What a great time. The MEAT ladies had a blast at the San Francisco Sketchfest this past weekend. We have been traveling quite a bit lately and I will admit, it was a bit disorienting at first, and the time zone action didn't help, but we were ready to rock by showtime.

Of course, the best thing to do in San Francisco in our opinion, is to check out Kasper Hauser, one of our favorite sketch groups in the country. We had the honor of sharing the same bill with them, along with Olde English (who I was happy to finally see live). I could go on and on about how smart and sharp we think Kasper Hauser's writing is, and throw in the fact that they are brilliant actors who commit to detail...dear lord, it makes us as happy as seeing the Golden Gate bridge.

Speaking of, John, from Kasper Hauser, was a real hero in spending his Sunday taking us around SF. We had the ultimate burrito in the Mission district and then we hung out in Kasper Hauser's office. If that weren't exciting enough (and it really was actually) he took us out to the Golden Gate bridge. It was incredibly awesome, and we drove up this hill/mountain, some sort of large land mass, that allowed us to overlook the bay and the bridge. It was really very cool.

Too bad, I am a loser, who doesn't have a camera. Reggei had her disposable camera, so maybe I will see those pictures next month.

I am also super drained and tired so this is probably the least descriptive retelling of our trip, and maybe one of the other MEAT ladies will chime in and add some details.

We got to see several of the other groups who performed this weekend. I loved Fempyre, the feminist rock/folk duo. It was great to really hang out with Olde English (thanks for having our backs had we gotten in the fight with those birthday party attendees)...their film/sketch about the astronauts getting off the moon was GREAT! Boomtime...what can I say, I adore absurd and they were absurd. Plus they were totally awesome guys who I had a blast hanging out with at the after party. We also got to see the reunion of Totally False People, (who also put on the fest) and they were great.

Wow...I am so tired and out of it that this may be coming across as almost sad. Well hear me MEATBALLS, it wasn't sad, it was kickass.

I am going to curl up under my desk at my work and take a nap. I am sure no one will mind.

Get out of me now, Biz

Very exciting Meatballs!

The ladies are off to San Fran. This will be our first time out to this fest and we are pretty pumped.

If you or your friends are out in the Bay area, send them our way! We are thrilled to be performing with Kasper Hauser, one of the best groups out there! Plus our good pals the Royal We will be there too! YAY!

Hopefully there will be reports from the road...and maybe one of the other ladies will blog on this blog.

sigh.

GO MEAT! GO CRAZY!

“I don’t see how you can be a partner in peace if you advocate the destruction of a country,” President Bush said in reaction to apparent Hamas victory.

This statement just came out on CNN.

(blink)

It could only be more innaporpriate if he was standing in Baghdad when he said it.

What a duche.

This woman is claiming to tell you "everything you ever wanted to know about Unicorns."

I actually know less about Unicorns now.

Make sure you check out the unicorns up for adoption.

Robert McCall, one of the best covert operatives in the business became disenchanted with his work in a CIA-like organization known only as "the Company." Seeking redemption for some of his darker exploits, McCall resigned, and offered his services through newspaper ads to people in trouble, who were beyond the help of official channels, like the police. McCall used his skills in espionage and frequently enlisted the help of former colleagues still in the Company to get the job done. He also continued to maintain contact with his friend and former boss, a man known only as Control. His no-nonsense attitude, compassion, and experience with dealing with a wide variety of situations make him a powerful and useful detective.

"Got a problem, need help, odds against you, Call The Equalizer".

Dear Equalizer,

I need your help. I am 16 and so confused. EVERYBODY HATES ME! Why!? All of my friends have boyfriends but no one will ask me out. Why won’t boys ask me out?
I was at lunch today and I felt left out so I just sat there and acted like I was involved in my math. I didn’t say a word. All I could think about doing was moving. Even though I couldn’t tell anyone I just felt awful. Thinking about all the people who I’ve grown up with and such. Rosh looked over and said “wow, what’s wrong? Something must be wrong cause you’re so quiet.” GOD! Why is it so amazing that I don’t always talk? Whenever I do talk it doesn’t all come out clearly and I end up stuttering and I come across as an airhead. Or I’ll be talking and people won’t understand so they just pretend to listen or everyone will want me to shut up cause its not important. When I am finally quiet all I get is, why aren’t your talking? Something must be wrong! Ahg! I HATE IT!!!

Equalizer, do you think I am pretty? I bet if you went to the dance with me, the other boys would see that I was wantable and then ask me out. You could also kill that Emily Standard, who gets ALL the boys but only because she acts drunk all the time. Why is that appealing? The dance is called Jungle Boogie, and its jungle themed, but you can wear jeans Equalizer. No one will care, cause you are the Equalizer.

Do you like cats Equalizer? Maybe you could come over and have a tea party with me and Louise.

I love you Equalizer.

Its me! Biz!

Wow! MEAT Blog!

Look at us, doing the internet thing.

So, in the vein of most blogs…this will be filled with meaningless crap…oh wait…HILARIOUS crap. What will my role be in all of this? To seek out awesome links for you to laugh at.

So let’s kick things off with ARM WRESTLING.

http://www.armwrestlingtv.com/tempindex.html

I watched “Over The Top” with Stefan (from Elephant Larry) last night.


It has introduced me to a whole world that I never knew existed. Not just an 80’s fad...arm wrestling is alive and well. ARM WRESTLING! I mean i understand that one might think sketch comedy is a frivilous "hobby" but ARM WRESTLING! I love it. I love that there is this total subculture. Mark my words MEATBALLS, I will attend an Arm Wrestling competition by years end.

Check out the streaming video of kick ass arm wrestling moves set to the song Cat Scratch Fever, by Ted Nugent.


Which actually is going to take me in a different direction for a moment…I had cat scratch fever last year. This is a real “fever.”

My cat, Louise is nuts and randomly walked by and bit/scratched my arm. About 4 hours later, I couldn’t feel anything in my arm and got…tada…a fever. It was very embarrassing going to the doctor.

Doctor: What seems to be the problem?

Me: Uh….I have cat scratch fever.”

Doctor: “Get out! Get out of my office! I HATE YOU!”

So what have we learned from this?

Over The Top is an awesome movie and that you should always take it “over the top!”

Cats are hilarious, but Cat Scratch Fever is not.

Long Live The MEAT blog
