Eleven People Desperately Need Your Attention!

Monday, August 27th, 2007 at 9:40 am

DENVER - Eleven attention whores need you this weekend to help them get their fix. Why, yes, I am one of the proud attention whores! The thing is that my improv troupe, Monkey’s Uncle, and our sista group, The Rodents Of Unusual Size, are teaming up for two — TWO — weekend shows this Friday and Saturday. I guess you could say that I’m whoring our attention whoring and seeing how many times I can work the word whore into a blog post.

We’ve even placed the time so you can easily work it into your busy social-weekend calendar.

Today - Thursday: Gather up your posse.

Friday and/or Saturday:
5:30: Dinner at your favorite restaurant (Hamburger Mary’s is just up 17th as is Steuben’s, but you can still go to your favorite restaurant.)

7:00: Arrive at Avenue Theater to support a locally-owned art establishment (sorry, learned guilt from my Mormon mom) and two troupes who just happen to be local as well.

7:30 - 9:15ish: Laugh at the antics of two animal-themed comedy groups as we do skits and make stuff up.

9:30: Tell us what a great job we did. Some of you can do it after all those years of lying to customers at those retail jobs you’ve had. (”No, really! Floral print and horizontal stripes are soooo you!”)

9:35: Head out to the ’scene’ in the best mood you’ve ever been in thanks to When Animal Improv II! See we chose to end here so YOU can head out to the bars at the appropriate time.

I’m curious. How will you run the board for the Rodents AND do your Monkey thingie? Or will you run the board by remote control? Or will the Rodents run the board? The audience? Highest bidder gets to run the board?

The questions that keep me awake at night…ya know?

See ya there!

I LOVE being called a whore. Reminds me of college.

Good work on this, BTW.

Cool. To bad I’m so far away. Did you do the little graphics?

Kath:
I’m doing both, believe it or not, just not at the same time.

Jeff:
Except for the bad grammar in the last sentence which I just fixed.

Diesel:
I bought the rat and the monkey from iStockPhotos and then used a Mac program I just bought called Comic Life to make the flyer. The logo you see in the post is the top of the flyer.
