Improv Connections
2008-04-15 20:37:00 by Jill of CornwallisI believe it was Del Close who said that the characters you play are loosely draped over you like a trench coat. It?s true, when you?re on stage you get to play the best (and sometimes worst) versions of yourself. Yesterday I received a Missed Connection from someone who was at one of two shows Cornwallis did at the Theater on Saturday (if you?re not familiar with Missed Connections, they?re a sort of anonymous personal ads people post on Craig?s List or in the Reader if they want to try and get in touch with a stranger they had an encounter with. You can see mine here.) This Missed Connection made me think about the characters I had played in each of the shows, and wonder which one this person may have felt some sort of bond with. Was it the Doctor dealing with an extreme OCD patient? The anorexic woman that was bench-pressed to death by her friend? The co-ed who played Twister? How much of my real self and my true personality came through these performances? W...
Improv Everywhere?s Coolest Sketch Yet (IMHO)
2008-04-12 22:33:00 Improv Everywhere is a group based in New York City that gathers people to gether to cause “scenes of chaos and joy in public places.” Some of their events include getting 200 people to all stop at the same time at Grand Central Station, for five minutes. They also put together a musical in a mall’s food court. But my favorite video from them so far has to be the one below, where they turn a little league ball game into a major league event. glumbert - Best Game Ever You can find all of their videos here.

Improv Everywhere: What if you took your DESKTOP computer to Starbucks and
2008-04-09 19:18:00 Well these guys do it. It's pretty funny. They all keep straight faces and there's a video of their exploits. Improv Everywhere has a bunch of other "missions" they undertake. One of the coolest is when they descend on a normal little league game with a crowd of fans for both teams, real NBC announcers, a jumbotron, mascots and the flippin' Goodyear blimp. The players and coaches and families were not in on the joke, they merely get the best game ever.

Improv Everywhere
2008-02-12 09:31:00 Improv Everywhere causa escenas de caos y alegrÃa en lugares públicos. Creado en agosto de 2001 por Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere ha ejecutado al rededor de 70 misiones que involucran miles de agentes secretos. El grupo tiene su base en la Ciudad de Nueva York. Os dejo un par de videos con sus dos últimas acciones, en este primer video podemos ver la última acción de este colectivo, 207 personas se “congelaron” durante cinco minutos en la estación de Grand Central de Nueva York ante la atónita mirada de las personas que pasaban en esos momentos por la estación. En este segundo video podemos ver como 2000 personas se pasearon sin pantalones el dÃa 12 de Enero por las calles de algunas ciudades. Enlace: Improv Everywhere

Improv Everywhere: The NYC Freeze
2008-02-02 22:30:00 I am all about productivity. I do whatever I can to get as much done as I can, whenever I can. One of the things I am most self-conscious about is that once in a while, in the course of pursuing efficiency, I allow my life to become monotonous. My daily occupations become almost mechanical, and they lose any meaning and joy that they might have brought me in the first place. So I try to change things up once in a while. Not for the sake of change, but to keep my life fresh, and to keep my chores as enjoyable and important to me as they were the very first time.I Dugg up a group of people who apparently share my philosophy. Improv Everywhere is a hodgepodge of people from all walks of life who join together on about a monthly basis with the mission of "causing chaos and joy in public places.""In the process we bring excitement to otherwise unexciting locales and give strangers a story they can tell for the rest of their lives. We?re out to prove that a prank doesn?t have to involve h...

“Monday Morphosis” 7 ways to improve your children’s mini
2007-11-12 21:45:00 Our RCC Promiseland services last Sunday ended up great, but they didn’t start out that way. So as I am reflecting on last Sunday I thought, what would be a basic list of seven things that could be done to make anyones children’s- ministry services run more smoothly. 1. Don’t run your children’s ministry in a vacuum.  Many children’s ministries focus too heavily on very specific role based information. We only give the information to the people working solely in that position. I will admit this really takes a total paradigm shift in our thinking as a ministry. But we need to give more broad information to everyone in our ministries so that the regular attenders and guests can be helped by everyone that they may come into contact with, during services. 2. Determine exactly how you want your volunteers to give ”Cu-stomer Service” to those attending your services. Looking back on past children’s ministry services, I see that we...

If you have something to say to Pirate fans or an idea on improving the club, send it to us using the email link on the right sidebar. Each Sunday we'll post the best of the best right here. BC submitted the following letter November 2cd: -- start guest column -- I was reading Nate Silver's article at BP on a "Wins" budget - where you set a target number of victories, and then build towards that goal at the least cost. If the Pirates goal is 85 wins (definitely enough to compete in this division), it would take about an extra 120 VORP. It could be spread roughly 50 hitting, 50 pitching, 20 defense. First, identify the holes. In season they did a good job of improving the bench. There were quite a few less negative VORP guys in 07 than in 06. Trade Nady, Bautista, LaRoche. We have Pearce. Get 2b, rf (prefer lefty), 4 & 5 starters. Strive for no one in lineup below avg in offense or defense. CF...

Welcome home Improving the chances of finding your lost pet
2007-11-10 09:26:00 Losing a pet is traumatic for the animal and its owner. A lost dog or cat faces a world full of uncertainty and danger, one of possible injury, starvation or death. Pet owners, many of whom have never lost a pet before, may wonder if they will ever be reunited. Two studies published in the Jan. 15, 2007, issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA) contain valuable information for mounting a successful search for a dog or cat that has wandered from home. The original studies, the first of their kind according to the authors and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), were conducted by a team of veterinarians and researchers from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Columbus, Ohio. According to the studies, the chances of making the family whole again improve if owners make sure their pet is wearing identification tags and if they call or visit a local animal agency soon after the pet is lost. The studies' authors hop...

Improving Credit Score Through A Bad Credit Auto Loan
2007-11-09 09:25:00 Tip! Sometimes if you can find a good co-signer to help with a bad credit auto loan, this might be your ticket into that new car. The co-signer has to have great credit because they are responsible for making the loan payments if you don’t. In past your loan applications have been rejected, because of your bad credit score. A bad credit score can happen because of various reasons like default in repayments of previous loans or a county court judgment going against you. The good news for people with bad credit score is that they can improve their credit score by taking a bad credit auto loan. Since a bad credit auto loan is a collateral loan there are good chances of approval with some exploration and efforts. A bad credit auto loan is a loan provided to consumers with poor credit history. As the lender is at high risk, the interest charged and other fees are higher when compared with other auto loans. Apart from that, there is lot of sweating out to be done to get a bad credit... |
