KingLou Drops Science 2.0

Tonight Gunshow performed it's first show of 2007 as part of the show AcidTest. AcidTest is the show that my friends Ryan and Dustin produce a couple of times a month of some of NYC's best improv groups. The benefit of AcidTest for groups is that it's shot with at 3 camera setup and recorded, then converted to podcast. And according to Ryan the podcast has over 1000 subscribers. That pretty insane. Anyway, tonight was our official premiere on the show.

It was by far probably our best Gunshow in over a year. It was fun, loose and funny. And YES it was retardedly filth. There was fisting jokes, peeing and killing, too. But one thing that has been said about Gunshow before is that, if anything, we do crazy and dirty so well that it's not like we're using it as a crutch but rather just naturally as anything else. I use that compliment to cover my shame.

Basic show breakdown. - Suggestion "Promotion"
1) Ashley gives a guy a promotion. He wasn't more. Wants her job, too. He gets a prize.
2) 2 guys are peeing in a bathroom they must deal with a troll who lives there
3) a guy wins a free coke. Coke sends a guy to congratulate him and that guy kills everyone for no reason. Later the winner is getting an award. The award give disebowels himself.
4) A man is forced to choose between his fiances love and leaving forever. The test is to stick your arm in a tree that has a monster that will kill you. It bites him. Another man is bitten. In heaven Pete is complaining because this lady is leading to too many deaths.
5) A man complains about how no one puts people down at funerals. 2 men come forward to share horrible stories with the man about his dead mom.
6) I forget what happened but you can see it on the podcast!

After the show we went out for food. I hung out mainly with Trent and his lady friend, Dora. Being the dad of a 3 year old that name has connotations I am sure she doesn't care to hear for the umpteenth time. We ate and drank and I talked myself hoarse with my usual flair for filth. Good times. Ryan and I bonded over the fact that we did a scene that was basically ripped out of the early 80's sci-fi bomb Flash Gordon. I am pretty sure NO ONE knew what the fuc we were doing but I knew exactly what the hell was going on 5 words into the scene. "Oh this is that weird tree with the monster in it. okay!"

I ended the night with a train ride home watching the Office on my iPod. The audio is out of sync in an annoying way so I just watch the show generally and don't look at the mouths.
