OK, here's the full sketch we did on Sunday (see details in the next post), including the script text and funny images. Click on Selena to check it out.
Please forgive the formatting. It's a bitch getting stuff from Word to the Web without it looking like dog food. Hope you enjoy!
Oh, as a bonus, the sad tale of dead OmiePod1 is online, too.
Also, Space Monkeys! is on vacation this week and will return Monday.
Background: I worked with my friends Patty and Raul to write a sketch specifically for the Austin Latino Theatre Alliance Pachanga/fundraiser to benefit the annual La Pastorela holiday production. We did a stage sketch that made a joke out of Patty doing the show the first year, getting fed up with "two-bit community theater" and going to hollywood to be a star and then flopping in bad movies like Weekend at Selena's (I'll add the photo/slide PJ did when I can find it on his site).
Anyway, she makes a deal with the devil and we use the funds to buy her soul back. Then Patty says I should do the show with her this year and I turn into an asshole and say that I am a serious actOR and that I don't do community theater. Then we played this video, which was sort of the punchline. Remember when I said I was going to be embarrassing myself for a good cause? Well, here it goes.
We performed it today and the crowd seemed to like it. This is how I spent last week.
