ComedySportz, last minute, for my birthday!
 

It's my birthday on Sunday, and I hadn't planned anything. End of April was very busy and I didn't want to even worry about it.

We're going to ComedySportz on Saturday night for the 8pm show. I have a friend in the cast. CSz is one of my favorite things. We used to go all the time, years ago.

It's improvisational comedy, done right in front of you (like Who's Line is it Anyway but better ;) ). I've been meaning to set up a meet for ages and I figured what the hell, last minute is better than never. :D

Who's in? No assigned seating, so we can buy tix separately in advance and save a couple of bucks. There's a link on the site. Show up a bit early so we can all sit together.

I'm hoping as many of my awesome friends as possible show up. I want everyone to see this fun show. That would be a fantastic birthday for me.

:) :) :)

Mango.

I promise we won't end up splitting any checks.

I wish I could it sounds like a lot of fun. Unfortunately it's Jr. Rodeo Queen pagent weekend. Hope you guys have a blast!

It sounds like fun and I'd love to go but I'm taking advantage of my bday being on a Saturday night.


May bday :cheers:

I need to update my calendar with my work commitments. I know I have an overnight this weekend but I may be able to work this in.

I feel sad that LashBear will be missing this, I think he'd win, hands down.

I wish I could go. I've seen some of the ComedySportz players in other venues- I think some of them were D.U.H. at DCA a few years ago- and generally love good improv. Hope you have a great birthday!

Yup, D.U.H was mostly CSz folk. There are troops in Sacramento and San Jose, if you wanna catch one a little closer to home.

Would love to go, but I'm working till 10:30 both nights this weekend :/

CSz is awesome. I haven't seen a show in over a decade. However, this Sunday is not a good time for us. :(

Have an awesome and fun birthday though! :)

In case that wasn't a typo - the show is Saturday night.



Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone. I know full well this is last minute so no worries if you can't make it.

I would love to, but I have a show that night. It sounds like a blast though!

Sounds like a blast, but alas I'm working right along with Morrigoon on Saturday night.

Actually I'm only working until 7:15PM that night, but would never make it in time for the show. Have a Happy Birthday CP!

We'll be there to celebrate.

I would rather be there than what we are doing - have fun!

In fact, I would rather be most anywhere than what we are doing (helping the MIL move)

CP, What a great idea to start your birthday weekend--with laughter and comedy. Sorry I am unable to attend, since I will be working, but I hope you have a great time! :)

I'm not sure whether we'll be able to make this - the Rat needs to work tomorrow afternoon/evening so we might not be able to make it up that way in time. However, it looks seriously cool and like a lot of fun, so if we can't make it tomorrow we'd be interested in doing this sometime in the future, if you guys go again.

Would love to see one of these shows, but alas, I'll be playing music while you are all out having fun.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday, CP! :)

Can't get tickets online anymore, so we're going to try our luck at the door tonight

Hmm, I wonder if we can pull some strings...

How many? Mousepod and Mrs. Pod coming?

We did not order tix ahead either, but are planning on coming.

I'm guessing that they aren't sold out, that they've just stopped selling the cheaper presale tix online now that it's day-of. We'll try to get hold of our friend in the cast and see if he can put some tickets aside for you guys to be sure you get in. If not, hopefully at least one of those going will get there a bit early and can ensure tickets are gotten.

Just talked to him. He can't put tickets aside for us, but he's confident that it's not sold out. He's sure it didn't sell out via presale, and unless a load of people happen to be showing up for tickets at the door it should be fine, but show up earlyish anyway to be sure.


The other option is to try ordering over the phone. 323.871.1193 Press 1 for instructions (after a list of shows and prices) for leaving a message to order tickets. He says that should work if there are still seats.

How early should we show? We just called and left a message for tickets.

Count me in! With an hour and a half to spare, I better start moving. Pre or post show eats?

They told me post-eats, earlier. Or post-whatnot.

We just got a call confirming our tix. We'll be there around 7:30, I guess. See you all shortly!

Mmm, post-toasties!

Thank you everyone for coming! :D :D :D The show was hilarious! They've got some talented players. More fun was had afterwards at the Brite Spot - a perfect location for a late night snacking swanking. I'm so beyond glad that I had the perfect last minute celebration doing one of my favorite things with some of my favorite people.



I'm now committed to setting up another CSz meet sometime this summer.

Please do! We'd love to go with everyone. :)

Glad you had an awesome time!

Now I'm craving some theory of relativity flavored jello with a glass of mountain licorice to wash it down with.

For some reason, I got a flash image of a communal pee. Quite disturbing sez I

Oh damn I would have loved that too. Sorry to have missed.

A communal pee?

Missing during a communal pee can be quite embarassing.

I was more referring to the comedy thing, but yeah sure. :)

We'll definitely be going back in short order.

Looking forward to seeing this too!

VEGEMITE!!!!
