me
ROXANNE:
I HAVE ALWAYS
SEEN THE GOOD IN YOU
ALL THE WORTH YOU TRY TO HIDE
I KNOW YOU’RE GOOD INSIDE
NOW I NEED YOU TO STEP INTO THE LIGHT
I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU TO BE A HERO
THE ONE I’VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT YOU COULD BE
NEED YOU TO BE IT NOW FOR ME
MEGAMIND, IT’S TIME TO PROVE ME RIGHT
MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
I KNOW I’M NOT A HERO
ALL I EVER DO IS FAIL
THE VILLAIN’S NOT MEANT TO PREVAIL
ROXANNE:
I NEED YOU TO RISE UP AGAIN AND FIGHT
SAVE ME
I AM ASKING YOU TO SAVE ME
I CAN’T DO THIS ALONE
BUT I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN
THAT YOU’LL BE THERE TO CATCH ME IF I FALL
I’VE ALWAYS
KNOWN YOU COULD BE A HERO
I KNOW THAT I’M NOT WRONG
THE POTENTIAL’S BEEN THERE ALL ALONG
AND NOW I NEED FOR YOU TO SHOW THEM ALL
MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
I COULD NEVER BE
ALL I’VE EVER BEEN
IS THE VILLAIN
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT THE ONLY ONE HERE IS ME
AND I’M NOT A HERO
THAT’S VERY CLEAR
LOST EVERY FIGHT TO DATE
YOU NEED SOMEONE GREAT
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT I’M THE ONLY ONE HERE
ROXANNE:
I NEED YOU
MEGAMIND, I NEED YOU
MEGAMIND:
YOU DESERVE A HERO
TO COME TO YOUR RESCUE
BUT HEROES ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY
AND I CAN’T JUST SIT BY
YOU NEED A HERO
BUT A VILLAIN WILL HAVE TO DO
ROXANNE:
I HAVE ALWAYS
KNOWN YOU COULD BE A HERO
MEGAMIND:
I’M NOT A HERO
ANYONE WOULD CHOOSE
I’M WELL AWARE
I DON’T HAVE A PRAYER
BUT YOU NEED A HERO
SO I’VE GOT ONE LAST FIGHT TO LOSE
I’M NOT A HERO
I DON’T SAVE THE DAY
IT’S NOT FATE’S DESIGN
THAT DESTINY’S NOT MINE
THE STORY DOESN’T GO THAT WAY
BUT I WILL TRY
TRY TO DEFY MY DESTINY
YOU NEED A HERO
AND THE ONLY ONE HERE IS ME
Things Could Be Worse (reprise)
CITIZENS:
YOU’VE ONLY MOMENTS LEFT UNTIL
YOUR INEVITABLE DEATH, BUT STILL
MEGAMIND:
Normally, I’d just chalk this up as my last glorious failure—
CITIZENS:
SOMETHING IN YOU WON’T LET YOU GIVE IN
MEGAMIND:
—but not today.
I’LL FIND A REASON TO SURVIVE
FIND A WAY TO STAY ALIVE
What can I say? Old habits die hard!
Path We Choose
MEGAMIND:
ALL MY LIFE
I BELIEVED IT
WHEN THE WORLD SAID
THAT EVIL WAS MY DESTINY
FOR SO LONG
MY MIND’S BEEN SHACKLED
BUT I’VE CAST OFF THE CHAINS OF LIES
NOW, I AM FREE
ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
IF YOU LOOK INSIDE
YOU’LL FIND THAT YOU ARE GOOD
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA DO THE THINGS
YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD
MEGAMIND:
I HAVE LIVED
WITHOUT HOPE OF RESCUE
ACCEPTANCE OR FORGIVENESS
OR REPRIEVE
FOR SO LONG
I THOUGHT I DESERVED THAT
BUT MY MIND IS FREE NOW
AND HERE IS WHAT I BELIEVE
ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
THIS BATTLE YOU ARE FIGHTING
CAN BE WON
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA STEP OUT FROM THE SHADOWS
TO THE SUN
MEGAMIND:
I’VE BEEN PUSHED DOWN
AND THE WORLD HAS TOLD ME
THAT I DIDN’T DESERVE
ANYTHING MORE
BUT I’M THROUGH
I’M THROUGH WITH FALLING
THIS TIME, OH, THIS TIME
I’M GONNA SOAR
ALL:
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
BUT THIS IS NOT A FIGHT WE’RE
GONNA LOSE
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
DESTINY’S THE
PATH WE CHOOSE
Greetings, intrepid camper! You may be wondering “how did I get myself into this mess?” or “what even does one bring camping??” Well fear not, brave soul, we have compiled a handy dandy guide just for you first, second, or hundredth-timers. Because we love you.
This guide is divided into convenient sections for your perusal. Should our grouping stay within 35 people then everyone will have a cabin in which to stay, which will negate the last part of the guide.
This is My First Camping Trip, Please Help Me.
Yourself (glad to have you on board, it wouldn’t be a party without you!).
Your photo ID or passport. This should stay with you at almost all times.
Clean clothes for 4 days and 3 nights stay.
At least 4 pairs underwear/bras and socks, we recommend at least 1 extra of each just in case.
Shorts/pants/skirts for 4 days. At least 1 pair should be long pants.
Shirts/tank tops for 4 days.
Pajamas for 3 nights.
Pair of good walking shoes or hiking boots.
A hoodie (for us cold blooded lizard folk to wear at night to disguise our scaled faces with).
Optional: Swimming suit.
Optional: Sandals/swimming shoes.
Optional: Hat to keep the sun off your head.
Optional: Sunglasses or clip ons.
Optional: A hooded rain jacket (so you don’t melt if it rains).
Optional: If you are attending Bristol Renaissance Faire you may wish to bring your own costume. Costumes of any kind are welcome, so long as you don’t have any exposed steel or walk around in just pasties.
Optional: If you are attending the wine tasting at the vineyards you might opt for something super fancy to make you feel classy.
Toiletries
Your prescription medications.
Toothbrush.
Toothpaste.
Shampoo and conditioner.
Body soap.
Deodorant.
Sunscreen.
Bug repellent.
Sandals to shower in (no, really, get a pair of cheap flipflops to shower in).
Hair brush and/or comb.
Optional: Pads or tampons if shark week strikes.
Optional: Hair ties if you are of the long haired persuasion.
Optional: Glasses or contact cleaning solutions if you are a cyborg.
Optional: Shaving razor.
Optional: Skin lotion.
Optional: Hair dryer.
Optional: Makeup and hair styling products.
Phone and charger.
Flashlight and spare batteries.
Folding camp chair (if you are not flying in).
Optional: Binoculars.
Optional: Field guides.
Optional: Reusable water bottle with belt clip for hiking.
Optional: A book to read, useful if you have to wait for a pickup.
Optional: Laptop/tablet and charger. There is wifi, but it isn’t the greatest.
Optional: Camera, film, and extra batteries or charger.
A special note to our international visitors: Don’t worry about packing shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, soap, skin lotion, sunscreen, or bug repellent. If you do not have a special requirement and are not staying in the States before or after camp. Roki will happily provide those things for you. Just let us know in advance so she can be made aware to bring extra. This is to help with getting past TSA because their liquid requirements can be pretty screwy. If you are staying in the States before or after it will be easier on you to purchase those items once here. It saves you in airline baggage weight coming into the States and you cannot bring them with you as a carry on to help with that.
If you want to know more about that, check out this post: Travelling to the States from Canada. Bear in mind that it will differ from country to country and between airlines even, but it’s a good starting point.
I am Staying in a Cabin
The cabins provide mattresses, so air mattresses are not required.
A pillow.
An extra blanket if you think you will need it.
Your own set of sheets (twin or full).
I am Staying in a Tent or Sleeping on an Air Mattress
Your tent (or negotiate with someone to have them provide you one).
Rain fly for tent.
Stakes.
Tarp to put under tent.
Rubber mallet for stakes.
Optional: Small mat/bag to put shoes on inside tent. Prevents bugs getting in them, but also tracking mud inside.
Pro-tip: If you can, zip your tent so that the zippers are at the top of the door. This prevents curious critters from grabbing them at night.
A blow up mattress or sleeping mat.
Pump for blow up mattress.
Batteries for the pump if needed.
Bedding.
A sleeping bag to put over the mattress (put this down before the sheets to prevent loss of body heat through the night).

ROXANNE:

MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
SO VERY SIMPLE
MY EYES HAVE BEEN UNCLOUDED
AND I’M SUDDENLY SO SURE
MY THOUGHTS WERE LOST
IN ENDLESS DARKNESS
BUT YOU’VE LIT MY MIND ON FIRE
AND NOW IT’S WORKING BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS BEFORE
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN SAVE THE DAY
I WAS LOST, ALONE, IN DARKNESS
BUT NOW I REALLY THINK THAT I CAN FINALLY SEE MY WAY

MY OWN HERO
ROXANNE:
SOMEONE HAS TO STOP HIM
AND THAT SOMEBODY IS ME
MEGAMIND:

ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
EVEN SOMEBODY LIKE ME
THERE’S DARK AND EVIL ALL AROUND US
BUT I CAN BE THE LIGHT OF CHANGE AND SET THE CITY FREE
MEGAMIND:

ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT
MEGAMIND:

THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
BECOMES THE HERO THAT I NEED
I WAS FEELING LIKE A FAILURE
BUT WITH A HERO LIKE ROXANNE
MY PLAN CANNOT HELP BUT SUCCEED
ROXANNE:
I’ll find out what Megamind is up to—
MEGAMIND:
—I should have most of the equipment already in the Lair—
ROXANNE:
—I’ll figure out how to stop him—
MEGAMIND:
—I’ll start work on the formula tonight!
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ESPECIALLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU
BRAVE AND SMART AND SO DETERMINED
YOU’RE A HERO THROUGH AND THROUGH

BUT NOW YOU’VE SHOWN ME THE LIGHT
AND I’M NOT LOST AT ALL

ROXANNE:

lyrics:
HAL:
Can she seriously not take a hint? I mean, how many times do I have to ask her out before she gets it? What, is she really still hung up on stupid Metro Man? Yeah, okay, he died, and it was like, sad and whatever. But come on! It is soooo obvious that I’m the one she should have been with all along!
WHY DO HOT GIRLS
ONLY LIKE JERK DUDES
I’VE PUT IN THE WORK, DUDE
I’VE BEEN, LIKE, A GOOD FRIEND
COME ON ROXAROO
HAVEN’T I BEEN THERE FOR YOU?
NO ONE ELSE CARES FOR YOU
LIKE ME
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BUT I’M IN THE FRIENDZONE
WHY CAN’T YOU COMPREHEND
WE ARE MEANT TO BE
YOU ARE MEANT TO BE WITH ME
COME ON ROXY CAN’T YOU SEE
YOU’RE MINE
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
AND I’VE SHOWED IT
SO I’D SAY I’M OWED IT
AND I’M GETTING TIRED OF THE WAIT
MILADY’S A COQUETTE
STOP PLAYING HARD TO GET
IT’S TIME TO PAY THE DEBT
YOU OWE
YEAH, I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BEEN IN THE FRIENDZONE
I’D SAY I DESERVE AT LEAST A DATE
I’M SO STEADFAST
I’VE ASKED AND ASKED AND ASKED
BUT NICE GUYS FINISH LAST
ALWAYS
AND I’M A NICE GUY
SUCH A NICE GUY
THAT HAS TO BE WHY
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
WELL, ROXY MAYBE I
SHOULD STOP BEING NICE—
Oh, I’m totally kidding; totally kidding! I would never do that!
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
