Due to an incredibly hectic weekend, this is the first we’ve gotten around to writing about the amazing night we had on Friday at the Arena Sketch Competition. So much thanks to James, Ed, the judges, everyone who came out, everyone at the Creek and the Cave, and our two great competitors (Missing Earl and Bedtime Brothers) for a ridiculously fun time.
In case you’re wondering, no, we didn’t win. We did receive the highest judge vote yet in the tournament! Or, at least, we had the highest vote until those Missing Earl jerks came and tied us and then beat us in the audience vote. Grumble grumble. Oh well, it’s a good thing they’re awesome.
We got some great feedback from everyone who was there, including a bunch of folks from Murderfist which is awesome as well as, of course, the judges (I believe it was Mike Still who said we had the best “interpretive dance sex scene” he’d seen which is exactly what we were going for). Also, I heard some guy in the audience say Izzie looks like Emma Stone which cracks me up because I’ve been saying that since Superbad came out.
All in all, it was a great night and we’ll let you know next time we hit the stage which, hopefully, should be very soon.
ps. If you’re curious, the image above comes from the video that was supposed to introduce one of the sketches by playing while we set up. Unfortunately the sound was the only thing that worked so no one got to see what Dave put together. I’d call it a loss except for the fact that one of the judges specifically cited our interesting use of audio inbetween sketches…
