Location: Hollywood, Ca
Cost: 5$
As you all know by now I put off things for as long as possible. As a fan of the sketch show the Upright Citizens Brigade I have been wanting to visit the UCB theatre in LA for some time now. Sadly I have had little motivation to actually get off my ass. It took 30dayla to motivate me to look online, reserve tickets, and make the drive over to hollywood. In the end the show was only five bucks and hilarious.
I went to a improv show called Myspace staring an assorted group of people from VH1s Best Week Ever and every other commerical that is on TV these days. To create the skits they took 3 audience members with myspace accounts and created various scenes based on the information in their profiles. Rather than just talking shit about the people who came up, they actually managed to create elaborate skits based on single lines from a person's myspace account. Hilarious stuff and a pretty amazing concept I must say.
My favorite part of the show was when the third guy came up from the audience. From the way he walked I could already tell he was going to be a huge douchebag and his myspace profile only confirmed my initial perception. I believe his favorite quote exemplified douchebagery by saying, " I do what I want when I want, nothing can hold me back Bro Ham. blah blah random jock comment blah blah blah I'm a douche blah blah Im 30 years old and proud of the fact that I bake cookies for a living and still think im a frat boy at SDSU". It made me proud to see the actors completely mock him for the remainder of the show. Good times. Well worth much more than the 5 dollars I paid. Im definately going to look for more shows at the theatre. I bet there are great shows like this all over LA that I have yet to check out, so its time for me to get off my ass once again and explore.
Final Note: Eat at Bossa Nova my favorite restaurant in LA (good Brazilian food). I got dinner there on night 3 and it reminded me of how amazing that place is.
