November is shaping up to be a very good month for us at Mascot Wedding headquarters. In addition to the radio show (starting November 8, plan your listening parties accordingly), we’ve also just been asked to join forces with Master Pancake Theater for another month of shows. The even better news is, this time you won’t have to politely smile through Conan the Barbarian. This time we’re pitching in for the mother of all “these jokes write themselves” movies: Road House! That’s right, Patrick Swayze’s finest hour (depressing as that may be) is being put in front of the Master Pancake firing squad all November at (wait for it…) the new Alamo Downtown at The Ritz! That means not only will you get to hear us completely fall over ourselves trying to deliver jokes as fast as they come to mind (come on, have you seen the movie??), you’ll get to see it in the brand new, peeing my pants with anticipation, Drafthouse on 6th Street.* Fist pump!
Month: October 2007
You can’t stop us. You can only hope to contain us.
Holy lord. We don’t update this thing for like a month and then, seemingly out of nowhere, all hell broke loose. But it’s a good kind of hell so, to be more accurate, all heck broke loose. That’s still too harsh. All puppies broke loose. That’s the one.
Two big – HUGE even – items to pass along:
1) After over a month apart, Mascot Wedding and Master Pancake Theater are together again! Fresh off our guest run for Pancake’s take on Conan the Barbarian, CPO (Chief Pancake Officer) John Erler has asked me (David) to pitch in for a couple of shows while VP (Vice Pancake) Joe Parsons takes a couple of days off, so come check me out this Thursday (10/25) and Friday (10/26) at the Alamo Village and Alamo South Lamar, respectively. Unfortunately my partner (Mac) will not take part in the shows due to scheduling conflicts. Apparently he’s scheduled a night of heavy drinking for Friday night and he really hates breaking plans. But I assure you, I have his blessing and he will be cheering me on as I carry the MW torch for Master Pancake’s take on John Carpenter’s classic-by-default, Halloween. Yay!
Check out the Alamo Drafthouse website for tickets and show information, and I hope to see you there.
2) Now for the big news… Mascot Wedding is on the air. Well, not yet, but in a couple of weeks we will be. KOOP-FM (91.7 on your Austin dial, koop.org on your internet whatever) has granted us a show Thursdays from 3-3:30 PM starting November 8. We’re getting a full-half-hour for music, comedy, and anything else we feel like doing, and we pass the savings on to you. So, don’t forget to check us out starting November 8 as we kick off KOOP’s Mighty Thursday lineup.
Not too shabby, eh? We’re blowin’ up, son. The question now is how long before you get sick of us? I’m setting the over/under at six weeks.
