Film at 11

We made the pilot in what is to become a series in sketches cleverly titled Marriage!. Guess what they’re about? Go on… Guess.

The series will be posted on both http://www.youtube.com/user/Youngnotions and http://www.funnyordie.com/youngnotions.

Also, WordPress has made me a very happy admin and granted the right to embed google calendars. If you look to the right, you will see our individual “agendas.” Note how Bill’s is full. We like that.

Mine is sad and empty-ish, but I have plenty of projects I’m working on currently. All nerdy, all sufficiently awesome. You will all find out in due time.

Bill and I are leaving in a few minutes for his gig at the corner bar. You should all come down. Show at 9pm. Film, sketch, and stand up.

Get Out the Vote

So, you may have seen me do story telling/sketch/things at The Monday Night Comedy Show. You may have seen Bill do stand up/improv/things at the same show. You may have seen my son, Jared, in the audience, playing on the computer.

The Monday Night Comedy Show is having its first award show, and all three of us are on the ballot

You can only vote once. You must have been to the Monday Night Comedy Show. If you haven’t been, you can qualify by going tomorrow. Then, you can vote for us. Or other people. I mean, I’m up against some killer spoken word and story tellers. I would not be ashamed to lose to anyone else nominated.

But, I’d also not be ashamed to win, either.

The Monday Night Comedy Show

$4 for 2 acts.

Upgrade

Bill’s at a gig. Plans cancelled on me. Others busy. Not feeling the need for out. So I put on some sweats, ate chocolate ice cream, and worked on this site. Nerd therapy.

On the plus side, I got a lot done that I’ve been working on for a bit. Bill and I each have our own accounts, so you can see who posted what. I mean, yes, we are of one mind on everything, except not at all, because we’re two individuals, and this was never intended to be one of those cute “we do everything together omg matching jumpsuits let’s get up at 3 am and jog together” couple websites. 1) I hate those couples. 2) Neither of us jog. I coaxed Bill into a 5k once, and he vowed never to forgive me. It’s okay- I haven’t forgiven myself for that one yet. 3) I am NOT a morning person. At all. The first 5 minute of my morning is spent as a daemon from the pits of 7th level hell. Face and everything. Bill is so much braver than you all give him credit for. You think I’m kidding.

I’m still working on getting a calendaring system to post here. I think the auto feed into other calendars that post well on WordPress isn’t going to happen. I tried some domain based stuff, and no good. I think I’m just going to have to set up a feed for each of us. Which is probably for the best, as we are not the same person. See above about matching jumpsuits.

I’m also trying to find a way to push and email list. Hoping to find a way to do that within this CMS.

On to performance stuffs.

I had a really good couple of Vil shows last weekend. Like, two in a row. I was ridiculously pleased with my cast, and less critical of my own performance than I normally am.

I have a couple of projects heating in the crockpot, but nothing to show yet. Still, sometimes slow cooked projects end up with the better return.

And CONvergence is right around the corner. Bill and I will both be doing nerd comedies there. Me doing the VilTen, and Bill doing stand ups. It’s sweet when nerdy comic couples can do the same CON. Like making out on a pile of  Magic: the Gathering card while wearing clown wigs.

I’m of course kidding. Those cards are far to valuable to possibly ruin for a make out session. Even one involving clown wigs.

But I guess CON is maybe our version of matching jumpsuits. Ah, Cosplay.
