Sex...

Shot from the read through of "Sex, aka Weiners and Boobs." A project my Improv group is collaborating on.

Hair, or the lack thereof

Last night, I finally got tired of the wispy stuff on top and hacked it off. Now I have more hair on my chin than my head. Well, longer hair on my chin than my head anyway. Shondra was helpful... "What happened?" was her quote.

Check out the new Todd.

Weekly shows at the Mink

Beginning March 4th, Massive began performing weekly on Sunday nights at the Mink. Check out our website for current details: http://massiveimprov.com.

It's really a great space, and our bartender (Natalie, pictured in a lousy photo taken by my cellphone) is really terrific. The vibe of the place is more of a music venue than comedy, but we are hoping to change all that with a little help from Natalie.

Mercilyn Prause is 1!

Shondra and I attended a birthday party for Mercilyn Prause this weekend. Mark and Kim Prause are good friends and it was fun watching Mercilyn enjoy the 10 cent balloons far more than all the other more expensive gifts she was given.


Mark is serious about those party favors.


Mercilyn says, "Thanks for coming to my birthday party!"

Houston Rodeo 2007

Shondra and I went to the rodeo for the first time since we've been in Houston - pathetic, I know since we've been here more than a decade. It was a lot of fun, tons of western-gear booths, BBQ sauce on ice cream, huge Turkey legs for consumption, a big carnival, a livestock show with cows and sheep, and chickens being born.

That evening we watched some Barrel Racing, Bronc and Bull riding, a chuck wagon race, and a hilarious event called a calf scramble. For the calf scramble they set 40 kids loose on 20 calves. If a kid can catch and wrestle a calf to the ground and put a halter on it, he/she gets to take it home. It was high comedy - all these kids running around trying to tackle calves at least as big as most of the kids.

After all the rodeo events, Gretchen Wilson performed about an hour long concert. She was great, but the accoustics were pretty lousy in the big stadium. On the way out of Reliant Stadium, you could see the lights from the Rodeo Carnival. I snapped a few pics with my phone:

A pic of the Rodeo Carnival - you can some of the tents and the lights from the rides.


The ferris wheel was really pretty from the top floor of the Reliant Stadium. As usual, a picture from a phone doesn't really do it justice.

Improv Weekend

Todd had a big improv show the weekend of Feb. 23 and 24th. We hosted 6 different improv teams from the Houston area and had packed houses on Friday and Saturday night. We had teams from two of the major Universities (Rice and University of Houston), ComedySportz and a couple of other local troupes. And of course Massive performed as well.

<< Todd checks in at the box office while enjoying a Miller High Life.

Now we are performing regularly on Sunday nights at a local bar in town.

The new Borings dot Net!

We are re-purposing this website to be a place for family and friends to be able to post family pics and blab about their current doings. Basically a family blog. If you are interested in posting pics and such, let me know and I'll hook you up with a login.
