So, the girl and I went to A+ Failing and Kick the Squirrel last Friday. A+ Failing’s a new improv. comedy troupe from Wilson High, determined to bring attention to the imminent DRAMA DIVISION CUT. That’s right. The entire drama department is going down the drain the rest of Portland’s public school system, at least at Wilson.

A+ Failing was pretty damn hysterical, most often running the gamut of the absurd, with a few repeating character bits.
Kick The Squirrel ^[3] had an incredibly tight act, starting from a stock Bar scenario. I suggested, when prompted for a name of a famous public figure, Lyndon B. Johnson. Why? Because I have an essay on the switch from liberal reform ideals to conservative ideals in America due tomorrow.

Oh, good times.
