Your father isn't here anymore." kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Just Say Yes Tue, 11 Jan 2011 13:30:21 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1752&msg_id=1754 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1752&msg_id=1752 January 8th Show I did not perform in this show, so I got to sit back with a beer and take some extensive notes, which was a good change! However, I'd first like to say that I thought this was a pretty excellent show, although Kristen (not of the Rutledge variety - Dugan) brought up a great point for the meeting we had yesterday - without clear vision, she hasn't given a shit about the quality of the improv, she just got on stage to have fun. I think that aptly describes the show: good on fun, short on improv. Now that I've indicated I'm sitting in a tower, I'll go game by game: Intro: I thought the intro was a little weird, as it felt like it came out of nowhere. I think a better music ramp-up would have helped (more energy), or music going on at a low volume in the background instead of crickets, then played more loudly as the players enter. Fine delivery, John, but it felt like the audience wasn't ready and it got kinda awkward. Way to push through. Beastiality Rap: Game went over fine, although you definitely have to kill it for a team when someone in the audience says, "That was a stretch." But with teams, the audience got into - great! Specific references during the game were also awesome. Freeze-Tag: This game could have used a bit better pacing (faster), but it had some great moments from Kristen and Eric. Growing/Shrinking Machine: This game ramped up perfectly, but the ramp down lagged and killed the energy. Not bad overall. Ryan turning Warrens negativity to a positive ("Yeah, cuz I'm you're bitch.") was a great save. First Line/Last Line: Very good ask-fors and explanation by host to keep energy. However, this was the weakest game of the night. Talking heads with no objective but zingers is not good improv (although Eric can pound out zingers). Also good job by host bringing up energy after a game didn't go over so well.
