TONIGHT: Hammerkatz IMPROV right by NYU
TONIGHT, a team of Hammerkatz NYU alumna and current students (Donald, Fran, myself) will be performing longform improv comedy in the style taught by the Upright Citizens Brigade. Behold: HAMMERKATZ IMPROV.
Details:
Red Room (above KGB Bar)
85 E 4th btw 2nd and 3rd
Here's a map!
10:30 PM
Five Bucks
Also performing is Best Boy, featuring Hammerkatz founder AJ Morales. They're an awesome group that performs completely improvised movies.
If you've never seen improv before, or you have nothing to do between the hours of 10:30 and midnight, or this will be BETTER than what you have planned between the hours of 10:30 and midnight ('cause it will), show up.
Also: BYOB! You cannot beat brown bagging a forty and watching comedy. So stop trying.

HKATZNYU facebook group is OPEN
The Hammerkatz NYU facebook group is open for bizness. Join! The benefits of membership are as such:
- More exposure to people's pictures, movie, and music preferences for you to judge them by
- More chances of meeting people for awkward, ill-advised, Facebook-inspired hook-ups
- Poking. What is poking? We're not sure either.
Search for "Hammerkatz" under "Search All Fields." Fuckin' join!

parapluie-revel
at rehearsal tonight for the september show (9/24), i was told to post some pics from our trip to syracuse last semester .. but first a little backstory.
so we went to syracuse university and participated in a comedy festival and our host was mr. belding from "saved by the bell" - yeah that's right.. although he was about twice his 'belding' size and still toooootally playing off his one successful gig.
so right before we go on to perform, he's backstage with all the performers giving us a pep talk - and he's like "this night is about you guys, let's go kick some ass" - what follows is an evening of him reminiscing about his days on "bell" and promising the audience that he would "give you all his autograph after the show" (which he did).. we did an awesome set that night but belding was the really funny one - and when i say funny, i mean sad - very, very sad.
so now, the pics!
Top Picture: Matt, Lauren, Belding (as he looks now), Donald, DC, Harry
Middle Picture: Trip up to Syracuse - DC and Donald in the back.. i got shotgun :)
Bottom Picture: Belding's autograph opportunity - a memento we will cherish forever. Does he have a real name?

soooo...
so basically, DC, you're going to buy an ice cream for yourself.. twice?
in other news. i have a confession to make. i am having a love affair. it began a few years ago but recently (this summer) it got pretty intense. now that i am in this relationship, i have a lot less time, and money, but it's going well and i'm entirely faithful. we see each other usually a few times every week. sometimes we see each other too many times in one week and then there's nothing there that interests me.
before you think i'm heartless, i must tell you that my lover is the strand bookstore, which i frequent so often (really only the plays section) that there is often no new merchandise for me to browse through. today was an especially good day though.. i made out very well, scoring two anthologies - Eugene O'Neill and Sam Shepard, and The Rimers of Eldritch by Lanford Wilson.
now if only i had the time to read them.. sigh. off to boring reading (aka academic textbooks)...

hey you!
today i was recognized on the street by someone who saw the orientation show the other day. a girl stopped me and goes "hey are you in the hammernats? you were really good." i politely told her it was katz and said thank you and as i walked away i couldn't help but think how funny our logo would look if we were the hammernats instead of the hammerkatz, because i mean, could a nat really hold a hammer in its mouth? i don't THINK so.

i heart the strand
so, i'm not gonna lie, i'm one of those girls who kept "journals" (aka diaries) for pretty much her whole life. i valued the privacy that they allowed me and i keep them safely in my basement bookshelf at home in PA, where i suppose now anyone could read them if they really wanted to hear the silly things i wrote in elementary and middle school. (the post-middle school ones are kept safely with me)
i've flitted around with the online journal thing.. because let's be honest, it's much easier to type than it is to hand-write an entry.. and who has time for the decoration that makes a handwritten journal truly unique? for most of this summer though i did the old fashioned journal thing and only now am i coming around to, once again, see the benefits of "blogging" ... (although in cyberland you can't cut out prophetic sayings from magazines and gluestick them next to your entry... you know you do it girls) but i must say that one of the best things about a technologically-run journal is that instead of some clipping from a victoria's secret ad campagin saying "we wholeheartedly support your love affair" or something ridiculous like that (okay that's really in my journal) i can now paste next to my entry... this..
hell yeah.
