Fake Bacon Resolutions

Looking forward to a better year and a better us, the Fake Bacon members have vowed to make these resolutions:

• Mike will attend rehearsals at least once every solstice.
• Jason will redefine being "a little late" as only twenty-two minutes past the hour.
• Scott will only start drinking at shows a third of the way into the Shimmy Shake's set.
• John will only produce three of his own theatrical shows at a time, thus freeing up his calendar to appear at Fake Bacon shows the second Tuesday of every autumn.
• Jerry will only pick around his guitar and stare in the air trying to figure out the tune for "I'd Like To Give The World a Hug" for only twelve minutes.
• Calig will allow a new game to be rehearsed for at least a minute and a half before negatively grunting and putting the kibosh on it.

And a Happy New Year to all!

Fake Bacon Final Gig of the Year!

Wrapped up 2009 with a packed house rodeo of a show, featuring the one-year anniversary set from Parlor Tricks, whose Interrogation Game never fails to bring down the house. Also had very special guests Pale Imitations bring their rollicking set to the stages of TE, wrapping up with their killer version of Jeopardy.

Finally, Fake Bacon and Shimmy Shake joined forces for another mix of their Shake n' Bake set, which included lots of songs, dating, and two to three people talking at once.

Great way to end off the year at the Ear and looking very forward to 2010, when we begin a series of new adventures for our troupe. First off, we will be hosting a "New Troupe Showcase" at the Thirsty Ear from 8:00 - 8:30 on every second Tuesday of the month. The first troupe to perform is the all-female group Faux Real (don't worry, Shimmies, you'll always be our girlfriends).

Secondly, we will be starting a new monthly gig at Gresso's on every third Thursday of the month. Teaming with Pale Imitations, we are looking forward to bringing our brand of nuttiness to the great restaurant/bar that is Gresso's.

And last but not least, Fake Bacon productions will be arising once more to present the sequel to our hit play Aftershock! An Event! The new played, called Leave Our Land Alone!, will be set on a mysterious island with strange inhabitants, an intelligent robot, and babies that are born only after they are 30 years old. The target date for our newest play is September 2010.

So happy holidays to all and thank you so much for coming out and supporting our shows!
