Post by beardedlamb »

part of the plan is to have guest stars every show and right off the bat edi and dan from impro theatre want to play with us in our first show in october. i'm so nervous. first show in LA as an LAite topped off with them two legends in the mix. i have to relax.

And if you happen to be in the Los Angeles area and would like tickets to a taping of HELLO? come to the Westside Eclectic at 8pm on October 20.

Well, that is when I'll be in LA, coincidentally.

Dude, you of all people (and Mike) have nothing to fear.

When I played in Micetro back in January with Edi and Stephen, it was a blast. Yes, it was Micetro, but I had a scene with each of them and they were both so generous and into playing and having fun.

And guess what? You're a better improviser than me. Surprise!

I actually get excited when I'm nervous now. It usually means I'm taking risks and leaving my comfort zone. As long as being nervous doesn't stop me from doing my thing on stage, it can be a good thing.

Anyway, you'll kick 9 kinds of ass, and I can't wait to see HAPPY!

Oh! and this is AWESOME! I wish I was going to be in LA for your show. I'll have to catch the NEXT one. :-)

Also, when is OOB West 2008? I'm traveling to Disneyworld (in Florida) the first week in June and I want to make sure I'm available to go to LA, too. I'm guessing it is Fri. 5/23 - Mon. 5/26. Is this right?

My philosophy on nervousness:
nervous excitement = good
nervous dread = bad

Have fun. Wish I could be there. Break a leg.
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.
