I was the guy checking IDs and stamping hands of people who wanted to buy beer and wine. I had expected something more like an improv show, and am not sure I would have considered it worth the ticket price if I had actually had to pay.

They had some serious technical glitches involving the computer and the projector, which is why the doors opened so late.

Ahh, had I known I'd have said hello!!! I didn't give my id since I was driving.

The line to get in was a mess, but understandable. I feel bad that they had such technical problems. I'm a big fan of indie/alternative comedy etc, so I was glad my 20$ went to the altcom fest and the onion. I've read the onion for years for fee so I don't feel bad for giving them my money.

However, it was kinda like 5 people reading me slides I'd already seen. The Q&A was ok, but I thought they could have answered the questions related to "how to get a job like that" better. They were certainly disorganized, so I was let down. I went to redbones after but only stayed for one beer. I talked to the Fest Director for about a min, as I'm interested in helping next year.

I went to the Found Magazine event at The Precinct in union on Saturday, that would have been cool to be part of the alt.comedy fest, plus at 5 dollars it was about 100x more entertaining.

btw, our co-moderator surrealestate was the volunteer bartender last night.

Cool, then I did meet her. I was the girl who didn't know if she should put her water bottle in with the beer bottles for recycling.

Woot

Yep, we collected all kinds of bottles for recycling. (I'm the guy who picked up most of the ones left on the floor after the show ended.)
