Shows, Shows, Shows

Oh, Hello. Welcome to 2011. I hope all of your Januaries are starting off with an appropriate level of awkwardness. Maybe you threw up on a stranger's shoes at a bar, or your vibrator set off the metal detector in the security line at the airport, or you told a girl that you like her and she said "I like being friends, too." But that's enough about MY January. What really matters is when Awkward Silence will be performing again.

Let happiness abound because we already have two shows dates in February! Thursday, February 3rd we will be COMPETING against another improv team at a venue in SOMA (9th St. at Minna). Both teams will do a short set and the audience votes on the winner. That means you have to come to the show because we need your votes.

More info to come, but be sure to keep Feb. 3rd clear.

Our next on-campus show is Friday Feb. 11 at 9pm (subject to time change). We are hoping for studio theater again, but if performing arts poops on us then we will have to schedule a different room! Look for Facebook invites!

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!!
