WARNING: turn your volume down low at the beginning, my narration is loud. Also the vid is about 15 megs so it might take a few minutes to download but it's WORTH IT.
I'll get to the story in a bit.
Meanwhile, I took about 8 guys down the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre last Tuesday to see The Shoves, the same crew that came to Michigan during the school year. They were missing one of their funniest crew members, Bobby Moynihan, whom I found out later has been promoted to a different group. Even so, the show was hilarious.
Here's a pic of me with a few of the cast members. I'm the one in pink.
The theatre itself is really cool. If you've ever watched the UCB television show, you'd recognize a LOT of early stuff they ended up using on the the shows (the Titte Brothers, the Little Donny Foundation, the Bucket of Truth). Lots of photographs and collages of the original cast members. Good stuff.
We went back on Sunday night to check out ASSSSCAT 3000,
the show that made the original UCB, Matt Besser, Amy Poehler, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh into household names. Look just because you've never heard of them doesn't make them NOT household names. Trust me, EVERYONE else has. You're just out of the loop. The show was once again, very very funny. We recognized one of the performers as NetZero's Candidate Zero:
This was later confirmed by another cast member. The guy's name is Rob Huebel, and he was definitly the funniest cast member in the show. I can see why they picked him for the campaign.

Now to the story of the guy in the video at the beginning of the post. On Sunday I decided to show my new pals Ian and Pei-Ning the city, both of whom had just arrived in NYC, Ian from south Florida, and Pei-Ning from China. We started the day in Central Park, where we were viciously attacked by the biggest, meanest, man-eating-est, blood-thirsty-est raccoon I ever did see:
Later on we hopped a subway car to Canal St and ran into the Master of Merchandising, , the Multi-Talented Salesman Extraordinaire, the Sultan of Salesmanship, the Chief of Chinese Relaxation Balls, and Purveyor of understatement and humility; THE WILD AND CRAZY GUY!!!
Little Italy is full of crazy people, my two friends just happened two be among their element:
That’s all for now. I’m getting up early tomorrow so I can get my Brazil visa.
