Current Mood: excited
Current Music: "V8er Boi" by The Andy Ober Orchestra

Look who made it into the Journal and Courier:

Comedy and music

Purdue University's answer to "Weird Al" Yankovic will perform this weekend.

The musical comedy group Andy Ober Orchestra will perform with Ship of Fools, a long-standing Purdue improvisational comedy troupe, from 8 to 10 p.m. Friday at Matthews Hall, Room 210, on Purdue campus. Admission is free.

The Andy Ober Orchestra has original songs like "You're the Bursar," and it parodies tunes like "Pi Pi Pi" from NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" and "All the Music Sounds the Same," the group's take on the Cheers theme song.

The Ship of Fools' portion of the program will be improv games similar to Whose Line Is It Anyway? For the rest of the semester, the Fools meet from 7 to 9 p.m. every Friday at Beering Hall, Room 2280. The public is invited to watch the games or try their own hand at performing.

Special thanks to newly-inducted SoF member Alex "SOG" Semchuck for the press release!

    Do you guys ever record your shows? If you do you should put them up on YouTube or something.

    We've had a number of recordings...unfortunately, most are on VHS, and we're [slowly] working on getting them on the web. Google video didn't like us so much.

    Additionally, improv videos probably aren't funny past the first time. Still, it's possible in the future- I will keep you posted (haha, "posted").

    You want my (useless) endorsement for your bid for President?

    Then someone is going to have to write a proper blog entry about the SoF / AOO show so that those of me that couldn't attend can read about it!
