You can still apply for Sacramento All Sketch. While it's true that our early deadline has passed, you can get your application postmarked anytime before the 15th to make the late deadline. It'll cost ya a couple extra bucks but hey, sometimes it's worth paying the late fee if you just REALLY need to sleep in. That's certainly my policy when it comes to getting my DVD rentals back on time.
We just picked up a most unusual sponsor. Sea Monkeys. Yes, that's right, Sacramento All Sketch is sponsored by Sea Monkeys and they're sending us product to use for promoting and fund raising. I find this quite bizarre and wonderful. I am a nut for Sea Monkeys, have been since I was a kid and first saw the ad in a Conan The Barbarian Comic Book (I bought it because Conan was fighting a werewolf and I loved werewolves.)
So I started a blog to share my retro fandom with other geeky types (www.seamonkeygeek.com)and ended up becoming friends with the COO of the company that now sells these instant pets, George Atamian. George is excited about our comedy festival and so we arranged an unusual sponsorship deal. Sea Monkeys and Sketch Comedy, my two life long passions come together at last. Ha ha. Be sure to visit our sponsor at www.sea-monkeys.com.
Actually, you have one day less than two weeks left to get your application in. We're seeing some great stuff and I can already say with confidence that this is going to be an amazing festival featuring some outstanding talent.
Applications are due November 1st (late registration November 15th.) Click here to get an application. Instructions for mailing and what not can be found on the app. Good luck. Hope to see you in February!
Tom Working has done a great job designing our logo, posters, etc. and now he's hard at work on our new website. Watch for that soon. The address www.AllSketch.com will remain the same.
So busy. Getting ready to head up to Sketchfest Seattle. I can't wait. Ten West, Cody Rivers Show and Karla are all performing the weekend I'm there which is cool, but of course I'm most excited about seeing some great troupes that I HAVEN'T heard of.
What's making me crazy is that as I put this festival together my performer schedule keeps on keeping on as I now have The Coexist Comedy Tour demanding my attention and my documentary Why Lie I Need A Drink is almost done. Somewhere in there I manage to make a living and maintain a relationship with the woman who will be marrying me next April. Oh yeah, did I mention I'm getting Married too? Yeah. Life is good, crazy, but good.
The Sacramento News and Review has a great two page spread on the shows we've been producing here in Sacramento.
It does me proud to have them take notice that we are indeed bringing really great, unique acts to Sacramento, and to appreciate my work in going out and finding these acts, and then begging them to come to our town.
As the article says, it's all paving the way to Sacramento All Sketch. February 2008. See ya there.
