Tenn. couple accused of assault using Cheetos

Rich! From the Associated Press

"Fri Jun 26, 3:19 pm ET
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. – Authorities said a couple got into a fight using Cheetos. The Bedford County Sheriff's Department said a 40-year-old man and 44-year-old woman became involved in a 'verbal altercation.' Somehow, the orange puffy snacks were used in the assault.
Deputies said they were charged with domestic assault. No one was hurt.
According to the Shelbyville Times-Gazette, both posted bond of $2,500."

What a waste of Cheetos! I hope that $2,500 bond taught them a lesson to never to waste such a delicious snack. At least they weren't Flamin' Hots. Thanks to Katelyn for the tip.

Funny girls can SANG!

A tribute to two of my fav funny gals on youtube. I've posted vids of these two ladies in random acts of shelarity (see. angsty AKB-hating teenagers). But did you know that they have secret (or actually not secret at all) sick voices???! Let's give some love to the girls who can wail and are still not afraid to act a fool.

Vote for me for Mr. Youtube!

Okay so I'm def not one of the most subscribed to guys on the net but Michael Buckley totes gave me a shout-out at the beginning of his vid announcing Mr. Youtube 2009! I would just like to say that as Mr. Youtube I would promise to solve world hunger, bring peace to places such as Iraq, South Africa and the Asain countries, and last but not least, pass a law adding flamin' hot cheetos as a recognized food group on the nutrition pyramid. You can just write my name in the comments section of the video right here and hey, if anyone wants to make a video response, you KNOW I wouldn't mind :D

GOODBYE CLARK!!

The ladies ensemble of POPPINS prepared a special goodbye to cast member Clark Johnsen. Clark was one of the brains behind all the CrossPatch Production videos that we've made in the last few months. I am personally soooo sad to see him leave. He was one of my closest friends in the show but I'm so excited that he's leaving for such a cool project. Clark is going to be in the upcoming Broadway show THE ADDAMS FAMILY.

MY NEW YOUTUBE OBSESSION!

Thank God! Just when I was on the hunt for the next new amazing girl on youtube my prayers were answered! Jessica Cornish, I am your new biggest fan. She's sporting a hot dry belt, flawless riffs, a sexy British accent and is bursting with originality. Thanks to Andy Mientus & Lizzie Klemperer for this amazing tip.

HARRY POTTER: The Musical

Um, this is sooo campy. Leave it to a bunch of Umich Theatre/MT kids to write HARRY POTTER: The musical. I have a feeling these videos are going to go mad viral by the end of the week. Go Blue!

Julie Klausner back on youtube!

Oh Thank God! Julie Klausner of Jackie and Julie (See "Welcome to my House") just made a new hilarious video. Thank you undersexed psychic lady.

Riding the Swings at Navy Pier

This is kind of a random short video, but it's Brian and I riding the Wave Rider at Navy Pier in Chicago. So fun! More so it's an excuse to play a song that I'm obsessed with right now, "I Fought the Battle of Trinidad & Tobago" by Loney, Dear.

Help vote my friend into RuPaul's Drag Race!!

Hey Bloggers, help vote one of the most fabulous, campy people I know Alex Michaels (Alexis Michelle) into RuPaul's Drag Race. Alexis is ridiculous and will no doubt be one of the richest possible additions to the Drag Race. Alex was one of my favorite people at Umich and has a leg up on the competition because he's got a full on MT Ivy-league trained coloratura soprano! Watch her audition tape and take literally 2 seconds to vote for her on the link below!

Vote for Alexis!

Happy 2-year Anniversary Andrew's Blog!!!

Wow, this is crazy! I can't believe we're already at year 2! You guys have been amazing for supporting me this whole time. Um, I guess this video is what my life would look like if it were made into some trendy independent film. Apparently all you need to do that is to slow down some nicely shot clips and play Cat Power underneath them. So for the second anniversary of Andrew's Blog, here's a count down of the 50 most emo moments in the Andrew's Blog history!

Episode 12 Outtakes!

Hahaha, these Battery's Down outtakes are VERY campy this month!! Check em out!

The final Los Hombres de "El Cuartel" :(

It's true! Clark has left us to go be in The Addams Family on Bway. This is his very emotional farewell performance with the Hombres.

Which one of you betches is this??

MT Dictionary
Um, this is one of the most brills things I've seen in weeks!! Some anonymous campy person published the MT Dictionary and it is RICH! I feel like this MUST be someone I know. You can remain in your anonymity but you MUST promise to keep updating these.

Here's a couple of examples
Belting-At-Gunpoint-adjective- Describing belting so ferocious and brills that it seems
as if the beltress has a gun to her back and is being forced to belt in exchange for her
life.
When she belted "I Want it All", I could've sworn she was belting-at-gunpoint.

The Trifecta-noun- The "Ivy Leagues" of Musical Theatre Colleges that is comprised of: CCM, UMich, and Carns. Although these reputable schools currently sit at the top of the college-MT throne, remember that no one in the Tony-winning cast of Next to Normal attended any of these schools (moral: fierceness is not measured by matriculation alone.)
1.Person 1: Are you auditioning places?
Person 2: Yeah, I'm doing the trifecta and some other fierce programs.
Person 1: Good luck.

Caaaampy Paint Commercial

Um this commercial is so rich. It's for Glidden Paint. (What is that?!?) Who knows. This is ripe and there are some very rich cameos by some very familiar faces. Thank you Connor Gallagher for another rich excuse for a production number. GLIDDEN PAINT!

The Amazingness that is Kate Pazakis!

Hey guys! Check out the new vids from the Kate Pazakis CD release concert. She looks and sounds unreal! I posted a few of them on KeenanBlogger and I'm in the process of putting a few others on UrInTown. Even though Kate has the rights to these songs I'm scared stupid Warner Music Group will not investigate and just delete the vids and suspend my account so that's why a few are on KeenanBlogger. But definitely check em out on that channel because they are some of the best.


And if you haven't already, go buy her album on itunes or get it in stores on July 7th. I am LIVING for this CD! It's totes the top played on my itunes right now.

Rowboat 22

If you guys didn't catch this month's BATTERY'S DOWN, number 1, what's wrong with you! Go check it out! But number 2, here's a production number from it. I'm still marveling at the brilliance of it. Way to make a freaking campy, campy, genius period number guys! We could have never pulled this off in season 1! Everyone's working so hard this season and it really shows. And thanks Brynn O'Malley for your star turn in this series.

The Great White Way Report: TONY after party

I stumbled upon these guys a few weeks ago and have totally been hooked. They make a great on screen duo and always super creative. I think this is my fav of their videos so far. It's their TONY recap and it's so priceless! Check em out and don't forget to sub their channel. Keep it up Coleman & Samantha!

The Creel Deal

After watching Gavin's amazing rock-out performance last night, I was so proud and wanted to see if I'd missed any cool stuff of him on youtube. I just found a fantastic interview/bio piece on Gavin by CBS news correspondent Itay Hod talking about his TONY noms, HAIR and his strides for marriage equality. What an incredible role model for any kids out there (gay or straight) to stand up for what they believe in and take pride in whatever they chose to do in life.

Expialidocious

Thank you trendy MARY POPPINS remix! I just added this to my gym workout playlist. The track is composed of a sine wave bass, custom drum sequences, and sounds recorded from the Disney film MARY POPPINS. Completely creative and practically perfect if I do say so...and I will!
