Quick Hello!

Hello Loyal Readers!

I hate it when we say, "Well another show happened..." but that is what transpired last Friday evening, after all. The Neutrino Crew put on another completely improvised movie, blowing the collective minds of a sold out Bryant-Lake Bowl house. New to the crew were Lauren Anderson (brilliantly awesome) and Jen Scott (awesomely brilliant). Tim Hellendrung produced, Fred Beukema directed and Troy Zee got to act. All and all, not too shabby.

One of Nick Ryan's friends saved the entire show by loaning us his video camera 3 minutes before the show started, and one of the BLB staffers allowed one of our teams into his Jesus apartment for a scene or two - to those men we say "Thank You!"

YOU NOW ONLY HAVE TWO MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO CATCH NEUTRINO!

Friday, May 30th.
And at the Twin Cities Improv Festival in late June.

Don't be a dummy...get tickets now.

Also, keep your eyes peeled to the blog for in the next few days cause I'm going to break a Golden Neutrino Rule or two and throw up a few seconds of actual footage up. Fred did demand the "Cane Flipper" be exposed for all to see...his demands may be met. IN ADDITION TO THAT, visit our YouTube page and you will witness an update quite soon.

To tide you over until then, below are a couple photos giving you an All-Access Glimpse into the magical backstage world of Neutrino Twin Cities (and one onstage glimpse). Enjoy...



Exciting, huh? The coffee cup is one of our esteemed runners, Carmen Savageau.



People sometimes spit or punch things because they get so excited to do a show. Clear evidence right here, friends.



That's most of us saying "Goodnight." Not pictured: (off to the left) Justin, Lauren, Hannah and (off to the right) Nick & Jen. And to think, we each make roughly $375 per show. THAT'S how many people come to these things. We are incredibly talented at doing The Neutrino Video Project: Twin Cities Happy Time Show!

WINNER!

The polls are closed, and Dena, aka "Denakaann", is the winner of the 36-hour-turnaround-come-to-the-show-on-this-rainy-night contest (see below)! Dena wins not only for her kind, heartfelt words, but also for being the one person who entered that has both been to an actual Neutrino show and isn't directly related to one of the Neutrino cast members.

That said, if any of the other three "contestants" find me (Eric Knobel) at the show tonight, a (reasonably priced) drink of your chosing will be purchased for you, just for playing along. Thank you!

Please return soon, and tell your friends to visit the blog. I believe we're all winners for just learning how much more traffic we need here.

Thanks for playing, and congratulations Dena!

P.S. Will there be a contest for the May 30th show? Yes.

WIN A FREE TICKET TO OUR APRIL 25TH (Friday) SHOW!

Hey Folks!

We went out and did a little bit of organizing recently, and thought we might as well turn our efforts into a contest while we're at it...

Below is a list of every scene that has been performed in a Neutrino Twin Cities show since the "Soft Opening" of October '07. In the comments section, tell us in a few words what your favorite Neutrino TC scene (you've been witness to) has been and why. The person with the most touching/interesting/frightening/threatening/pitiful/good answer will win a free ticket to our show on Friday (April 25th!!), 10:30PM, at the Bryant-Lake Bowl. If you can't connect the scene you're thinking of with the list below, write anyway - two of us are slightly intelligent, and they'll figure it out, I'm sure.

It could be the easiest contest you ever enter...since I think two people read this blog.

If you are chosen as the winner, you will be alerted via e-mail on Friday afternoon! Good luck!

actually...

...we meant friday april 25th. the 25th. sorry. numbers make us nervous. don't show up on friday, april 28th because that doesn't exist.

Only three shows left!!

Hey You Who Reads This,

Remember that there are only three more opportunities to catch the genius of The Neutrino Video Project: Twin Cities before we explode into dust...for a few months at least.

Friday, April 28th.
Friday, May 30th.
And an appearance at the Second Annual Twin Cities Improv Festival in late June (probably June 27) - exact time, TBA.

After those three shows a break will be taken; notes will be jotted down, lenses will be cleaned, a new approach may be...approached, and the NTC that you know and love will be changed forever. So don't miss your chance to see us while we're still old school.

The shows are improvised and cheap, so if you came to all three, it would be worth it in every possible way your mind can think of.

Oh, and keep checking this blog to see how you could win a free ticket to our April show! Details coming soon...

In the meantime, have you met Aric McKeown?

Check one. Check. Check.

So does anyone still read this thing? We know that a lovely Spam Diva who wanted to shop us her "wares" certainly reads this...but we're not sure about anyone else. Please holler back if you do. We'd love to hear from you.

If you are here, I'm sure you're aware of our YouTube page, on which is this lovely pre-show trailer from the minds of Hannah Kuhlamnn and Troy Zimmerman. Well it appears that Hannah and Troy are owed a lot of money, as just two weeks after that trailer premiered, This Story followed. Coincidence?
