It's been three years since I nearly killed me and whinemoms while driving in Indianapolis. Three years since we braved the unbearable heat of the drought to be tourists together. Three years since I spilled tea all over both of us while hanging out in a cemetery. Good times. Snow + Emma 5ever. 10/10 would do again.
I'm renewing my lease tomorrow! I'd like to move somewhere smaller and live of my own, but right now my apartment is affordable, conveniently located, comfortable, settled into, and a guaranteed habitat.
After we sign the new lease, I'm hoping to stop by Nordstrom Rack for black flats, a black dress, and black pants.... I am noticing a theme in the things I'm looking for.
I also need to go to Blick for a fabric marker in, surprise surprise, black.
im volunteering at leeds festival in summer yesssssssss
Finally!! HN: my dose of vitamin Sea and some dose of family bonding! :-) #summmmmmmer #fambam #Moya #Samal #happinessOverload

Upstairs Gallery Bulletin #111 (6/24-6/30) "WE ARE SECOND BEST AGAIN!"
Guys! The Gallery defended it's title as the runner up "Best Underground Art Space" in this years Chicago Reader Best Of!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
We're very excited about the esteemed company that we're keeping as runner up selections including "Second City" in "Best Improv/Sketch Troupe" and "CIAO AMORE RISTORANTE" in "best looking waitstaff*" (which is kind of a creepy category.)
Thanks so much for any of those of you who voted! It's a very small deal surely, but it is really nice to know that folks out there are thinking about us enough for any sort of recognition. You guys are the win beneath our wings! #1
Mondays in June - GALLERY CLOSED - We needed a day of the week off!
#2 Paradoxing
Tuesday- June 4, 11, 18, 25 - 8pm, Free (Donations Accepted) BYOB
Branching Universe Temporal Paradox Hypothesis: To travel back in time would cause time to branch.
What if there were no fixed points in time? What if every minor change led to huge and exciting consequences? How many moments can you revisit and bring back something new? Are there any other time traveling movies to reference to get the point across? (Primer).
A show that investigates the butterfly effects of improv, and asks you to follow your fellow performer’s imaginations. Their journeys could be your space nexus, your ape planet, or your Philadelphia experiment. The end is only the beginning.
And remember, whatever happened, happened

#3 It's Listin' Up Time Again Wednesday - June 26th - 8pm, Free (Donations Accepted) BYOB
Improv and stand up collide in this show unlike any other in Chicago with this monthly fun produced by Dan Friesen (The Comedy Evening) and Daniel Shar (Phat Beethoven). Each month, Friesen books three of his favorite comedians to do improvised stand up based on set lists created by the audience on their way into the show. Concurrently, Shar books enough of his favorite improvisers to form three different mash-up groups to each use the preceding stand up's actual set list from a recent show as their source material for an improv set. It's off the cuff stand up, and off the list improv.
This month, we are featuring an amazing set of improvisers, plus improvised stand up from Andy Fleming, Megan Gailey, and Marty DeRosa.
