Tour #3: Purdue University

We didn't get to see a whole lot of Purdue.  It was in and out.  But this is what the trip looked like.  A whole lot of midwest, not unlike the trip to Iowa last week.
Although this week, we did get to take this guy with us.
TJ "Shandogg" Shanoff was our understudy musical director for a couple shows this weekend.  Bryan is in DC with Barack Stars and Julie is out of town, so our director got to join us.  Although every time he tried to give a note, I quickly reminded him, "Shut up, understudy."  This is how I got fired. 

All bits aside, we had a great show, great house and we played the most fun improvised musical I've ever been a part of.  It was based on a suggestion of an eye disorder, whose name I can barely pronounce, let alone recall.  So Edgar played Dana's blind son and Ross and I, being bespectacled, had a baby with perfect vision that was being coveted by Arch's FBI agent to fight the Russians.  As with most improv, you had to be there.  But it was a pretty incredible 25 minutes of musical make-em-ups. 

Thanks, Purdue!
