Friday Night Sketch War: Round Nine
We’ve got an interesting battle this week. Back from the brink of doom (probably after making a Mephistophelian deal) Michael is firing on all cylinders. Red’s got a new home on the web, but didn’t join in the festivities. David channeled his inner Sondheim. It was a slugfest out there today… Michael launched an early…

Bookworms
(A public library at night. JOYCE is a librarian, bespectacled, primly dressed, her hair in a bun. She is closing up for the night, saying “goodbye” to the final patrons and locking the door behind them. She turns off the overhead fluorescent lights and heads back to the counter. She stretches, exhausted.) (Suddenly, she leaps…

Haven’t heard anything from Dave yet. But Richard’s already posted, even though he’s not feeling well. And it seems as though Red isn’t joining us this week either. Update: Dave has posted and it is super fly! Check it.Here’s my entry, for what it’s worth. Probably reveals a bit too much about my current work…

FSW: Barista Blues
Barista Blues(Meg and Dex stand behind the counter of an upscale coffee house. He: late 20s, detached and jaded hipster. She: 18, fresh-faced, straight from the farmland.

Friday Night Sketch War: Round Eight
I’d been holding off on reporting the results of this week’s battle in hopes that Michael would make it out of the M*A*S*H unit, where he was playing grab ass with Hot Lips Houlihan, in time to post. He’s been under the weather this week, and in Chicago, there’s been a LOT of weather this…

FSW: Someone New Enters the Battle!
Wow. Someone (not the two people I was actually targeting, but someone) felt called out this week and decided to send in a sketch. It’s her first shot at sketch comedy, but I thought it was pretty decent. She’s homepageless at the moment, so I’m going to paste it below. Everyone, please give a warm…

I’m Lucky To Have Met Nathaniel
(JULIA and ALEX sit at a table in a coffee shop. JULIA is holding ALEX’s hand.) JULIAYou know what? I want you to know that you’ve meant a lot to me during the time we’ve spent together, and that whatever our differences, and whatever needs we’re no longer able to fill for each other, you’ll…

Friday Night Sketch War: Round Seven
After last week’s two-man wrecking crew, this week we’re back to three combatants. Still, there were some lingering personal, health, and weather issues keeping the warriors from fighting at peak form. See for yourselves as… Coyote rouses the team to fight, fight, fight… David tells it like it is… Michael shows us it really is…
