IC BONS Order Fall 2005
IC BONS (aka BOBB) Order for Fall 2005
First a few details: writers, remember to bring sufficient copies of your script for you, your actors, and the light booth. You don't need to show up as early as usual, since we don't need to assemble an order, but please give your light booth copy to the board member who is collecting them. And remember to invite a lot of friends--we count on BONS as a money-maker for the year. You don't want us to be evicted, do you? We'll be in Theatre B, which is really fun to play in when it's packed full, so please do your part.
On to the order... I apologize if these titles aren't exactly right; I'm doing this from memory since Jamal and Alyssa have the official order to use for making programs.

Yeah. Last weeks order would be something I too would like to comment on. There were some pieces I feel that I really need to talk about. (psst. It's so people think I know something when really I don't have shit to say that would be beneficial in any way shape or form)
I agree. I really want to comment on Patrick Ashcraft's horrific crimes against Shelton and humanity at large.
I think Shelton should've gone along with the kiss. He could use some tender lovin'. What Patrick did was not a crime. He was helping Shelton. Do you know the last person Shelton kissed before Patrick landed one on him? Mirri on week one (with the gross things) and before that, Stef Bell at Theatre Prom. I've even kissed more people between that span than Shelton. Shelton needed a good kiss he'll remember for a long time.

I don't have the order...I believe that I saw Alyssa put it in her purse...
Why no Eric piece in Best Of? Sure they were always the same song sung differently each time but some of them were pretty good.

I agree with Patrick's opinions on Eric Landuyt in BONS and, to a lesser extent, manly love.
There is part of me, Patrick, that would really be pleased to be in an Ashcraft piece. But the fact is that you make me really uncomfortable. You're always fixing me with a blank stare in the lounge before No-Shame, and when you speak to me you sound kind of hostile. You are scary. I mean, the last skit you did, you raped Shelton's face with your tongue--God knows what you would do to me! You've already sat on my head, what more do you want, sicko?
I've even kissed more people between that span than Shelton.
I haven't.
I also do not have the order.
Fuck you Shelton! The religious right is the most retarded thing since Helen Keller... it's worse than being the male equivelent of Helen Keller aka you! Or Tommy from the Who's breakthrough rock opera.
As for the rest of you. I like you... yes even Evan... he is my overlord with a beard. Well...Except I don't like that Snugglepuss kid. He can get on my fucking nerves. You heard me you annoying little shit!
Snugglepuss? What are you even talking about, Eli? You've been getting more and more crazy with each blog post; it's like you're descending into some pit of unrecoverable madness.
Now here's my two things.
First of all, it is not me anonymously complaining that I didn't make it into Best Of. If I were going to complain, I would identify myself. While I am quite disappointed, I'm not going to be petty and bitch about it. Complaining that people don't appreciate my work wouldn't accomplish anything.
Which leads to my second point. I told myself from the beginning that I wouldn't get on the blog to try to defend, explain, or justify my work to anyone, but I feel I should respond to what Patrick said. Patrick, I really appreciate your honesty on all counts. I know what I do offends people, and I admit that at times I have gone out of my way to offensive. But not everything I do is for simple shock value. Most of my pieces are meant to be ironic or satirical, but I realize not everyone gets that since they don't share my sense of humor. I also realize that by starting my No Shame career with the viking sketch probably did more harm than good. At the time, I wanted to make a name for myself and prove right away I was not afraid to push the envelope. On one level, I succeeded since people kept talking about it and doing pieces referring to it for a number of weeks. But that sketch was also my first impression on the No Shame audience, and I think that's affected the way they've interpreted every one of my pieces since then. I dead-pan most of my humor because I think some of the funniest things in life are the ridiculous things that some people believe in all seriousness. But because of my style, people tell me they can't tell if I'm joking or serious. Maybe I make assumptions that the audience will understand the humor the same way I do. Adam said of my first piece that the audience didn't know me and consequently didn't trust me, so they had to take what I said at face value. Since the style and content of my pieces hasn't changed much, neither have people's opinions of them. I think that's one reason a lot of people didn't understand my piece last Friday. I wanted it to be a radical departure from my usual stuff, and I thought people would see it as such since it was (meant to be) totally serious and had nothing to do with sex. It was hard for me to do because it was so personal and was about an actual girl in my life (which I guess I didn't make clear enough). So I was upset to hear people laughing; the glares I gave a few members of the audience probably gave that away. I just hope some people did actually take it seriously.
I've probably said more than enough already, but I just want to add that I too care a lot about No Shame. I wouldn't take the time and effort to get up onstage every week if I didn't. I don't want anyone to approach me with a "handle with care" attitude now that I've said all this. Like I said, I appreciate your honest opinions, positive and negative, even if I don't agree with them. Thanks for listening, and keep the reviews coming.
And to anyone who's disappointed I'm not in BONS this semester, we'll see what happens next spring.
I will fuck you up Eli! Seriously man! I will cut you... and you will die. I say Eli is first upon the wall!
Hey Eric it's okay man, people laughed at my two serious pieces this year. One because it was so unprepared and the girl playing the girl had just got the script mere seconds before going on stage whereas the other, my personal favorite ever, Birds Eye, NO ONE UNDERSTOOD! They were all like oh wierd, he's ryhming. They didn't get that the voices were a friend long gone and a lover who rejected me. They didn't see that the eye was a symbol for what could have been but was never to be. It pissed me off. Fuck, the crowd laughed at the line "I have sins I must atone" for christs sake. So I know exactly how you feel on that one. If it makes you feel better, I knew it was about a girl. Had I not arrived late I would have done a piece fairly similar. What I suggest, stick with what YOU want to write. Don't sell out. Stick with that and soon people will hopefully respect you for sticking to your guns. In fact that's the only real compliment I've ever gotten from the board members before so yeah... sell outs suck. Like Liz Phair or whatever her name is = Burning in hell for enternity.
To Snugglepuss... we shall see my good adversary... we shall see...
To Shelton... I haven't been losing my mind for 14 years. Just since 6th grade.
To Evan, if you knew the kind of week and a half I have had your mind would slowly degenerate into nothingness as well.
let's try to piece the order together for last friday, here are the pieces i remember:
1. shelton's pants mansion piece
2. patrick singing a song
3. Eric's monolouge
4. My piece with the couple fighting
5. "mistress sasha" (she gave a different name this time) and talking about her job as a dominatrix
6. Adam Hahn's beer commercial you won't ever see
7. Was there the final piece for the John Leigh series?
8. Aprille did a piece... I don't remember what though
9. The piece where Adam Hahn was choking
now you help!
Shit, not another order by forensic reconstruction.
Tim, how do you not know the title of your own piece?
Mine was "Three Beer Commercials You Will Never See on American Television" (threesome, suicide, vomit) I remember it coming late in the order.
The piece where Adam Hahn was choking was "Gustav & George" a scene from 2034 by Greg Machlin. Eric played an assassin, and I had bad lungs. I believe it was #3.
Mistress Sashs is better known as Dori, and I believe she was listed only by first name.
In Aprille's piece, she made and ate an omelette from her own ova.
There was a final John Leigh Gomez piece. Clone love!
Sean Shatto got our help doing a crossword.
Evan Schenck did his piece about overthrowing the No Shame board. Stage 5: Dragons!
There were more.
Patrick did a song and kissed Shelton.
"Jesse Blaine is not here!" by Jesse Blaine
Thats all I can remember that you guys dont.

1. shelton's pants mansion piece
(Shelton inherits one peanut butter twix, but must spend the night in a haunted pants mansion)
2. patrick singing a song, Sadie thought for her but it was actually for Shelton who Patrick kissed
3. Eric's monolouge about a girl, possibly a theme of continual rejection
4. Timm Sitzmann "Nothing Special (A couple fights with interjecting quips from a third figure)
5. Dori - talking about her job as a dominatrix
6. Adam Hahn - "Three Beer Commercials You Will Never See on American Television" (threesome, suicide, vomit)
7. John Leigh - "Clone Love"?
8. Aprille's piece where she ate an omelette from her own egg
9. "Gustav & George" a scene from 2034 by Greg Machlin
10. Sean Shatto got our help doing a crossword.
11. Evan Schenck did his piece about overthrowing the No Shame board. Stage 5: Dragons!
12. Dirty 60 - "David Ogden Stires"
13. Cool Jesse - "Jesse Blaine is not here!"
WE ARE ALMOST DONE!
Plus, Eric memorizes his long monologues, which is more than most of us.
Eric, what was with those two people who were laughing VERY hard? I almost thought they were related to you, or that it was part of the piece somehow, but apparently not. Bizarre and rude. I thought that piece was good, as well as Aprille's her-omelette and Sean's crossword and...I can't remember, everything else, why not.
When Shelton pulled his pants down, I was behind him and saw his asscrack because his underpants were dragged down. But did the audience catch a glimpse of frontal?
Katy B.
"When Shelton pulled his pants down, I was behind him and saw his asscrack because his underpants were dragged down. But did the audience catch a glimpse of frontal?"
There was hair and darkness, but nothing was quite distinguishable from where I was sitting, thank God.
The people laughing at Eric's piece looked like weirdos, even by the standards of No-Shame theatre, but I'm pretty sure at least one of them had been there before. One of them looked just like Santa Claus and I remember him from previous nights. So, Santa Claus was basically being a total asshole to Eric.
I hate Santa Claus. He will be second on the wall after Eli and me and my Snagglepuss will scream out with pleasure as we blow them away with a machine gun. For 5 minutes...
Oh and I saw some Shelty sack... but only for like a split second.
Hey does anybody mind if I post a poster or two in the TB and theatre arts hall? I made some. Don't worry there is nothing wrong with them. I just answer what happened to the lindberg baby.
