Mum Stuff.

Yesterday was Mother’s Day. Both of my improv troupes performed in a show called “Improv Motherload” on Saturday night. It was great, and held at the Mum Puppettheatre (har har har). A very fun time.

Rare Bird Show hosted the event, and had to perform without Alexis which was sad and strange. Nathan and Matt were hilarious, and Nathan’s whole family was there. His brother is cute. After the show we went to Greg’s graduation party and drank everything. Then we saw Matt Nelson’s awesome new apartment and I feel in love with his dog. Holy fucking cuteness.

Both N Crowd and Industrial Improv had good shows. I usually don’t enjoy half hour shows with N Crowd, but this one was fun. The excitement of having Steve Cohen back adds something to the shows, among other things. He really is an amazing kid. I was proud of Industrial because we kept pushing it. Our second beats were not what one would expect any time. And our final beats were awesome. The second and third pieces pulled in parts of the others and the organized chaos grew rapidly and consistently. We really missed Greg (who was at his graduation party), but we definitely pulled it out without him or Mike Mc Farland (who moved to Brooklyn last month). I am very proud of us.

I slept at Mike and Brandon’s and went right to my parents’ house Sunday afternoon. I spent most of the day and night on the couch watching the Sci Fi channel with my mom. She loves the Sci Fi channel. If the channel went defunct and she ran out of new programs to watch on the History channel, she’d be lost.

The point of my story is that I love improv and beer (and rum). I love cheese. I love puppies. I love my mom.
