So, I guess my last post wasn't very popular, (based on the fact that it received zero comments) so I'll try again.

It's like this friendlies, due to some scheduling whatevers, the Young Guns have been asked to pick up some improv slack this weekend and the next. What this means for you is a whole LOT of the youngest guns around, and even some Young Guns performing in their other troupes. So, check this out.

Tomorrow, Saturday September 30th You'll get a double dose of Arlen as CHiMPROV has it's foundation rocked by the wicked combo of YOUNG GUNS and SCRATCH.

Then, next weekend the 6th and 7th of October RFT puts on 4 shows in 1 weekend (I know, the math boggles the mind!) 2 PRIMETIME SHOWS!

Friday, October 6th PRIMETIME: The first half will feature a little TheatreSports action where at least one Young Gun will tickle you just right with some short-form improv hilarity, then in the second half, you loved them at the Fringe, you loved them just the week before, now it's their turn to love YOU, if you've got an itch, now is your chance to SCRATCH it! Bam! We only give your sides 6 days to recover from their splitting injury before you will no doubt need to return to the ER.

Friday, October 6th TheatreSports: Oh, you know the Young Guns will be representing.

Saturday, October 7th PRIMETIME: We're like Eminem in this hizzy in the fact that we are back, back again, guess whose back, (no it's not shady) it's the motha-friggin' YOUNG GUNS! Sure to destroy the second half of the Primetizzle show, bring your parents, bring your friends, heck, bring your friends' parents and their friends, we'll take you all on, with comedy!

Then, that very seem evening of the 7th of October, at CHiMPROV it's the season premiere of CRAZY NAME. What's so crazy about a name anyway? You'll have to come by and see.

So, you might be thinking to yourself, with so much Young Gun in the next two weeks, there couldn't possibly be a down-side to this. Well, unfortunately there is. Because RFT is serving us up so much, so quick, we aren't scheduled to rock the CHiMP again until December.

So, think of these next two weeks as your chance to fatten up before you hibernate for the winter, because I mean, hey! We're all mammals here right? Unless your gaddamn lizard got out of this cage again and is checkin' out our blog. In which case, I say: "Hey Lizard! Round up all your reptile and amphibian friends and come check out TheatreSports tonight and CHiMPROV tomorrow, call for reservations: 448-0695. Go lizard! Do it now!

I don't check in with the blog in, like, 2 days, and look at what it has become...

And you might ask: why didn't you check in on your blog? The answer would be: Because I thought Julian was an adult a.k.a. could keep it in his pants, but then I see the comments section of the last post.

We are like 2 posts away from some filthy filthy chat, with the all the innuendos and false identities flying around this place you would think it was "Innuendos n False Identities R Us" over here.

Well, not anymore, I am putting an end to it right now.

I'm gonna give this place the cold shower it so desperately needs. Joe-Style.

I'll give you the old one-two combo: Science and Religion.

First the left jab of science:

Planck's Quantum Hypothesis
Have you ever thought: How does the intensity of light emitted from an incandescent object (glowing object) depend on the frequency of the light emitted?

An ideal incandescent object is called a blackbody. A blackbody is a perfect absorber of all frequencies. A spectrum analysis of the radiation emitted from a blackbody shows that the intensity of the radiation emitted depends on both the frequency of the radiation emitted and the temperature of the object.

In 1900, Max Planck derived an equation that described blackbody radiation; however, to derive this equation Planck had to propose a hypothesis that was extremely radical. Planck's hypothesis was that an oscillator including vibrating atoms and molecules is quantized - that is, can only have certain values. The energies allowed are given by:
E = nhf
Where E = Energy
n = whole number
h = Planck's constant (6.63x10^34 J.s)
f = frequency of vibration

Planck's hypothesis was the beginning of the quantum theory.

So that was the jab, and now to follow up with the right hook of God:

From the gospel of Luke: The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold

In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. Both of them were upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commandments and regulations blamelessly. But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren; and they were both well along in years.

Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth. Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years."

The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time."

Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.

When his time of service was completed, he returned home. After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. "The Lord has done this for me," she said. "In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people."

Alright, so I think that should do it for now, I certainly hope we have all learned a thing or two, and maybe now this blog does not have to become a den of sin and pleasure.

Joe (I'm serious)

Or am I?

Now you may find yourself thinking, what could that title possibly mean? What is (finally) here? Well, you bunch of silly gooses and goosettes, it's the 2006 CHiMPROV season. Yes, it has been 2 long months without CHiMPROV, and even longer since the last Young Guns show, so we won't keep you waiting any longer...

CHiMPROV! TONIGHT! VARSCONA THEATRE! 11PM! YOUNG! GUNS!

Make sure you're not left standing outside while your friends are having their freakin' brains blown away by brain-blowin'-away comedy inside, call 448-0695 for reservations, and we'll see you tonight.

We'll sell you a ticket for the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!

If Scarface was funny! (and had a cast of chimps...)

The Royal Tenenbaums never looked so good!

Greetings!

I'm writing this from Ft. McMurray. Why you ask? I have left Edmonton for good to sup from the flank of wealth that grows plump here in the land of oil.

I'm ACTUALLY here because we have completed shooting Losing Will and now Mike and I are back in the Mac for a week to finish all the editing and write tons of music and work with our sound guy Justin to make things look and sound as excellent as they can. We have been here two days and they have been jam packed full of movie magic. By this weekend we will have a very rough cut of the movie that the Young Guns and Mike shall watch on Sunday night. After that we will continue to tighten everything and keep working on sound as it really makes or breaks independent films. I think we also need to talk about when and where we plan to release it.

Also! As you know this weekend is the infamous Soap-A-Thon that Die-Nasty puts on every year. I did it last year and it was a true blast and a half. And a blast from the past. Brendan Fraser dropped by. BUT this year, at midnight on Friday, the Young Guns will be joining the Soap-A-Thon for not one, not two, not three, but four hours! So come check it out midnight Friday till 4 in the morning Saturday. I can't wait. Last year Jules and I came up with a couple funny characters together so hopefully this year, combined with Joe, we can top it.

Alright, back to editing!

Arlen

Arlen and I took a trip to L.A. last weekend to meet up with our good friend and yours, Josh Dean. We did improv at the Ventura Improv Festival. We ate lots of food. We had fun in general.

Here are some pictures... Hooray!

Here is the Car josh owns, it's nice and the roof goes down! Yippy!

That's me jumping. I look cool. Boing!

The First thing Arlen said when we got there was "So this is New York City?!" Oh Arlen... ZING!

This is Josh jumping. Oh, by the way, josh is a ghost now. Boo-oing!

This is Arlen and I trying to look cool. Mission Accomplished! Words!

That's all, Bye!!!
