Twitter

So I am absolutely terrible at updating this blog.

Wanna know what I'm not terrible at updating?

My twitter account.

Gonna say I'm lame cuz I have a twitter account?

Oh really, well do you think Ashton Kutcher, Jimmy Fallon, and Kim Kardashian are lame? All of them have twitter accounts.

Still wanna call me lame?

I thought so.

Follow me!

My Album Cover

This is great fun.

Band and Album Generator:

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

I found this generator by facebook stalking my friend AJ, I'm not sure if he invented it or found it or what. All I know is that my new band 'Common Wheat' has got themselves an album cover....and nothing else.

ECNY awards

So, the ECNY Awards were last night. 

If you are a person reading this blog, friends with me on facebook, have ever given me your email address, or have made eye contact with me within the past month then you already know that BriTANicK was nominated for 'Best Sketch Comedy Group'. 

Turns out we did not win. Huge congrats to Derrick, who did win, there's not a group we would have rather come in second place to. (some of you might say that there is only one winner, and four losers. You might say that there is no determination of an order in which nominees place. I then, might say to you, "Suck it.")

We did, however, have a great ol' time at the show. We got to hang out in a room filled with a bunch of people we respect, most of whom spent most of the show making fun of the fact that the ECNY awards actually exist. 

This Wednesday at 9:30pm we're performing in A-Side/B-Side at UCB. The idea is to perform one sketch that is a tried and true crowd pleaser and then another sketch that is risky and inappropriate. Brian and I have decided to write two brand new sketches. As of now, we have not written them yet. WE HAVE TO FIND A BETTER WAY OF WORKING.

a couple things

Alright, it's been a while since I've posted anything so here we go.

Let's do this together everyone.

The run of the new BriTANicK show starts February 20th at UCB. Come and see it. Do it. Seriously.

It was great fun to write and has been even more fun to perform. If you saw us perform it in January, come back because there's a few changes we're making.

Speaking of this new show, we performed it at the Chicago Sketchfest and got a few reviews written about us. Check them out here and here.

It's currently down to me and ONE other fella for a teeny part in a new Meryl Streep movie. The character has 5 lines, but all of them are spoken directly to Meryl Streep and during three of them I would get to pretend I'm drunk. I don't know this other guys name, where he lives, or the best way to kill him so there's literally nothing I can do about it.

Everytime the phone rings my heart does a somersault.

I'm gonna start writing more blogs. I just decided that right now.

Alright, that wasn't so hard. Good job all around.
