Ok, this is the call for comedy. Please register your favorite porter!
NAME
BOF: Comedy hour: p5p impressions night
DESCRIPTION
Summary
You heard me right, p5p impressions night at TPC. Don't even think about
trying to escape. Come, make us laugh, embar^W"do" your favorite Porter.
Everyone is fair game, including Porters of yore.
This event will be held on Thursday, July 26. We are scheduled for
8-10pm and, in reality, I hope we last an hour. ;-) Find us in the
Grande Ballroom A(East).
Host
That's me. I'll be moving this gathering along.
Judges
We require a panel of 5 judges. If you feel you have the bladder and
fortitude for it, please volunteer. Contestants may impersonate you, I
can't trust you to be honorable, so be honorable. :) The first 5
volunteers to reply will win.
Note: I have 4 Judges. I need one more, please sign up!
Contestants
Contestants may only impersonate one Porter. Unless a team ( yes, teams
are allowed, be creative :) is put together.
Play
Contestants will be drawn from a hat at random. Each contestant gets 5
minutes to act. All standard equipment is useable, you may need the p5p
archives to help the audience, who knows! At the end of the 5
minutes,each judge will score the contestant from 1 to 10 based on their
bias, the audience and any bribe money (provided I get my 40%).
Improve
If there aren't enough registered contestants to fit the time we have,
impove will be welcome at the end.
Winners
At the end of the night, the contestant with the highest score wins. If
there is a tie, we will either use applause from the audience or
paper-rock-scissors to decide a winner. Note: Not only does the
contestant win, but the Porter impersonated as well.
Prizes
The winner and his porter will win a prize. The prize is to be
determined. It will be determined when people offer to help pitch in,
email me! ;-)
No really, I need help. Is your company willing to give something? Are
you?
REGISTRATION
Send mail to casey@geeknest.com and register your porter.
CONTACT
Contact me at casey@geeknest.com to be a judge or help with money (or
anything) for a prize.
