Moments

October 20th, 2009

Life is really all about the good moments you remember.  The NOLA improv festival was last weekend, and it had a lot of good moments.

During a workshop, John and I did this scene about having to kill all the rabbits in a pet store because the pet store was closing. Instead of killing the rabbits, John ‘accidentally’ killed my character, and let all the rabbits go, to the cheers of an audience made entirely of improvisers.

Jay Suko called me Gary all weekend, because we were doing a bit, and neither one of us wanted to break character.

We hung out with Clint and Buck from TwinProv, which was awesome. They’re awesome freestyle rappers. Also, because they’re twins, they can finish each other’s puns, rhymes, ect.

The troupe told ghost stories to each other during a late-night thunderstorm until we ran out of stories.  Then, we started telling each other the plots of 1980’s movies and tv shows as though they were ghost stories.

“So my uncle gives me this furry pet for Christmas, and there’s all weird these rules for taking care of it…  like three of them.”

“No!  That is a lie.  That is the movie Gremlins.  You were NOT IN THAT.”

“Okay.  Well, there was this one time that I was working in a New York skyscraper…”

“You were not in Gremlins Two EITHER!”
