Ilana tries to work a lighter.

Today Dan had a bar-b-que to make up for missing the big one on Saturday.
It was a lot smaller and very silly fun.

Ilana confessed to us that she couldn't light a lighter so we took turns showing her how.
It was more because she was afraid she'd burn herself than anything else.
Dan: "Fire scares her like scorpions scare me." (If you know Dan at all you know that scorpions scare him a LOT. Even if it's just a picture.)

We agreed that no one could leave until she did it, but she got it after a few tries and everyone cheered.

The party died down and the remaining few of us went to see...

It was TERRIBLE.
I loved it.

Update to Dan's Palm Reading Move...

apparently it didn't go well for Alan.

Amy joined the SketchCo cast tonight and Nikki will be joining us soon.
It's nice to have some more ladies.

Overall today was pretty stressful, I woke up with a pretty terrible stomachache and couldn't go run errands like I had initially planned. Then I got lost on the way to an audition (I never made it, but they were understanding when I called) and almost ran out of gas trying to become on-lost.

By the afternoon, things were better and Andi & I popped into Adal's birthday bar-b-que for a little bit before our rehearsal. I got to catch up with a lot of people I hadn't seen in awhile, which was nice. Plus there were turducken brats. Oh, yes those are real. Real awesome.

Comic Book Store

Dan, Andi, & I went on a date to Garcia's and the comic book store down the street.
One of the puppies that "works" at the store was begging to be pet.
We obliged.

I picked up some more trades of 'The Walking Dead', which is quickly becoming one of my favorite series.
It is about zombies. And people.
And how people survive after the zombies come.
If you like zombies you should read it.
If you don't like zombies, then I don't know what to tell you. Zombies are awesome.

A package came from my mom today with these little owls inside.
I just love them.
I have really started building up a collection of owl things. Which I am absolutely fine with.

Today was also my audition for Second City.
It did not go well. Granted, it could have been a lot worse.
But it also could have been a lot better.

LOST-watching.

Tonight was the series finale of Lost.

Dan, Andi, & I hunkered down to enjoy the 2 1/2 hour event.

I really enjoyed it.

I especially enjoyed Target's Lost-themed ads.

Like this one...

Garcia's with Andi

Garcia's is really the only Mexican food I like in the city.
The nice thing about that is that it's located right by my house.
As often happens on Saturdays, I got a text from Andi asking if I wanted to go to late lunch.
Because we are too lazy to get up and go to the other ones room. I mean, it is Saturday.

Later Sketch had a rehearsal where we pitched some more sketch ideas and then turned around and put them into the show. 

There's a new set on the De Maat stage, which is great. 

The downside was that there's no light backstage yet. 

So between scenes you had to feel your way around using the walls. 

The good news is I only crashed into something once.
