Over the weekend, Dr Girlfriend and I, along with Neal, Zach, Trent, and Trent's imported ladyfriend went to Minneapolis for the Twin Cities Improv Festival. It was a pretty long drive (around 7+ hours with a stop), but there were a few things that made the time go by faster.  First, I acquired a bunch of instrumentals, so we freestyled for about an hour. I think every rap began with "I'm a LADY!" because the first beat was Beyonce. Second, we stopped at this restaraunt/bar and acquired the coolest toy. I started playing with it, and couldn't put it down. Check him out drinking water. He also eats mayonaisse (I guess someone has to).

Pretty cool I know. He loves 2 things...Dr Dre singing Keep Their Heads Ringing, and playing rock/paper/scissors.

We arrived around dinner time, swung by the hotel to grab Zach, and headed out to the theatre. Of course, it was like a 20 minute shuttle ride away. I love it that cheap hotels are 2 zipcodes west of the ballsack of the city. Anyway, Zach, Jaime, & I did a fun CSz show at the festival, then we all did a Beatbox show. I like 'headlining' a slot, but going on at 1 AM was a bit much for me, especially after driving all day long.

Saturday night, I snuck in and did the CSz show at the CSz space. Was really cool, although I got Mynock & Wombat (which is actually a womprat) confused. Oh well. 5 things is fun anyway. 

My cousin Mark and his wife Huong live in Minnesota, along with my aunt Liz. They showed up for both CSz shows. It was great to catch up with them, as I haven't seen them in years. It's funny, because next weekend, I do CSz in Milwaukee, where my cousin Paul lives. ComedyPantz, bringing cousins closer together. 

The drive back seemed shorter, but it was still long. I got back to Chicago just in time to veg out with Fallout 3 and go to CSz for Dual Duel. I really love that show. It's fast and fun. You should check it out.
