when you've got a great idea

when you've got a great idea and all that you need to execute it, it feels so damn good to put it into motion. i get great ideas for restaurants, novels, and experimental space travel projects. of course, i don't have the means or even the desire to pursue these. but when i get what seems like a good idea for an improv show, implementing it is just about one of the greatest feelings in the world.

just sent this out to Austin Press people:

Friday, Available Cupholders bring the usual comedy juice back to their hometown from whirlwind touring throughout the US. Director and performer Jeremy Lamb will be getting eye surgery earlier in the day and unable to appear in the flesh. Just a warning.

Saturday, The Available Cupholders challenge local "improv group" Girls Girls Girls to a Battle of the Sexes Improv Match

The Available Cupholders love women. Probably more than the average man. Women are great, but let's face it, they just aren't funny. Take a look at who hosts late night talk shows, who produces the best stand-up comedy material, and who improvises with the best of ease and frivolity. Everyone knows it, but the Cupholders are the only ones with the guts to say it. Nobody wants to see women on stage trying to be funny. It's painful and boring. Female improvisers are merely a novelty, whose show's serve as a masturbatory attempt at equality. So as a public service to Austin we are going to put an end to this funny-lady-business and show Girls Girls Girls a thing or two about what it means to be talented and successful.
We challenge Girls Girls Girls to A Battle of the Sexes Improv Match to settle this once and for all and get them off the stage and back into nursing school or the kitchen or wherever the hell they came from -- just stay out of the comedy clubs! Come watch the all-male Available Cupholders cast hand Girls Girls Girls their collective hot, little ass.

Thank You,
Jeremy Lamb
Man
Available Cupholders Improv Comedy"
