Produce (Short) Movies

August means SNL ticket raffle!

Step 1: Copy this email address: snltickets@nbcuni.com

Step 2: Paste into “To” field of email.

Step 3: Enter your contact information into the email.

Step 4: Click Send.

You are now in the running to win tickets (via random lottery) for the upcoming season of Saturday Night Live.

Last year they were pretty clear that you should send only one email. This year’s info doesn’t mention it. So if you think that spamming them with one million emails will help, then go for it.

But I think it will just piss them off.

Here’s the link (scroll down to the SNL info): http://www.nbc.com/tickets/

Hope to see you there!

Here is last year’s post if you want more detailed info:

Saturday Night Live lets you enter your name in a raffle every August for the upcoming season.

You used to have to send in a postcard (or perhaps several postcards… I never did it because I always imagined someone in their basement writing out thousands of postcards to win tickets.)

Now you just send an email. And they only take one per person.

So you only have this month to send your email in. If you win, thank you in advance for taking me!

Saturday Night Live
To enter the Saturday Night Live ticket lottery for the upcoming 2007-2008 season send an email in the month of August only to snltickets@nbcuni.com. Please include all contact information and do not request a specific date. If you are selected, you will receive two tickets to a random show date and time. You may only send one email per household and all audience members must be at least 16 years of age. Please note that entering the lottery does not guarantee tickets, and you will only be notified in the event that you are chosen.

Stand-by tickets are distributed at 7am on the 49th st. side of 30 Rockefeller Plaza on the mornings of the tapings. You may choose a stand-by ticket for either the 8pm dress rehearsal or the 11:30pm live taping. Aside from minimal, necessary breaks, all stand-by line members must remain in line at all times. Stand-by tickets are limited to one per person and are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. NBC staff reserves the right to revoke or not issue any ticket to anyone in line if proper procedures are not followed. Please arrive no later than 7:15pm for the dress rehearsal or 10:45pm for the live show. A stand-by ticket does not guarantee admission and no one under the age of 16 will be admitted.

A confession…

I have been indulging in my most sinful indulgence…

DON’T TELL ANYONE….

SHUSSSSSHHHHH…. IT’S A SECRET!

It is stage acting.

Yes, I’m back to my old fun! I know my secret is safe with you!

In L.A. referring to oneself as an actor was the same as referring to oneself as a professional leper, if said actor did not have movie credits, kick ass connections or a reoccurring roll on a series.

Here in Vegas, I’m back to the art of it and the fun of it and I imagine it feels like the equivalent to what a heroine addict feels when s/he has been given a dose.

And it’s the good stuff… It’s pure and without any byproducts.

It’s comedy. It’s sketch. It’s improv. It’s messing with tourists and locals while in character.

So that’s my indulgence in debauchery.

And as my comedy group works on comedy, we look for the moralistic thrust behind it. If we make a poopoo joke or a bunch of poopoo jokes, we look for the through-line that can sort of be the “good word” that subtly hints underneath the content.

It’s not so pragmatic that it becomes annoying… It’s just like, “Ok, what we just did is funny. How can we make it stronger? How can we give it a “I learned something today” sort of thing like South Park does?

(I like to model the South Park writing style and career behavior, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are great inspirations to me).

Anyhoo, I’ll keep you posted on my latest indulgences and antics in the City of Sin.

(BTW, this post was originally part of another blog post on a different blog but I thought it was better suited for this blog.)
