Chicago improv was very very funny tonight, despite the startling lack of Andrew Carlson of Mama's Pot Roast fame. Of course, I didn't actually track down the venue at which he is doing improv (I don't even know if he is still in Chicago), I just went to ImprovOlympics on a random night and expected to see him. He should cater to my improv-related whims.
Overheard:
Improv guy: "Can I get a emotion you felt today at 10 AM?"
Audience Member One: "Hungry!"
Audience Member Two: "Sleepy!"
Audience Member Three: "Boredom!"
Me: "Sex orgy!"
Audience Member behind me: "What?"
That's all for you, Steve-o. For those of you who have no idea what's going on, go here and read Steve's guest post Improv This!. It's just a little bit down the page. Try searching for "improv" if you are lazy. All will be illuminated.
In other news, you know you are in Boystown when the Walgreens has a large display entirely devoted to lube, in quantities up to and including 35 oz. vats of lube with a little soap-like dispenser. Honestly, who needs lube in 35 oz. quantities? I wouldn't even buy a 35 oz. bottle of sunscreen for all my friends to use for a week at the beach. For those of you who can't estimate volumes well, a 35 oz. bottle is roughly 1 foot by 3 inches by 1 inch. Some people are apparently having all the fun.
