Dutch Blitzkrieg on TV

February 2, 2010

We had an appearance last night on BCTV (local cable channel) on the Berks Arts Council show with Connie Leinbach. It was a great appearance. She did some interviewing and then we played three ‘games’ Emotional Symphony, Instead of (I was the guesser) and What Cha Doing? They all went well and the folks in [...]

Odd Week

August 5, 2009

This has been a really odd week. I was exhausted after working 10+ hours on Saturday (First time I’ve worked a Saturday in at least five years) and that surprised me. I used to work 7 days a week at the steel mill and never was so tired after a shift. Deb and I then [...]

People Academy and Dutch Blitzkrieg both exploding!

July 24, 2009

I don’t usually talk business so much on this blog, at least not in the ‘traditional’ type business sense. (meaning I talk about my comedy and acting and all that, but not items/info for sale)
But I have to say I am pretty exciting about all the stuff that is going on with The People Academy, [...]

In Chicago, Second City Awaits

June 28, 2009

We arrived in Chicago after a long road trip, twelve hours total driving time, plus a bit for stops, eats, etc. I got maybe an hours sleep but not really solid sleep. Sitting up, neck bent at an angle, looking like the trap under my kitchen sink, I can feel that kink now in the [...]

Ackroyd, Steve Martin, Czech brothers and Dutch Blitzkrieg

June 23, 2009

We had a Dutch Blitzkrieg practice last night and I have to say it was one of the best ones ever. (missed Andi, sorry she wasn’t there, but still) Really great high energy and funny as heck.
We decided (by we I mean Jo) to try new accents and we mostly stayed in them, even between [...]

Slumdog Millionaire & Return of the Amish Oracle

June 1, 2009

Last night we finally watched Slumdog Millionaire and I have to say I was not really impressed. Why was this film the darling of the Oscars? I’m not saying I didn’t like it, but it was just OK. On the bright side, I didn’t pay for the rental. Steph and Zack had friends spend the [...]

Inside an Improv Workshop

May 21, 2009

Last night I conducted an improv training session for a youth group that is mentored/supervised by my friend Amber. She is always looking for something different and, of course, positive for them to do. She brings in guest speakers and group activity coordinators who conduct sessions lasting between an hour and an hour and a [...]

Have you ever been in a situation where you had to blurt out an answer in a hurry, and either the wrong thing came out or nothing came out at all? It’s a situation we have all been in at one time or another in our lives.
How do you remedy that situation? [...]

A New Hope – Second City and the Return of Boy Wonder

May 11, 2009

We had a great rehearsal Sunday (yesterday) although I was late. (a rare occurance)
I was riding out along 422 when my motorcycle started acting funny. Seemed like there might be a short in the wiring or something. It would run fine and then sputter and then catch and take off. I debated turning around, and [...]
