Someone's Having a Party...

And I think it's you!

I'm excited about the par-tay tonight. So sorry I couldn't make it to the shiz-ow last night. I was actually asleep by 10:45. Lame.

We can hash out more video ideas tonight...and maybe sneak in a drunken game of spades.

Tonight

My good friend Abbie Isaac is coming into town for the evening. I believe we will start out by heading to the Bean and walking through the park briefly, followed by dinner somewhere...not sure where yet.
Then we'll get a drink and head to iO for the 10:30 PM show of The Reckoning, which is only $5 apparently and Ben recommends them.

If you're interested in joining, please do! As always: the more the merrier.

Good luck with your interview Gabbx!

EVERY IDEA IS GREAT

especially mine.

i forgot about demon eviction notice. it's kind of involved. but i think we could totally rock it. especially if we just kept it in a hallway or inside with the demon peeking out from behind the door...

DEMON EVICTION!

also any sketches i wrote for SC classes are up for grabs...

EDIT: Ben is too good for titles, apparently...

Cat Law Firm Yea
Demon Eviction Yea
Shakespeare Yea

Just Say Nay

So far I vote for Cat Law Firm. I don't think a Shakespeare video would be very funny...and would be a little too theatre people-y.

shakespeare in 5?

Shakespeare video? Maybe we could do something with my delightfully unusable ideas...Lovers kept apart by their disparate plays...Lady Macbeth and Falstaff meet at a bar...well maybe not...

There's always Cat Law Firm!

New Project

I read Twelfth Night. And so did you.

BUT...it appears we have a new focus...

1. To Become the greatest Spades players in the world

AND

2. To make a humorous 5 minute film for the Annoyance

I'm excited about both.

Let's discuss the film though...throw out your ideas on this sounding board.

I also may retool the blog to fit our new filmmaker/spadeplayer image.

Ready. Go.

Twelfth Night FTW!!!

Twelfth Night is the winner, despite Ben's last ditch efforts to sabotage the election.

Frank the Cat was ecstatic.

Inspiration



We happy few, we band of brothers...
Branagh knows best. Gilderoy Lockhart is my homeboy.

Suck it.

I'm difficult.

ben on the cruise

dialogue inspired by 80's radio

Cher: If I could reach the stars, I'd give them all to you.
Me: Thanks, Cher. And what exactly am I going to do with all the stars. That's your problem. YOU DON'T THINK. Where am I going to put these. I LIVE IN A BASEMENT.

Ben's Vote Doesn't Count

Much like in the presidential election, Ben's vote doesn't count in this poll either.
Twelfth Night is declared the winner by an overwhelming majority.

Unless of course...you're serious about the plays to read in your poem, in which case I will read Titus Andronicus and Much Ado About Nothing over the next week.

So...a new poll will go up shortly!!!

blind optimism

we are so made of win! I can't wait to bring the complete hardback collection of Shakespeare to the beach. Patrick, you wanna TA a 826CHI class with me? Us? good. cuz i'm forwarding it to you now.

apology

I'm sorry.

truth

i secretly hate A Midsummer Night's Dream.

On Failing and Reading

I declare the reversal of fail
as this project we nail.
I'll read As You Like It and Taming of the Shrew
you read Titus and Much Ado..
The three of us will succeed if we get a chance to sit down and read.
If for no other reason, about Shakespeare we'll talk,
and put on a show staring Fairuza Balk

New Poll!! AND Fair Verona, IL!!!

Just ignore that last post folks!
Let's start off fresh with something fun: a poll!!!
Features are fun!!!

So this poll is about the book club idea. I'm going to propose two plays for us to read (because if I proposed three, it might be a split decision, since there are only three of us that know of this project's existence...which is very Descartes of us).

Choose ONE of the plays and you can read it while on your cruise! Hooray for boats! Hooray for the ocean! You can do research on shipwrecks! Hooray shipwrecks!

ALSO...there IS actually a Verona, IL, though it's not a beach. It's a little under 2 hours away from Chicago and it looks like there's absolutely nothing there! Hooray desolation! I smell a road trip...
