Wednesday Jun 01 2005 The Pleaser Twins
Wednesday, June 1, 2005 at 9:47AM Tonight at Invite Them Up, Bobby Tisdale will be proudly showcasing his much ballyhooed video titled "The Pleaser Twins." Recently, this short caused 500 college students at Cornell to erupt into a chorus of deafening boos. Hopefully, the vid will make its way to the internet, but until then, see it first on the BIG SCREEN at Rififi.Invite Them Up Lineup

The Apiary | Post a Comment in General Interest Sunday May 29 2005 Improv Everywhere Rules World with U2 Rooftop Stunt, Dominates Media
Sunday, May 29, 2005 at 11:16PM Last week, The Apiary reported we had reason to believe the impromptu U2 concert on the top of an 8th Avenue building hours before U2's scheduled performance at Madison Square Gardens could have been the work of Improv Everywhere--the savvy band of improvisers, comedians, and performance artists who pull off tongue wagging, media swarming stunts every month or so. Our instincts were validated Sunday by--perhaps you've heard of them--The New York Times.In a simultaneous move, Improv Everywhere's astoundingly detailed account of the mission went live on their site yesterday as well. The reaction photographs of the frenzied passersby are especially striking. Especially especially striking is the shot of the dude with arm-braces seen raising the roof.Chris Kula, the guy who played U2's drummer in the mission, shows off his Summons on his site

The Apiary | 1 Comment in True Accounts Friday May 27 2005 The New York Post is totally In Touch with Indie Comedy and Indie Rock
Friday, May 27, 2005 at 7:25AM NY Post reporter and Tale of Two Cities' fantasy lover, Maureen Callahan, plopped out a nice feature about the burgeoning NYC comedy scene and its relation to indie rock. While The Apiary doesn't quite envision the same crowds you'd see at Invite them Up as you would at say on Last Night's Party.com, we concede that the cool kids are starting to catch on that there's tons of amazing comedy performed every night in NYC for FREE or for POCKET CHANGE. However, perhaps M.I.A. being booked on Conan this week is some sort of overarching testament to the synergy.

The Apiary | Post a Comment in General Interest Thursday May 26 2005 New Talent Discovered: Joshua Grosvent!
Thursday, May 26, 2005 at 8:53PM Last Sunday at Saturday Night Rewritten--a weekly sketch comedy performance set up just like SNL--the musical guest, Joshua Grosvent, nearly stole the show with a couple of fun songs. One was about how NYU girls wouldn't talk to him if he were on fire and had a bag of money. He followed it up with an improvised piano tune about pizza and sex (audience suggestions, mind you), and another about diddlin' old broads. Here are some of his recordings!Joshua's My Space page contains both of the above mentioned (non-improvised) songsHe does Journey covers too!
