"Here comes the flood..."
We have been away for a minute, but have been secretly very busy. Pistol Party is rolling on, having just wrapped up another sold out show at the Lafayette Brewing Co. and Pistol Party 9.0: "Pajama Ham Sandwiches" (Pistol Party X: "Cuatro De Mayo Party!!!" is Tuesday May 4th at Town Hall, 9pm).
A very ambitious 2010 indeed. We'll be rolling out the video for "SOUP" in mid-May. Keep your eyes peeled for a viewing party with cocktails. Here's a crappy video of the live version:
And here are some photos from the greenscreen shoot at our rehearsal space:
After a test run in Lafayette, IN, our good friends,the Muckleberry Brothers, have booked a tour of suburban Chicago malls slated for this spring. Keep an eye out for a documentary of that in the coming weeks as well:
We're looking to get to both coasts this year, and here in Chicago we're doing a Pistol Party run at the Chemically Imbalanced Theater (Southport and Irving Park) June 10-12 at 8pm.
In the meantime, we'll be helping out our good friend the 80's Clown at Chemically Imbalanced Thursday nights in May, our friends from Pistol Party (Drew Frees and John Leadley), host a stand up set "Please Enjoy Yourself" every Monday at Underground Lounge (Newport just east of Clark/Sheffield) at 8pm, and we've never had a bad time at Entertaining Julia (Town Hall Pub Sunday nights).
Here's more clips from recent Pistol Parties, keep up with us on Facebook for chances to win free tickets to Pistol Party 10.0 "Cuatro de Mayo Party!" (Tuesday, May 4; click HERE for Facebook Event page):

New
2010 kicked off with a bang, Chicago Sketchfest, where we performed, created a full theater toilet paper war, and won the www.atom.com video contest. We're laying low for a bit preparing for what promises to be an even bigger year. There are some things on the horizon though:
March 2nd: Pistol Party 8.0!! "Meeting Dionysus"
The 8th installment of Pistol Party will be a wild one. PBR sponsors what Timeout Chicago called "a spirited night of sketches" in their Critic Pick. Contests, standup, sketch, video...anything can happen here. And it will.
March 27th: Pistol Party at the Lafayette Brewing Company 8pm
After an amazing first run in Lafayette, we return to the LBC to blast out another show to a packed house. www.lafayettebrewingco.com for more info.
June 10-12: Pistol Party Midsummer Night's Mayhem
We're doing a 3 night run of our best, most polished material at the Chemically Imbalanced Theater at Irving and Southport in Chicago. Should be the pinnacle of the summer.
We are also planning a theater run of shows that will be coming together in the near future, so keep your eyes posted...and look out for more new videos at www.vimeo.com/thinktank

Tank full o' News
Hey Kids
Is it summer yet? Oh...it's September? Well then, my my.
There's a bunch of stuff going on in the Think Tank world I thought I'd share with you folks. First off we'd like to thank everyone who's come out to the first two Pistol Party installments. Boy oh boy Tuesday night's 2.0 was a blast.
Next Pistol Party will be Oct. 6th at Town Hall Pub.
Pistol Party 1.0
In other news, Kevin has been busy with a fantastic play with Halcyon Theatre called Lorca in a Green Dress. This play deals with the tragic life and death of Federico Garcia Lorca, widely considered one of Spain's most influential poets and playwrights. The show runs Thursdays and Saturdays at 8pm at Lincoln Square Theatre. For ticket and show info, click HERE. Oh, and Kevin's not funny in this show. Maybe he's not funny in a lot of shows, but definitely not in this one.
Lorca in a Green Dress
Next Thursday, September 10th, Paul will be hosting the Pabst Blue-Ribbon Brawl at Logan Square Auditorium. This should be a hilarious night of pro-wrestling silliness, beer, and PBR giveaways.
And finally, in case you missed Pistol Party 1.0 and 2.0, our dear friend and colleague in comedy, Mindy Tindle recently did some traveling and documented both her preparation for her journey as well as the journey itself. Enjoy!
