So a few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of heading out to the University of California of Pennsylvania. It's very similar to the real California, except the temp was -7 and there was ice on the ground. Brian and I were kicking off the comedy series, Funny Freaking Fridays for Student Activities there.
I must say that they had one of the best advertising campaigns I've seen on a campus for a comedy show. They had posters for the event everywhere. My only complaint is that with all of the access we have to photo manipulation technology, they could've at least photoshopped some more hair on my head or create an illusion of abs. Even without that though, they still filled the theater which is even more impressive because classes had been cancelled that day due to snow.
Our contact and host for the event was Ashley, a sophomore communications major. She explained to us how much our song "Hot Pockets" meant to her since they were her only sustenance during the blizzard of 2010. Not sure this is a memory I'd want to relive, but apparently she likes it.
The show went great and the crowd was responsive, but it's what was going on outside the theater that caught our attention. We met some of the Student Activities Board before the show, and a few of them explained that they would not be attending because they had a Dungeons and Dragons game planned for the same time. It's probably the first time that when we sang the line ". . .on Friday night I play D & D. . ." in "The Dork Anthem," that it was literally happening in the next room. Very odd.
