Comics In Action's Interests
General
Improv, comedy, funny people, cool people in iowa city and cedar rapids.
Thanks for you and Angie having me at the partay! Congrats again. And you were very well-behaved, what gives? Maybe it was compensated by all that talk from your engineering buddies - sun blisters etc.
Dennis, Thanks for the invite. BTW, whatever happened to "Sackers"? Was it ever released? I myself even had a small cameo in it as the video department guy who shit his pants...
You all know that Agent CD has high standards when it comes to chicks (heh heh) but he also has high Web standards. Don't know what that means, check this out. It's awesome:
Hello all! I hope the XMas party was fabulous. I missed you terribly. So I went and got wasted downtown. Alas.
I miss you like whoa. Come visit. If anyone happens to be in the Des Moines area on the 15th or 16th, come check out Comedy XPeriment at the Stoner Theatre... we're doing long form. Most of the troupe went to ImprovOlympic at the beginning of the month for some workshops with Charna Halpern (I missed out because of work... booooo), but we're integrating some of the workshop stuff into the show, so it should be a really awesome time. I will be in CR January 20... let me know if there's a show and I'll come watch!
Hell yes Dennis! Thank you! I'm actually rockin your town tomorrow night. It's a company party at Daniel McArthers in Cedar Rapids. If you'd like, you could probably sit in. If not, that's cool too. It is a Saturday and I know you're a man about town. I'm assuming you still roam around Cedar Rapids. Take it easy!!!
Negatory on the TrekFest gig this year. Apparently the laff riot we caused there last year was not appreciated by Riverside. Or maybe it was all the looting. Or something.
Oh, Jesus,
Yes I do know who ya are now. I didn't know where to look in my mind for your picture. But what's this "gigs down the road from Kirkwood" business?
Thanks, Big D. I hope your back is feeling better. KUNI was fun. Take it easy, I'm sure we'll see you at a future gig when your back is back. Isn't that an AC/DC song? Cause I'm back is back...
