I've used this cliche title because I have so much to say, it could fill a newspaper. I would call it the bi-weekly herald, and it would be loved by all who read it.

Alright, down to business. First things first, welcome to all those in inter-net land, and for those of you joining us from intra-net land, a special hello. If you are joining us from ether-net land, and you're wondering why all your fish are passing out, I would look to the ether. That joke could have also gone in a different direction if instead of the hydrocarbon I took ether to mean the place beyond the Earth's atmosphere, a.k.a. the heavens. But I'm not sure how that joke would go.

Alright, second point of business, which stems nicely from Arlen's most recent post. I purchased a kitten a couple of weeks ago. Her name is Pickle, a.k.a. Pick Le, Southpaw, White tip and Kitty Kunga Katoo the Queen of the Cats. She fills my day with play and naps, and for this, I love her. I will add a picture of her.

Now you might be wondering "Which Young Guns show is Pickle referring to?" Well, the answer to that would be "Both of them." Yes, that's right, if you were concerned that your weekly improv diet did not have enough Young Guns in it, and you really did want to have to take a supplement, I've got the cure for you. This Friday, May 19th, at 8pm at the Varscona theatre, Rapid Fire Theatre is proud to present one of our fine Prime Time shows. It will feature a Theatre Sports first half AND The Young Guns kickin' it old school in the second half. In this case, the old school to which we will kick refers to the format of show we will be doing, it's going to be a sweet sweet mash-up of some monologues and a little thing we call Maslows. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you gots to check it out, and if you do know what I'm laying down, well I KNOW you'll be checkin' it. Also, for that Prime Time show we are rockin' a sweet deal where if you bring your mom (or aunt, or grandma or any female who has kids) they get in for free, and if you are a female who has kids, then you get in for free. Finally having children has some benefits.

But Joe, you said "both of them" does that mean there is more than one show? "Yes self-posed question, there is." The very next day, Saturday May 20th at 11pm, the Young Guns will be in the second half of CHiMPROV and oh man do we have a show. We are going petal-to-the-metal and balls-to-the-walls because we are going to rock out a new friggin' format, and the best part is, this new format is like 5 new formats in one. It will be the single most beautiful event in the history of humanity. Even more beautiful than that bag in American Beauty, remember that bag's beauty? This show will be at least 100 times more beautiful. It will test our skills as improvisers and your souls as audience members. Why are we taking such a risk you might ask, because this looks to be the last Young Guns show before Rapid Fire Theatre's Annual Improv Tournament: IMPROVAGANZA! More on that bad boy at a later time.

For now, all you gotta know is written above, and by above I mean the words literally above these ones, remember those big paragraphs? I don't mean above as in the stars, those are just giant balls of gas burning lightyears away, they won't tell you anything about the Young Guns.

Joe
