It's not that I don't have a life. It's just that some of my life revolves around the TV. I have been going out every night since Friday and now I would like to take a short breather. I looked to see what was going to be on the tube and there is nothing. I could get stuck watching Deal Or No Deal, CSI, American Idol or Top Model. Since I saw Top Model was on, it made me think, whats the status with Project Runway. I found this news:
Lifetime snatched Project Runway from NBC/Bravo with a $150 million deal for the rights of the very successful fashion design reality series. While everyone assumed that the whole production is moving to Lifetime, NBC signed on Project Runway producers Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz to an exclusive contract for NBC Universal.
The producers from Magical Elves shall be developing scripted and unscripted shows exclusively for NBCU, which means that Lifestyle will have to put together their own team to handle Project Runway, once it begins with its new network later this year. Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are reported to stay on the show, but Nina Garcia and Michael Kors have not renewed any contracts as of the moment, despite reports that they are indeed moving to Lifetime.The Kids In The Hall are doing a Myspace Secret Standup show at the Steve Allen Theater here in Los Angeles. The show is free and it's to support The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Wierd how a free show is benefiting a charity. Maybe they will ask for donations at the show. It's not too much of a secret since I saw a banner advertisement on Myspace without even logging in. The only prerequisite to get into the show is to have a printout of your Myspace profile.
Last night I went to the Sierra Stage to catch some comedy at T.N.T.. It was a fun night. The evening began with Obama supporter Harrison warming up the stage. He announced the first team to take the stage "KICK ASS DRAGONS". Kick Ass Dragons had two aquaintences of mine on the three person team, Rob and Zack. I don't remember exactly what the suggestion was but they performed some scenes about a three way relationship, bartending school, Aruba and a mixer party. Fun stuff to see.
After them came Splicer. The very large group named Splicer took control of the stage with their improv movie form. The suggestion I believe was "Pimp Queens and Dope Fiends". Things learned were the franchising of ones privates, Pimps can talk alot, and there is such thing as a $135 Million dollar bill. I also noticed that Jenny and Daniel are in this group. I asked Jenny after they were done to see how her trip to Kentucky was. She told me about her adventures and she bumped into someone who knew me during her travels. She said "Small World", I said "Popularity".
During the 9 o'clock hour we started with "The Internet". I didn't know any of the members of this three member group but I have seen them at TNT before. The group started out with the suggestion "Cat in a Bag". It wounded up being a crazy enteraining journey with restaurants serving expensive cat in the bag dishes, drug sniffing voodoo cats, and Ghostbusters 2. A fun ride.
The second group to take the stage was Sean Conroy and Dannah Feinglass. I don't seem to remember the suggestion but Sean and Dannah started as a married couple of two years. Dannah being very cheery in a Sound of Music type of happiness. Sean in a very laid back and restrained hatred of his wife. It went from than to a Mother/Daughter discussion of the chosen people and dating. The last I remember it hitting was two school kids trying to do homework/hangout on the waterbed while clumsy with firting.
At 10pm we were welcomed by Zam! I know Josh and Monica in this three person improv troupe. Someone shouted Pizza as the suggestion for them and as last week, the group I saw Josh in, they did an organic opening to their set. They have some good openings and do not get into the dreaded drummers in a circle, monkeys, zombie walk a lot of oprganic openings turn into. During their scenes we were introduced to lemer sex, 80's cars, and moon sensitive skin.
I am trying to remember the set Capricorn 5 had. I remember them ending the night and it had gay chew toys. Afterwards I ended up leaving before the Jam. I just wasn't in the mood to perform improv. I had a bad day.
Today I think the word of the day is laundry. It has been a while. I think I would like some chinese food also. This weekend I hope to hook up with Jimmy to go to UCB to catch Match Game. This month should be fun with the cast they have. I should be there both nights. I also start another workshop with Billy Merrit. I hope we get to do a ninja Harold. It should be nice to do a harold since I haven't done one in a long time. It has been all documentary and one act from here.
