GEVA COMEDY IMPROV ATTENDS OSCAR PARTY: ROCKS IT HARDCORE



This past Sunday, Geva Comedy Improv performed at the George Eastman House Academy Awards Party. Many laughs were laughed, glasses clinked and mini-quiches devoured; when the blinding flash-bulbs of the paparazzi faded, GCI brought the ruckous and carved the marble dance floor of the Conservatory into a sculpted mosaic of epic dance moves. Stay tuned for more pictures and updates from our glamorous evening with Oscar and Rochester's social elite.

Chutes and Explosions

Hey, John here. This past weekend some friends and I ventured to the majestic paradise known as Erie, PA. "Why would he drive close to three hours to visit such a soul-crushing place?" you may ask. The simple answer to that is.. Waterslides!!! Erie has one of the biggest indoor water-parks in this region of the country! They have a lot of great slides, as well as an arcade and a hot-tub for grown-ups (impoortant for those of us with a limited tolerance of children). of all the fun waterslides, though, one stood head and shoulders above the rest: Hurricane Hole. By far one of the most fun activities named after a naural disaster, the hurricane hole consists of a relatively straight tube leading downwards towards a bowl similar to that found in your common lavatory. after building up 40 mph in the tube, the rider is shot into the bowl where they careen in circles for about a half-minute until dropping out the bottom into a pool of water. Note Figure 1:


(Fig. 1)

Needless to say, plenty of fun was had at the water park. More good times were to be had, however, when on the way home we saw this sign on the side of the highway:



That's right! Fireworks and martial arts, baby! The actual name of the store is Fireworks and Karate Supplies, and the sign that actually hooked us (but was passed too fast to get a picture of) Read: Fireworks!! Swords, Knives, Pepper Spray and Stun Guns!!! Holy Geeze, that sign could only be better if it contained pornography and whip-its! I can see now that I've already surpassed my exclamation point quotient on this post, so I'll just sign off now.

Have a good one.

Paul Nellis unveils Nellis Pale Ale

Last Thursday evening, I invited the cast of GCI over to my apartment to watch LOST and try the new microbrew I made under my sink. Here is a photo of the cast enjoying the new brew.

The beer was cold and delicious. Pizza tasted better when it was washed down by this delicious brew. I made the beer using a Mr. Beer brewing kit that my brother gave me for Christmas. The beer fermented for about three weeks under my sink (which made it quite potent) and then another ten days of carbonating in the fridge. The result was simply to die for. I am currently planning for my next batch, which I believe will be a Nellis Lager.

Oh yeah, the new episode of LOST ruled!
