Graduation Performance -- Sunday, March 4, 8pm - The Hideout

I'm still surprised you remember me taking the Genetics class you TA'ed for. Was it just from proctoring tests?

you wore a t-shirt with michaelangelo, leonardo, raphael and donatello (the artists) wearing the ninja turtle headbands during one of the exams and i thought it was funny. and then i noticed you at maestro a few weeks later. and then there were more maestros and more exams and the connection was made stronger.

it sounds creepy typed out, but honestly it's just that i pay attention to detail.

Ha, the last time I wore that shirt was a few days ago. I got it online at threadless, a site where users submit t-shirt designs and people vote on ones they want printed. It's called "Heroes in an Art Shell". I would post the direct link to it (and a picture), but I can't until I've been registered here for 4 days.

It's been out of stock since the first run, but I'm sure they'll reprint it soon with the new TMNT movie right around the corner.

And you're right, that does sound creepy. Weirdo.

[bradisntclever]

I should probably clarify that I can be really sarcastic.

[javelina]

I'll be there!

Great! I'm really looking forward to it!!

4. The phrase "you and yours"

Do you collect colloquialisms? I try, but I have problems with instant-recall.

Just one rule, your class has to stop coming up with better avatars than the rest of us have.

We're playing the heightening game, just like in Jam on Tuesday. Now it's your turn to make a new avatar, and the rest of us decide if it's an 'increase' or 'decrease'.

it's over.

Didn't something similar happen during {Mice/Maes}tro a few weeks ago -- where comical miscommunications occurred and "ex-boyfriend" became the inspiration for a scene?

I would make a new avatar except Christina and I made up after the whole "it's over" thing so now I'm back to being stuck with what I gotz.

NOT THAT IT ISN'T FRIGHTFULLY ADORABLE AND I LOVE IT!

Oh yeah! That was a close one!

[Justin D.]

Howdy, folks.

I'm Justin, a third member of the level three graduating class.

It'd be great to see people come out to support us and our rapidly beating hearts on stage. We'll try not to suck. How's that for enticing people to see us?

[Roy Janik]

Oh yeah. Since I'm being sent to Raleigh by work on Sunday, I guess I'll be missing this. Curses!

Have a great show.

[Wesley]

Congrats on a hell of a show. If you need anything, advice on forming a troupe, help blackmailing Andy into letting you play Maestro, practice (come to the Tuesday night jams!) please don't hesitate to ask.

You five rocked the house and I can see you all growing into some seriously kick-ass players! It was nothing short of a pleasure to watch you in your first show.

[Matt]

Excellent show, all! I had a great time watching you show your stuff on stage, and had an equally good time at Opal's. Welcome to Austin Improv!!

[Justin D.]

I think I'm the first one home and that's why I'm the first one to post here. First of all, I want to extend a great big thanks to everyone who made it out. We had a surprisingly full audience and quite the receptive bunch too. Matt, thanks for coming out to Opal Divine's afterward. Wes and Kristina (my girlfriend spells her name with a K and not Ch, so if I'm wrong, let me know), the big cookie was awesome and made me smile for the rest of the night. Hard not to have fun on stage when you know there's a giant cookie waiting you when you get off. It seemed like the time went by really quickly.

I am damn proud of all us. After the show, I was quizzing everyone, fellow classmates and audience members, to see what each person's favorite moment was. The basic feeling I came away with from everyone who was on stage is that we were all happy with the performance. Forgetting any flubs or regrets or fumbles, I feel I can safely say we all had a blast.

I look forward to seeing others at Tuesday night jams and any possible Micetro shows (however that's supposed to work). One of the first things I did after Andy handed me my Heroes of Comedy certificate and the audience came up on stage was tell my girlfriend she can't tell me I'm unfunny. Now, I have a certificate that proves I am.

[Roy Janik]

Sorry I missed the show. I went and saw a graduation show in Raleigh to make up for it, but it's not the same. Glad you enjoyed the cookie.

[javelina]

Huge thanks for everyone that came out tonight. It was a fantastic load of fun. I had trouble not just laughing hysterically onstage. Super-special hugs to Parallelogramophonograph for the giant, frosted cookie. Yum!

See you at The Jam!

Smiles,

Ben (:

[Zach]

Sorry I missed your show, had to work. Sounds like it went well, though. Congrats. See ya'll at the Jam or elsewhere.

Ben, you've gone insane with your HTML skills, my friend. You and Brad are already in the main picture for the Tuesday Night Jam MySpace page? You fast working whores you.
