That'll last 7 seconds before I cover it up with paint, blood, or human excriment.

also as Jay said "one of my favorite ideas that was brought up at the experience meeting was to paint the wall next to the bathroom with "bathroom" written in several different languages, covering the entire length of the wall. we thought it would be a fun project, that's very eye catchy so everyone knows where the bano is."

This is awesome. All of these. Let's do it all. What about improv-related quotes written on the inside? A place for us to put more flyers?
A tv screen? An attendent?

I'm sure it will look impressive if I ever get out of improv hibernation mode. My only peeve that hasn't seemed to have been hit yet is the door that gets stuck in the box office. I can bring my sander, but if someone beats me too it, let me know, because at this rate it will take me a while to get out there.

Ambitious projects:
Lower the Marquee out front. This will make it not only easier to modify,but also easier for people on the street to notice.

Potential difficulties: hanging something on a building on Congress ave. with significant street traffic underneath probably has some legal issues involved, getting permits, having certified people working on it, etc., so it may be impossible to do ourselves. But it might be worth looking into, how hard could it be to move a sign, eh?

Other: Put a lighted (neon?) sign at street eye level at the front - Improv Comedy!!!! No one can see our marquee because the damn midget trees are exactly the same height.

Cheapo version - get a flexible light tube (ala the one we use for Start Trekkin turbolift), and try to spell improv comedy using cursive and black electrical tape. Might could work.

Once we get the hottub installed on the roof, I think this will be a happening place.

'grats, dudes!

Believe it or not, I was planning on addressing that but when we checked on Saturday, it wasn't sticking. I suspect it'll start sticking again when it warms up so it's probably something to do once we touch up and refurb the box office. We need to stop putting pins in the drywall.

I think Jeremy went at it with some tools to fix the problem.

I really like the idea of having a TV in the wall with a video loop of someone just looking at the person. Occasionally glancing down and smirking.

i should never have googled gorram.
by the way, i'm still in the dark as to what it is after 35 seconds of intense online research.

anyone?

Evilpandabear · Post by **Evilpandabear** » January 14th, 2006, 6:24 pm

it's from Firefly, a short lived scifi western tv series. in that universe the two super powers of space are usa & china, so all the characters speak a mix of both. GORRAM is a term similar to goddammit or oh shucks. kinda like "smurf" but no one said i'm feeling mighty gorramy today.

update.

our one (and only) car broke down today, and i was unable to make it to the hideout (sidenote - earlier in the day, i was pulled over and ticketed for an expired registration. when it rains, it pours.)

anyway. i am still on the bathroom tip, but its looking like next weekend, sadly.

gorramit.
