Sketchwar is an online weekly sketch-writing group. Every week, participants write comedy sketches about that week's topic; at the end of the week, we read each other's sketches, comment, and perhaps bicker about who wrote the best sketch that week. If you're interested in participating, this page has information about how to throw a sketch into the ring, as well as the schedule of upcoming topics (next week's topic is, appropriately enough, "Thanksgiving").
This week's Sketch War topic was "Freshman Year".
( "Major Decisions" )

Boilerplate bit: with merciful rarity, I'll play a song I like on my old acoustic, record it on my home-recording setup, and post it to the blog. You can see earlier entries here, or subscribe to these as a podcast (click here if you use iTunes).
If I ever had any music cred (and no, I didn't), now's the time I get to watch it all go up in flames:
#46. Hall and Oates - You Make My Dreams

Oop-la -- just realized two things:
(1) I haven't yet posted the information about when & where to see the Improvised Dickens show, because
(2) I am a forgetful doofus.
Here's the basic 411:
When: 8pm on Saturdays in November and December[1]
Where: The Hideout, at 617 Congress Ave.
How Much: $10
For more information, you can go to the web site or join the facebook group.
For those of you keen on seeing me in the show, I'm scheduled to appear this Saturday (the premiere) and on 11/21/09 (which, as part of Wafflefest, includes free waffles). When I know the December schedule, I'll pass it on.
______
[1] In December, there will also be 6pm shows on Saturdays.

Patrick added this comment to a previous Dickens post, and I thought I'd repost it because I thought it was interesting.

This past Tuesday we had another rehearsal for the Dickens show. The show opens November 6th, so it's crunch time now. Fortunately, all the elements we've been rehearsing this month are coming together nicely.
