I haven't been the greatest blogger this September, but I've been spending a lot of time tweaking this Wednesday's Cool Kid Club show. Even if everyone hates it, I've had so much fun putting it together that I can't imagine not doing it again.
In case you forgot, details are in the post under this one.
I don't want to overhype it, but it's going to be like taking a dose of every drug you can name and then taking one of the first space tourist flights to the moon.
Remember to bring some booze!

Cool Kids Club FAQ
Q: What’s Cool Kids Club again?
A: Cool Kids Club is a live commentary on vintage educational shorts. It’s maybe a little bit like Mystery Science Theater 3000, except live and no puppets.
Q: When’s your first show?
A: This Wednesday, September 20th, at the Universal Space Agency in Williamsburg. The doors open at 8, and the show starts at 8:30. It's free. Seating is limited, so come early. If you’d like, bring a blanket to sit on. In case you weren't sold at "seating is limited", we’re inviting everyone to bring their own alcohol. The show will be about an hour.
Q: Sounds stupid. Who’s involved?
A: Besides myself, the show will be written and performed by Dan Hopper, Kevin Haulihan, Steve Menegozzi, and Matt Esolda. Dan, Kevin, Steve, and myself worked closely together on Penn State's humor magazine, Phroth. Over three consecutive years Dan, Kevin, and Steve each took a turn directing Phroth Phest, the magazine's annual live sketch show. The three of them turned the show into the rarest of beasts - a well-attended and funny student production. Matt directs awesome music videos, and does a weekly comic for the CollegeHumor newsletter. He's also the A/V nerd of the group, which is really saying something. He'll be making sure the show looks and sounds great. He also designed these great logos.
Q: Do you have a MySpace?
A: Do we have a MySpace!?!?
Q: I want to stay informed of future Cool Kids Club activities, what are my options?
A: Besides the MySpace account, you can also sign up for our email list by sending a blank message to SuperCoolKidsClub-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

This week, our absurdly talented development team launched a new version of CollegeHumor.com. Amongst other major changes, we've added a more blog-ish front page that we're all really excited about.
Just wait - I'm going to be getting into all sorts of crazy adventures. Our old pals Streeter, Amir, and Ricky have already written some really funny stuff too, so be sure to read it several thousand times a day.

Our first show is in Williamsburg this September 20th. That's a Wednesday night. It's at the Universal Space Agency.
Also, just in case, we're inviting everyone to bring their own alcohol.
