W_Z,
Looking forward to this show. Bummed you aren't actually casted in it, but will enjoy your act being played out. Hopefully I'll see you out there if I go this weekend.

would love to see you guys there, any week it's going on.

yeah it'd be awesome if they'd let us be in it, but when you're just a writer, you're less than dirt.

the next show i propose (which will be my first) i will definitely be casting myself in it...but the process has no guarantees..

Zach, is there a website with a synopsis? Thanks.


it's an hour of sketch comedy...with a song at the end. that's pretty much the gist. it hasn't gone up on the web site yet i don't think, they usually do that tuesday i think...i don't want to give away what the sketches are; mainly they're light political humor mixed with relationship stuff and it's pretty hilarious.

I'm a big fan of sketch comedy / improv so I'll definitely be checking it out. I'm just curious but is this the first show you've helped to write? There was a great show called "Douchebags Anonymous" that was there at Donny's Skybox back in February. Did you have a hand in writing that as well?

Was it about a message board? If so, I demand a royalty check.

I did not, but one of my co-writers knew a few of the guys who put that on. Didn't get a chance to check it out, but heard it was pretty good.

It wasn't about this board but if it were, I'm sure douchebag would be somewhere in the title.

Can't, I'll be with the unwashed, texting masses in Grant Park. Next Friday is a very real possibility, however.

I'm going to try dragging Mrs. Midget to this show on 8/17. Is there special seating available for little people?

I hope everything goes well for you tonight, W_Z!

many thanks to mitch cumstein and happy hour for making it. hope you guys enjoyed it, i didn't get a chance to see you after the show, had some "after show" stuff to go through with the cast and director.

we did wind up hanging out afterward, but i couldn't find you...

thanks for coming though!

i apologi for the awkwardness at first, i had forgotten your real names... :wink:

I don't have a real name, because I have met you Jason is just fine, you don't have to call me HappyHour Jason.
Nice work last night!! I definately LOL. Cast was good, clever jokes. Well done!!
Just as an FYI to the others- it is to the left of 2nd city and it is on the fourth floor. Bar is cash only but you can pay for your tickets with a credit card.
Better get their early Midge so you can get the front row. The steps are a little steep for little people.

Zach, good show. The finale was excellent but you stole the show when you came out on the stage with I believe a can of Hamms for your curtain call. You just can't script things like that!

Confirm my Hamms sighting please or correct me.

3 people commented today how I must be due soon or "any day now". I have 7 weeks left! I'm HUGE. It's okay, it's temporary and worth it. But yeah I'm fat. I'm 5" tall weighing in at 161. :lol: :cry:
