How to have a successful Guitar Hero party

1. Start by inviting your bestest friends. I recommend one of your improv troupes. In this case, I invited The Hypothetical 7. Begin the evening with snacks and rocking out with the early birds who show up before time to get a little practice in. In this case, it was Tiffany.
2. Epic battles are crucial. Note the fierce competition between Zak and Patrick to see who gets to pick the song.
3. Keep everyone entertained while the epic battles are happening. I recommend beer, popcorn, and the game of Life.
4. Don't forget to try to get everyone into a shot at the same time. Especially if you can't possibly back up enough to capture it. Make everyone show you what a good time they're having. Hey, guys, smile if you're having fun!
5. Deep conversations about nothing are crucial. Note how the popcorn bowl is empty at this point.
6. In case you should get bored with Guitar Hero after a while, break out the DDR. If Dance Dance Revolution should prove too hard, get a friend to help.
7. If DDR should prove too difficult even with a friend, get two others and just cheat your way through expert level. That's it! You're doing it! Nobody moves like you!

Weezer my love

Okay, so I feel super duper lame for doing this, but......I saw this video on a fellow improviser's blog *nods at Jared* and this is pretty much the best video, like, ever right now. It combines two of my favorite things-Weezer and time wasting viral videos. Seriously, watch this. Especially if you liked the episode of South Park about viral vids.

50 worst album covers of all time

Bryan, formerly of H7, passed this along via the e-mail chain. I thought it was hillarious and as a reward, I'm passing the funny on to youuuuuuuu! (think car salesman commercial) Enjoy, y'all!

Improv blog topic: Warmups

My opinion is this, and this is very basic: Warmups are necessary. It doesn't matter how much experience you have as an individual or as a group. Each time you come together the mood of the group is different due to outside influences. Warmups not only put you in the correct mindset (I am here to work/play, I am turning my brain on random) but they also help you figure out what your group dynamic at that exact moment in time is, so you can live in that exact moment in time. Also, it's a good time to goof off and be silly with your fellow teammates, which creates trust and camaraderie-necessary for any great troupe.
