Saturday was "We Got The Truck Day"
A beautiful yello Penske that is about 2/3 full at this point with all of Tylr and Lisa's stuff.
Good news, I think all of our stuff will fit in the truck with perhaps a little overflow into my pick up.
Great news: I have the truck with all of Lia and Tyler's stuff, and I will be selling it all off to fund my next year in Chicago--- Ha! Take that FUCKERS!
Most of my stuff i going into the truck tomorrow (Monday) so I am packing, cleaning, and throwing stuff out...
Anyone want a desk?

Strong Statements
Say what you will about Democrats, Republicans, the Green Party, and everyone else... you have got to admit that Obama's speech was amazing. In front of a live audience of 75,000 people and millions of Americans watched on television, Obama delivered a wonderfully intelligent speech of hope, change, and reasons why McCain is wrong for this country.
I was not a Clinton or Obama supporter during the primaries. I refused to make a real decision, but I am now sold on Obama.
That being said, my roommate Chris and I wonder if they focus group tested the phrase "Obama Biden." There a very small change needed to make "Obama Biden" into "Osama Bin Laden"
During the biography video shown before his speech at the DNC last night Michelle and Barack Obama spoke about his strange name (Remember too that there are people still worried about his middle name Houssein, and that whole Muslim thing). I think that they are just trying to make it hard on themselves.
Someone must have said, "Hey, do you guys think that 'Obama Biden' sounds a lot like that Osama guy?"
"Yeah, but Americans will not hold that against us."
Are you kidding? As a whole, we are not that smart.
Have you seen "Deliverance?" It's real. There are people out there like that.
Do you realize we elected a C student for two terms instead of two boring orators with spectacular educations?
I guarantee that there will be people who change their vote in the booth because they will see the last names in bold and have a flash back to 9/11 news coverage-- and suddenly Anytown, U.S.A will vote for their crazy old "Grampa McCain" instead of "Osama BinChange a lot."

Thank You, Minneapolis Show
Wow.
Tonight was great.
Thank you.
Thank you to the 20 improvisers who kicked ass, 5 groups plus a monster jam at the end was a hell of a lot of fun. It was a great opportunity for us to say "Thank you" to the groups we love to perform with.
It was funny, it was meaningful, it was spectacular.
Thank you to those who made it out, thank you to those who tried to make it out. Thank you for your laughs, support, thank you.

bookend shows
This will be a day bookended by shows.
I awoke from only 3 hours of sleep this morning to go to ComedySportz and do a great show for a group of teachers in Waconia... I still do not know where Waconia is, except that it is South and West.
Tonight is our "Thank You, Minnapolis" show at the Brave New Workshop. Things could be a little nuts tonight. I you are still debating coming, you really should just show up.
From here on out it is a lot of packing, cleaning, and final hand off.
I spoke to my mother today, she asked how I was doing-- I responded with "Well, moving is one of the most stressful things in life, and I am doing it without enough prep time... so I am a little stressed."
"Oh, I suppose. Well, I wish there was something I could do, but seeing as I can't-- just call me and let me know how you are doing."
That was nice. That was acceptance of the fact that I am actually moving to Chicago on her part. This is good... it means she is finally ok with my move.
So, come tot he show tonight, it will be great... see you there.

*I am moving 400 miles away
*I am getting ready to audition for the Second City Training Program
*I am trying to find a job
*I am finishing things up at the BNW

Holy Crap.
I have an awesome positive energy right now, but I am also sick to my stomach...
Really excited. I just want to worry about moving at this point...

Time Lapse
August 3, 2008
www.Davejennings.net
Hey there folks,
INTRO---
Welcome back. So, since my last writing I have lost three keys on my new laptop. It was a terrible experience, and I offer it up only because it is making typing slightly more difficult. I lost my S, E, and 4 key in an amazing drop from one hand and catch by another hand. Alas, I need to order a new laptop keyboard from Dell and install it myself. Dude, I got another Dell. Dude.
As I am typing this on my broken keyboard I am trying a little experiment. I am using the camera on my laptop to do a time lapse session on what happens during the art fair in front of the Brave New Workshop. I’ll post the video if it is at all interesting. So, if the thrill of reading my blog is not enough for you, you can now watch from my computer screen a video of what happens over my shoulder as I am typing in front of the BNW.
Do you use iGoogle? If you don’t, you should. It should be everyone’s new homepage. It is amazing. It gets the DVJ4 seal of approval.
CHICAGO UPDATE
Looking for jobs, looking for places to live. Everyone and their mother ask me about Chicago on a nearly daily basis. I suppose I don’t mind talking about it, when I am not talking about it I tend to freak out a little and worry, but when I am talking about it, I just get annoyed by the fact that I have no idea what is going on at all. Lisa and Tyler (Burstin’ and Petri) both have Fringe Shows to keep them busy, I just have the BNW to keep me busy… which does keep me pretty busy, I suppose. I have been searching on Craigslist.org for housing and jobs almost nonstop for the past two weeks. Anyway, everyone asks me about it all the time…
IMPROV UPDATE
No real update here, just rehearsing, a little ComedySportz here and there.
BREWERS UPDATE
Alright. Yep. The Cubs won the entire series in Milwaukee.
That is all
