New Video, The Dinner, and one last chance to see Undercover Lover!

Opportunities abound if you’re the kind of person who likes to see AWOK members in non-AWOK shows.

First, there’s one more weekend to see Mike Still in Undercover Lover. Click here for details and ticketing. That’s this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and tickets are $15.

Secondly, you can catch AWOK member Erica Harsch, and long-suffering AWOK tech helper Matt Little performing in The Dinner, a play by Libby Leonard.
Part of a night of one-act plays at Studio Dante:
257 W. 19th St, between 6th and 7th Avenues
Click here to reserve online. Tickets are $20.

Finally, it’s Dr. Schebb’s, part III! This is the conclusion of what critics have been calling the Trapped in the Cloest of New York Sketch Comedy.

Spared No Expense

Ok, two different ads I’ve seen on television today have used the same Garage Band loops that I used to make the lizard/moth segment of the Nature Footage sketch. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you’d best see Barnyard Jamboree. Mark your calendars for 12/10 and/or 12/17)

One of them is for the Chubb Institute, one of New York’s fine trade schools.

The other is for Mike Bloomberg’s mayoral campaign. His $65+ million mayoral campaign which culminates in the elections tomorrow.

Now, these are free-to-use, no-royalties loops, so neither Chubb, nor Bloomsy, nor Apple, nor I have infringed upon each other, so no harm done. But it still makes me happy to know that, somewhere inside that bloated campaign budget is a couple thousand bucks that some Mac geek got paid for the 5 minutes of work it took to score that campaign ad. I hope he or she didn’t tell anybody how easy it was.

Speaking of solo projects… BLOG!

For those of you who miss Dan’s detailed sardonic musings about music, movies, and sports (which I assume is all of you), don’t worry, they still exist! Check out Dan’s blog, Internet Follies, at internetfollies.blogspot.com for hilariousness updated daily.

It’s like a Week of Kindness show without having to deal with the rest of the group! Like the band Wings, or Slash’s Snakepit, or Bowie’s Tin Machine, or Geddy Lee’s solo album. Basically, history is due for a good solo project, so visit the blog, check out Mike’s musical, and upcoming standup from Nate and Dan!

Dr. Schebb’s, Part One

This is part one of the three-part epic that we like to call the Schebb Saga. Stay tuned for the rest.

Also, from this point on, you’ll notice that all of our new videos will come optimized to play on those fancy new iPods they just put out, so if you’d rather download it than stream it, right-click here. We will also begin in coming weeks to fix up our old videos for that purpose too. All files will still play in Quicktime, just like always.

UPDATE: We realized that looked kind of crappy, so we recompressed and reposted. It looks good now.
