Does this make you mildly uncomfortable?

 
Dear awkward bloggers, 
I came across this gem while procrastinating on my final paper. I wanted to wish brilliance upon all of you as finals come at full force this week. Just remember....procrastination is like masturbation, in the end you're only fucking yourself.

Love, 
Lizzie

Ugly Sweaters

Hello Awkward World,

We officially have STUDIO THEATER for our show December 8th show. Starts at 9pm. We want all of those seats filled by 8:55!! We also are supporting the Erasmus living learning community and asking people to donate a few dollars at the show to support their immersion trips this summer. We know, Awkward Silence shows have always been free but hey, it's the SEASON OF GIVING so cough up 2 dollars for 2 hours of hilarity.

The event on facebook is circling around, you can find it if you look up "We wish you an awkward christmahanukwanzukah... and a happy new year" under "events."


Please wear your ugliest of holiday sweaters. Egg nog drinking is also welcomed.


To inspire you, we have posted a few pictures of our favorite ugly sweaters:







See you in a week!!

December Show

Good News Friends and Countrymen! Our next show is set for December 8th! The location is TBA... We are hoping for Studio Theater. We are expecting this show to be the most riveting experience of your life, SO we are asking for $2-3 suggested donations from audience members. All of the proceeds are going to the Erasmus living learning community's fundraising for their trip to Thailand!! We will try to be extra funny. No promises.

The point is... Who could deny donating 2 bucks to see Matt's beautiful face???

We will keep you updated!

Start of the season

Hey everybody,
