The Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company will be stopping by UCSB’s The Hub for a FREE improv show tomorrow night from 8-10pm. You get can get more info on the event being thrown by AS Program Board here. I’ve always admired comedians, especially improv performers, for their ability to think quickly on their feet but also to spread some fun in the world! I heard the name of this group and instantly said, “Isn’t that a TV show?” Ahhhh yes, my memory serves me well. The group had their own show on Comedy Central for three seasons from 1998-2000 based off of the popularity of their Chicago and New York theaters and improv workshops. Even more inspiring is that one of the founding members of this comedy troupe is Amy Poehler of Saturday Night Live – Parks & Recreation – Mean Girls – Baby Momma – fame, a lot of which include one of my other all-time faves, TINA FEY!!!! Watch the below, and TRY to tell me that smart women can’t be funny:
So I started doing a little digging on Amy Poehler and found out that this woman is one Kick Ass Career Chick. Along with her popular roles in tv shows and films, she is also part of a project called Smart Girls At The Party with her friends Meredith Walker, a producer, and Amy Miles, host of PBS’ Lomax: Hound of Music. Their show airs on ON Networks.com and is a way of inspiring pre-teen girls by showcasing the many talents of the average smart girl next door. I was absolutely charmed by this show and hear this inner voice in me screaming, “MORE!!!!! MORE of this on TV!!!! MORE of this content for smart girls!!!” Take a look and spread the word to any lovely young pre-teens you may know. I think it is absolutely genius:

Here’s my second go-around with Polyvore.com with a few ideas for what to wear that night:
Tomorrow I’ll be heading over to the Sunset Junction Street Festival with one of my super-cool-music-industry friends. Well, she was my friend before she was a super-cool-music-industry person….Not she is my friend BECAUSE she is a super-cool-music-industry person. Okay, I’ll admit it. She’s my friend because she’s good looking. UCLA or USC Campus Confidants should make their way over to the East Side with us since apparently there is soooo much more than all the great music. I’m looking forward to seeing the Submarines(more than just my obsession with Apple computers) as well as a few of my super-cool-music- industry friend’s suggestions:
PS ….How many more times do you want me to say super-cool-music-industry friend?
PPS…I encourage all of you to be even more super-cool by going green and heading to the festivities via Metro like we are! Below are the Metro instructions according to the site. It will be quite the adventure but we’re willing to forge ahead into the unknown for Mother Earth.
Take the Metro to the Santa Monica-Vermont or the Sunset-Vermont Stops.
Either walk (5 blocks, going east on Santa Monica or Sunset Blvds.) or take the bus (routes 2, 3 or 4) going towards downtown (east), and get off at Hoover Street (route 4) or at Fountain Avenue (route 2 or 3).
