I didn't see all of the shows... but here's a bit.

Rrrrrockets second group game was delightful!
Here is some paraphrasing:
Eli: But I just got new shorts!
McKeel: I got permission from all of your parents, except you Mindy - get out!

Sam Riegal to Eli as Porno director: I got a big dick... (points to heart) in here!


Optimist International:

Terry Jinn Inititates: You've got a bad attitude.
Amy Rhodes replies: Fuck you!

Jack McBrayer, as the stupidest man alive, getting into his car and still not noticing that Gethard is hiding in there: Oh, hello! I usually sit there (climbs onto his lap).

Also as the stupidest man alive: Time to take a shower and stick my dick in everything!

Hooray for the new space!

Syndicate:

Dan: ...hmm, let's see.... I'm just trying to come up with the right metaphor to break up with you.

Eric: (as a religious man stranded in the forest with his wife, who wants to have sex) We barely have enough food ... you shouldn't sin, because my condemning you requires a lot of energy.

Rrrrrockets

Jeff (on behalf of the group): We're the Rrrrrockets! We need a suggestion, so we can blast off!

Eli (as a monkey prison warden): Lights out, you monkeys!

Oliver: (explaining how he used to treat women poorly) They use to call me Deuce "Ducky" Dublowski ... and I've always regretted it.

Sam (referring to Eli's boner): Give it detention!

It's the little things

The improv was all fantastic.

That said, did anyone else check out the bathrooms? I left during a scene, went to the large, freshly scented bathroom WITHOUT having to go through the stage, and returned unnoticed. That was my own private Harold Night highlight.

Monday - Thursday

Major props to Alex and everyone who helped him in getting the new space up and running -- it looked, sounded, and felt great.

8 p.m.

Eric's snapping alligator under Calhoun's bedroom drawbridge

Powell (as a NASA operative): Shuttle, come in -- this is Mission fucking Control...

The Rrrrrockets: blastoff, indeed -- what a great debut.

Oliver: It's not just about sticking your dick in things ... 'cause I respect women.

Eli (to Sam's "Big Chicken" mascot wannabe): Kid, you've got the job--
Sam: Great!
Eli: --halfway. Can you sing?
Sam: No, my vocal chords were horribly burnt when I was a child.
Eli: Well, you've got to dunk three balls at the same time--
Sam: While singing?
Eli: --while singing "Sweet Georgia Brown."
Sam: Are there even words to that?

9:30

The Van's "Jezebell the Temp" fairy tale group game: a musical intro; the sequence of Jezebell the lowly temp getting shit on in the office; Jane's "floating" solo; Webber as a fairy godmother; and even a happy ending (Porter: Jezebell, I need these copied and collated ... but at your leisure).

Tarik (seeing his father groping his mother, who's covered her body with tuna fish cans): Mom, Dad ... I'm leaving -- that's nasty.

McBrayer (initiating to Gethard): The war in Iraq is wrong.
(Amy Rhodes enters)
Gethard: The war in Iraq is right and justified.
Amy: Uh oh -- I'm gettin' outta here! (immediately leaves)

This three-line sequence is then repeated with Seth and Shannon disagreeing on abortion (Amy: "Awkward!"), and then tweaked with Terry and Rhea agreeing that they both "love assisted suicide" (Shannon to a stumped Amy: "Ooh, faced! Faced!")

Cagematch

Monkeydick did a flashlight Harold: the stage lights were turned off, and they each lit themselves with their own individual flashlights. DeCoster was frightening.

Curtis (as a cop, pulling over Lathan): Let me see your license, son.
Lathan: Son? I'm 47 years old.
Curtis: I'm 63.
Lathan: Okay, you got me there.

Early in the Swarm show, they set up a sequence of Blumenfeld as a crane operator climbing a tall set of stairs up to the controls of his crane.

On his way up, he passes Delaney coming down the stairs ("Mornin'!" - "Mornin"), a janitor mopping up ("Careful, it's slippery the rest of the way up"), pets Billy (as a friendly dog), opens a complicated submarine-style airlock door, and is still climbing as the scene's edited.

A good while later, Delaney and Secunda are doing a scene as two birds, talking as they're flying around. Their whole scene plays out, they finally land to take a perch ... and Blumenfeld walks on, still climbing the stairs, shoos away these birds from his stairs, and continues on with the original climbing scene. Beautiful.

May I say I'm very glad the back wall passed its first harold night. Alex did a great job of puting it up and securing it, but I did hold my breath when members of the Rrrrrockets started shaking it.

Monkeydick had a bunch of awesome flashlight moments, including the car scene where they set up headlights. I especially loved the Skittles Rainbow of Doom.

I enjoyed waiting to see how that sheet of glass was going to get broken. I also enjoyed McKeel breaking it by asking for the time.

Hooray for the Rrrrrockets.

I was kind of shy about it last night but today I feel okay to say I really, really, really loved The RRRRRockets! show. It was an event.

So, is the group's spelling officially
The Rrrrrockets!
or
The RRRRRockets!
?

Hopefully, the groupmind will join the IRC soon, and we'll all know the answer.

Really? I thought it was five capital R's, like so...

The RRRRRockets!

Damn. That brings up another question... does it have an exclamation point or not?

Oh man, we need to talk about this at the next rehearsal.
