Crazy busy week! Start off with a little improv with my troop, Gus, in Baltimore on Friday. Geesh, it took me 2 hours from Fairfax, VA to get there. It was an ugly commute. When I finally got there, we had a reporter sit in and take notes, ask questions about us and what improv is. She was a trooper - we had her do some exercises with us and then spent the last hour working on the improv play that we are planning in Dec. I will not be apart of it due to Christmas Carol. This will be my third year and I don't want to give it up.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I was asked by my friend, Mikael, to do some improvising for this 72 Hour Play Festival in Frederick. It was so much fun. We had an hour to do a full blown set with a bunch of scenes based off of these suggestions that the teams that are participating in the event got to choose. From the board we would pick things like, climax of a scene and/or character relationshiop and improvise a scene. The teams watched us and will then put together a full 10 minute show as a competition. Again, it was a lot of fun and the other 3 improvisers that I performed with were so much fun. It makes such a difference when you are out there with decent players.

Tonight, is the Comedy Pigs practice. We have so much to go over in 2 hours. Denny is the director of our summer show and we have few sketches submitted so far. I haven't written a thing. Actually, I hate to admit it but I started writing a monologue for our June shows, which opens this Saturday and next. I thought since our theme for the poster was Schools Snout for Summer and we used our graduation pictures, I would put together a 3 minute commencement speech. Of course, it would be something that could differentiate the younger with all of the hypocrisy of getting older (i.e. 40 is the new 20 and wisdom comes with age) kinda stuff. Something that our audience could relate to and laugh about. But I think I wrote too much and now I've got to shorten it a bit and polish out the funnier points.

Then tomorrow and Friday I have rehearsal for Wow, It Works in Hagerstown. It's a yearly play that the district does. My friend Dave writes it and then we perform it like 3 times. So, my mom and dad are coming to see it this weekend. Our show is this Saturday. As you can see my schedule is completely filled. And it's mostly 'cause I hate work and I like to do crap that doesn't let me focus too much on myself. Got to stay out of the head!

Oh, last night after that little performance. Ali taped me for this video that we are doing for the show. I can't get all into it but it's going to be hilarious. I was ordering food at Taco Bell on my motorcycle.

What...you want more? Well you'll just have to wait. I'm busy!
