Synopsis:
Hank and Aaron, who like to say that together they’ve hit more home runs than Hank Aaron, are running low on attendees at their Alien Abductees Anonymous Of America meetings. Hank started AAAA (or Quadruple A) because girlfriend Crystal claimed to have had an alien abduction experience, and Hank figured that putting her in a room with crazy people would bring her to her senses. Instead, he discovered he has a talent for therapy, or “share-apy,” as he calls it.

Late one night, after an AAAA meeting, the shy, sensitive Aaron finds a 4-foot alien “puppet” on a downtown Portland river dock and takes it home. Hank figures they can boost attendance by advertising a “mystery guest” and then making people think it’s real. The plan backfires, however, when people boo and walk out. As they leave, the alien comes alive.

Aaron is so startled, he hits his head, loses consciousness and has a “conversion” experience, leading him to believe he is meant for a “higher purpose.” Crystal just thinks he needs a girlfriend, and suggests to roommate Alladora that she take up the cause. Instead, Alladora asks for “Brad’s number.”
