I can post again!

Hey, I wanted to come on to blogspot yesterday but there was some weird issue.

Anyway, I'm on now. I wanted to tell about the ImpFest going on at the Roving Imp in Bonner Springs. Unfortunately, my memory isn't what it used to be when it comes to what I've seen and also, I don't have the expierence of blogging to talk about something other than myself...including how I feel about something (which is why I CAN tell about things like improv).
The first night had 4 shows. Anomily Orange, Tantrum, Triv-Prov, and Spite. I had seen Anomaly Orange and Triv-Prov before. Anomaly Orange was the first local improv group I saw back when they were Hype 7 for a free show on Apr. 1, 2008 at the Union at KU. This was the group that made me realize that I wanted to get back into performing again. There is a longer story there that would be better suited for another blog.
Triv-Prov is a two person (once 4 person but only once) show that is the game of trivial pursuit only instead of playing for pies, there are points when they're right and a game when someone gets it wrong.
Last night was my first night seeing Tantrum and Spite. Both excelent...unfortunately, I lack a lot of knowlege when it comes to their groups...but maybe after more shows.

Now tonight, I'd have a better knowlege of. There were 2 halves. The first half was Anomaly Orange, Biblioclast: Charlie Brown Christmas; and Spite. The second half was Improv Abilities, Coma Chameleon, and Tantrum. Biblioclast is just John and Nifer. They take suggestions from the previous show and take the lines from the suggestion (book, movie, play, long-form poem...) and put together a one act play based upon the lines. There first was about a year ago when they did Endgame by Samuel Becket. After the December show when they did Star Trek Deep Space 9 (my suggestion) they revamped the format. Until then, they just simply did what came after the ending of the original suggestion. Improv Abilities is a group I've seen 3 times now. The first time was last year when I was still new to improv. Second was at the Record Bar 2 months ago. Tonight made time number 3. Then Coma Chamilion is one with 2 parts. There is the Chamilion part (everyone takes on the charicteristics of a specific animal that can walk and talk like a human). Then there is the Coma part (one performer is in a coma and they get guest who come talk to them). This is the only group performing in the ImpFest that I've actually been in. Tonight, they just did the Chamilion part which was a little monkey of some kind.

Anyway, I worked the lights for I-A and Coma Chamilion. Saturday night, I'm working the lights for both the 7 and 9pm with the exception of Brownies Don't Lie.

I will end this now because it's after 5am. But I want to include that the after party took us to a pub/bar and grill at K-7 and Shawnee Mission Parkway where I got to sing "Talk Dirty To Me" by Poison on Kereokee!

A number of things

I have a number of things I want to say. This is maybe why I don't update a lot because I want to say a lot but that leaves the blog update looking scatter-brained. So, I will number the things I want to talk about so they at least look neat.

1) The ImpFest starts tomorrow at the Roving Imp at 115 Oak Street in Bonner Springs, KS. In fact, it starts tomorrow (well, I guess technically, it's today now) at 8pm. It's going to be Anomaly Orange, Tantrum, TrivProv, Spite. There will be 2 groups of shows at 7 & 9 (when I say group here, I mean time slot...the 4 groups I just mentioned for Thursday night is 1 group of shows by my counting). Friday at 9pm and Saturday at 7 and 9pm, I'll be working the light and sound booth...except for a few shows...I'm thinking Tantrum and Brownies Don't Lie.
What I'm worried about is that a friend asked me to give him a ride to the Saturday show Monday night after it was too late to financially researve a seat from John for my friend. I didn't think to ask him because he's told me before he couldn't come to my shows because he couldn't afford them and they're $6. The shows for ImpFest run from $9-$12 for a specific group of shows to $35 for the whole thing. And there were some issues between this friend and another friend of mine that apparently have all been settled now. News to me by the way. Anyway, if I'm lucky, I can maybe pay for my friend to be able to get in so it's not cutting it too close.

2) I got my flu shot on Tuesday. It's not a total big deal that I got my flu shot since I get it every year. But I had to go to the CVS pharmacy store on 75th and Metcalf. This was the last pharmacy in the area to still have the flu shot and they were running out. If I didn't get it Tuesday, I wouldn't be able to get it until late November...from anywhere. This is for the regular flu, not the swine flu...also known as H1N1.

3) The drama department at the high school I went to is putting on RENT (The School Edition) the Musical this weekend. I was thinking about seeing it...Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. I won't get to because I lost track of my time and I'm busy the rest of the weekend...what with seeing and working the ImpFest and all. Anyway, I found out within the last 2 days or so that Fred Phelps is going to the high school to protest them. For those lucky enough to not be in the know, Fred Phelps is the preacher (i.e. "Man of God") who goes around blaming God for everything from Columbine to 9/11 to the Virginia Tech shooting to what not and even protesting the funerals of those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and the children shot in the schools all because of his dumb-ass "God hates fags" agenda. When someone on facebook talked about go to the school and asking if anyone wanted to join him and hold sings while standing next to Fred Phelps that say "I'm With Stupid". I commented that I'd like to have a sign that says "LOOK, WE GET IT, YOUR SON IS GAY AND YOU DON'T LIKE IT AND YOU WANT TO BLAME GOD FOR EVERYTHING LIKE THE SELF-RIGHTOUS BASTARD YOU ARE!" Then the back will say, "MOVE THE F**K ON WITH YOUR LIFE!" I know that that is something that would be a really large sign. But in total honesty, it has to be said.

That's all I have for tonight/this morning. I'm sorry I can't seem to get anything that I can post before midnight.

My Ride's Here album overview

This is the overview video I made for the Warren Zevon album MY RIDE'S HERE. It was one of the one's that either got pulled or faced getting pulled from YouTube because Warner Brothers couldn't stand to have anything advertised for free that would just wind up making more money for them. I know, weird, right?

Yeah...

Okay, the time has come to admit that I may never have a normal sleeping schedule again.
That said, I'm just going to comment on my weekend...specifically Saturday.
Saturday, I went to a wedding. It was the 4th wedding I had ever been to in my life. Seriously. It's not that I don't have that many friends...and it's not like none of my friends are getting married. It's just that the one's who are getting married aren't that close to me and vica/versa.
Anyway, that night, I went to the Roving Imp to see RI Spectacular and 92 Monsters Of History. I really enjoied the shows. I also injured myself I believe between the 2 shows. There was a baloon that everyone was playing with and I decided to get in on the action...so I smacked it with a water bottle I had baseball bat style. By the way, I've had tendonitus in my right wrist since April. Now I think there is a chance I may have sprained it. I'm wearing a wrist brase on it. Movement is limited. But it keeps me from suddenly jerking my wrist in directions it shouldn't go.
Anyway, Sunday, I went to church, came home, got a nap then headed back to the Roving Imp for Nifer's beginner's class. She told me that I'm getting better with exspressing my emotion on stage. Now, I want to 1)keep it up with other scenes that I'm in and other scene partners that I'm in with and 2)Be confident about it.

Anyway, this coming week is Imp Fest and a few other things. In fact here's a list of what I'm wanting/expecting for this week.
Monday night: 6:30-9pm is the Monday night Improv class at the Roving Imp. That's right, I'm in 3 Improv classes! Somewhat to expand my ability to do Improv...and partly just because I love going to the Roving Imp so much.
Tusday: At somepoint, I will be getting my Flu Shot.
Wednesday: Laundry (I hope it doesn't hurt my wrist though) and taking the recyclables to my church to be recycled.
Thursday: first night of Imp Fest at the Roving Imp.
Friday-Saturday: Imp Fest continues...and I will be working the tech booth for the Friday 9pm show and the Saturday shows...with the exception for the group Brownies Don't Lie and I believe maybe 1 or 2 other groups who have their own sound and light person.

Oh, and before I post this, I want to say I'm planning on loading my overview and information video on Warren Zevon's My Ride's Here album. Until next time, good night...or morning everyone.

Life'll Kill Ya album overview

Once again, in my personal vendetta (I'm guessing that's the correct work) to make sure that people hear about Warren Zevon, I uploaded the video I made telling about the album Life'll Kill Ya released in the year 2000.

Sleep and Blogspot

I swear:
Someday, I will not only get a better sleeping schedule, but I will also upload things that I want to blog about sooner than after midnight.

Please come

I wish I could get people to come to my blog somehow...
or at least get people to leave some kind of comment so I at least know they're reading.
