Busy Weekend, Busy Monday
Saturday
That day was pretty boring the morning. Pretty much I spent the morning finishing up my X-mas cards and organizing them so I can send them out on Monday. Once that major task was done, I got my act together for the show at Grape Street. (Which I mentioned in the last post) The show as great! The N Crowd was on, Rare Bird was awesome, and Industrial Improv was great! The 'rents came and they enjoyed the show immensely. And they enjoyed the new people as well.. as they did kick ass. I did a great Ding with Kristen and an awesome Typewriter scene too.
After the show, I hung out with Jess, Kennedy, and Natalie at Grape Street. As well with Alexis, Mike from Industrial Improv, and some others.
Around midnight I went to a nightclub named Denim. At first I was a bit irritated by the fact that there was a $20 cover because, well obviously I'm not the fella who likes to shell out $20 on anything. And inside the place was packed. I mean, like 350 people. But eventually I hooked up with Akshay and his pals. (It took me 20 minutes to find them.) And am I ever so glad that I did. They were buying Gray Goose bottles from the bar at $400 a pop! I mean. Whoa! I couldn't even imagine spending that much money on one bottle of liquor. Geez. Granted, I spent $600 on my birthday party in April, but that was 8 people over 6 hours. Nevertheless, it was a great time. I didn't know a lot of people there, but it was fun to hang out with Akshay. Plus I got to see Rupal, Akshay's Ex. (She was looking FINE!) I don't know how I am able to always have the hottest friends. Probably because I am adorable. Anywho... We rolled in at Akshay's pad at around 3:00 a.m.
Sunday
So on Sunday, we had an N Crowd workshop with Alexis. It was awesome, as always. Like I said, she is one talented gal. We did a lot of exercises and practice a lot with statuses. A status is sorta like if someone is high society or if someone is a bum. Often I play a high status person, so I am working on trying to play low status. Plus I talk a lot in scenes so I work on trying to say less and do more. I rely on my wit to be funny. I can be funny on my wit and expressions.
That night, we performed at the Melange Theater Live. It was a good time. There were a lot of fairly talented singers and dancers there. Obviously some were better than others, but most were good. I think the highlight of the night was an amazing 11 year old girl named Bianca Rayan who could belt out tunes. I wouldn't be surprised if she got a record deal in the next year or two and start making more money then I can ever dream of. The other highlight was a drunk guy getting thrown out of the place.
The N Crowd did two 10 minute set of games. We gave them a little taste of Improv and hopefully they will come back and see a full 90 minute show. We will be back in January and February.
So after all of that, I finally came home at 11 p.m., showered for the first time in 48 hours and went to bed. Whew. It was a lonnnnnng day.
Monday
Monday I slept in, still a bit beat from the last two days of improving and partying. And then I went out X-mas shopping and other X-mas type things.

- Bought stamps
- Sent out X-mas Cards
- Bought fun stuff for a few people
- Bought Dad's gift
- Bought Jer's Gift
So... that was the last few days. The next two days are going to be pretty busy with teaching and some more X-mas shopping. I gotta figure out what to buy my mother.
Hmmm.....
