Track Jacket Thrill Show!

I just got off the phone with the legendary Tommy Bartlett from the Tommy Bartlett Thrill Show and Robot World in Wisconsin Dells. At first I thought, "Sweet he got my application and I too can water ski with the ladies." Sadly he didn't want to discuss my resume. Mr. Bartlett was furious with Track Jacket Revue for hosting it's second show at the start of Memorial Day Weekend. He's afraid we'll cut into his profit margin because people don't want to drive to the Dells to see a show that hasn't changed since 1986, his words not mine. I told Mr. Bartlett that we can't help that our show is only 5 dollars or that our show can save America, combat global warming and get virgins laid.

Needless to say the conversation didn't go well. I offered him free tickets and he told me to get bent. I guess I'll have to water ski somewhere else, Lake Michagin if I have to.

A message from URNCO.

Hello,

We are proud to announce our sponsorship of Milwaukee's own, Track Jacket Revue in their next show, "Everything About This Hurts." We at URNCO. feel it is incredibly important to support the artistic community especially in our vital local markets. Milwaukee has a rich history of arts and drama and the team of Track Jacket Revue is a continuation of that legacy.

"We are incredibly excited about the show here at the offices," said URNCO. CEO Jeff Michaels.

Track Jacket Revue has also generously written a sketch featuring URNCO.'s ever popular urinal cakes. We are excited to see the end result of this sketch and the many others that will be featured in the show.

We hope you can join us on May 23rd at Comedy Sportz to support Track Jacket Revue in "Everything About This Hurts" presented by URNCO. The doors open at 9:30 with the show beginning at 10:00. Seating will be limited, but reservations are available. Tickets are only $5.

URNCO. has been leading the way in design and innovation in urinal cake technologies. Started in 1934 by John J. Michaels, URNCO. has been the leader in sales of bathroom deodorants for over 74 years. URNCO. designing innovation, right now.

End.

Woot

Actual (well, new to be honest) Show Date

Well, well, well it looks like we actually have a show date. After much deliberation we've settled on MAY 23rd. Don't worry, that's still a Friday and it's still going to be at 10pm and still only cost $5. Yup still a measly $5.

Those pictures Mike was talking about

This is for all you Track Jacket groupies out there who can't seem to get enough of the team. Following are several production stills from our very first day of shooting.




I'm not sure why I look like a forty year old woman in the last one. Eh, take what you can get, right ladies?

Goddamn.

Been a while, ain't it? We've got some new production stills ready to show, if Leeford ever gets around to uploading them somewhere, we also have a new promo you might never see. Neat! We think ComedySportz will let us play with them on May 16th, so that's what we're going with until we say otherwise. We should wrap shooting by the beginning of May, and given our proclivity to short bursts of extreme productivity, that should mean everything will align itself perfectly for the show date. Neat! As ever, the show will be at 10 PM with an open bar and waitstaff, and only $5. Check out any of Milwaukee's lame-ass clubs--the cover's going to be 3 times that or more. What do you really want to do on a Friday night, stand in line to get ignored by fuckin' skanks or come laugh your ass off at us?

Cream of Wheat Recipe

Cream of Wheat is prepared by boiling water and slowly pouring in the farina while stirring. As it's stirred, the farina starts to thicken and mix with the water, creating a mixture that thickens depending on the ratio of liquid to farina. Some choose to use milk instead of, or in addition to water, to give the resulting food a creamier taste. Currently there are three available original mixes, the difference being in the time it takes to prepare — 10-minute, 2 ½-minute or 1-minute.

Just thought everyone would like to know!

Meanwhile...

TJR's improv alter-ego "Dos Extremos" recently won ComedySportz-Milwaukee's Rec League Championship with a decidedly biased victory over the Stopmotion Dinosaurs. The championship-clinching vote was purchased from none other than CSz founder and progenitor Dick Chudnow, who owed Mike a dollar.

Thid past Friday, Dos Extremos played a professional show against an all-star cast of ComedySportz veterans and, through sheer force of the LeFevre family, won handily. Can any challenger knock them from their lofty perch in the upcoming season?

Rec League begins anew in mid-January.

All is a Buzz on the Lake Front

Greetings all! Are you having Track Jacket withdrawals? Well no need to worry fans, all five of you. The Track Jacket Revue held its first meeting to discuss the future of TJR and we're planning a lot for 2008.
Beginning this winter we will begin video production of our all too sweet video sketches. Our next show will be in the Spring of '08, an exact date has not been set.
We'll then take a short break to travel to China for our respective Olympic specialities: Mike-One Man Water Polo, Lee-Septathlon, Vince-Cheerleading. After winning our gold metals, we'll have plenty of momentum as we preform our third show in the Fall.
And to round out the year we'll have a Christmas Special! So it'll be a busy 2008, but we love doing it and you apparently love watching it. Check in later for more details.

Don't Forget!

Track Jacket Revue is under constant judgement and criticism over at Funny or Die! Help us out by voting us funny, or else we'll be summarily executed. If you weren't able to come to our show, this is a good opportunity for you to see some of our sketches, like this hilarious commercial parody starring the incomparable Michael T. Kauth!

Thank you and good night!

Well, we're one show down and a infinite more to go.

Seriously, thanks go to everyone who helped make our premiere show, "Pulp Comedy from Concentrate" a possibility and more importantly a huge success! I don't want to get into specifics, but I will say this, we broke even and then some. Boo-yahs all around.

Also, if you want a PDF of the program from the show, which contained a smart and hilarious crossword, you can download it here.

Also, make sure to stay tuned to our blog, here, at this website that you're viewing now.

Rowley out.

Show! Tonight! Be there!

Not much more than that to say. It's $5 at 10 PM at ComedySportz Milwaukee, 420 S 1st St in Walkers Point. Come to the 7:30 ComedySportz show while you're at it, and stick around for a mere $5 more. At ComedySportz Milwaukee. 420 S First St. In Milwaukee. At ComedySportz. 10 PM. $5.

Sorry for That

I'm truly sorry for the outlandish font size and excesses of capitals and exclamation points in the previous post. Do understand that we are not accountable for Vince's actions, but be aware that he has been satisfactorily sedated, and shall not awaken until 9:15 Friday night.

THE SHOW IS NIGH

Our premiere show, Pulp Comedy from Concentrate, is only a few days away and much to our surprise we're ready for it! All of our video has been edited, we know our lines, we have costumes and props, and sound and light. But more than anything else we have a talented crew to execute the show to its highest potential. I think everyone who comes will have a great time. So come to COMEDYSPORTZ this Friday, OCTOBER 12th at 10PM!!!! After all, we will have cake.

We be editing...

Hey All

Just so you know we are editing, rather than drinking. Below you can see our sweet, sweet intro that Mister Michael put together. Stay tuned and get ready for the show on October 12 @ 10pm at the wonderful, beautiful, amazing Comedy Sportz Arena!

Rowley out.

Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peak at what's in store for you at our show next Friday. With stunning visual effects such as these, you'll wonder how three college dropouts selling t-shirts out of the back of an '86 Aerostar could afford such a production!

Hey? Where's the Blog Posts?

You can tell by the lack of updates to the blog that we're really busy. No, seriously. As a start-up show, we didn't think things would work together quite as smoothly as they have. As such, prudence demands that you attend, if only to enrich your own life. We know you know when it is. But we'll remind you anyway:

Holy Shit! It's a Month to our Show!

We've been cranking away behind the scenes to get this ready for October 12th. If you're keeping track at home, that's little more than a month away, which sound like a lot, but isn't when you're a procrastinator. Which we are. The good news is our trailer will soon be running at halftimes of select ComedySportz shows, and we're underway with a new one, as well. Also, our posters and quartersheets will be printed soon, so look for them at your nearest Water Street and UWM campus.

Track Jacket's first video up and running!

Here it is ladies and gents, the first promo video for TJR's "Pulp Comedy From Concentrate"

We Hit A Snag

The old adage, "too good to be true," has crapped over TJR. We just signed our contract for the show, we are ready to start building the show and Lee just lost his last baby tooth! Things were going well and I say were because Mike was arrested earlier today on charges for an illegal sock puppet fighting ring. Mike has been accused of wearing socks, drowning them in the washing machine and then burning the carcasses in the drier, and some other unmentionable acts. Mike has denied the charges and I for one believe him. I've never seen Mike were socks, he usually goes barefoot, in fact, the bottoms of his feet are jet black. So in the mean time we're hanging in there and waiting to see what will happen next. So give a hoot and write your congress man or woman to free Micheal T. Bischofsky!
