<p>Monday Jul 31 2006  Liam McEneaney Celebrates Another Year of Life</p>
<p>Monday, July 31, 2006 at 11:27AM Conveniently located on the Del Close Marathon Trail leading from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater to the Abingdon Theater was Liam McEneaney celebrating another year of life with his famous comedian friends at Walter's Bar this past Saturday. As with last year, Walter's patrons seemed a little confused and a little turned on by all the fresh (read: under-40, not yet addicted to Percoset) faces milling about on their turf.

<p>The Apiary | 2 Comments in General Interest Monday Jul 31 2006  The Del Close Marathon 8 @ UCBT - 7.28.6 - 7.30.6</p>
<p>Monday, July 31, 2006 at 8:56AM Horatio Sanz does a Dr. Phil impersonationNOTES--The DCM is a lot like a 54 hour frat-party without all the date rape. --The late night shows were crazy. Many of the wee hour performances devolved quickly into drunken nonsense. --Stand-by lines were waaaaay long this year. Once the theater reached capacity, people with wristbands were told to queue up in a line. After 15-30 people would leave the theater, the doorinterns would let in another 15-30. Since the audience was most likely to stay put during the blocks of time featuring the most well known performers, if you showed up in high spirits at 10:00 PM on Saturday night (and you didn't know the guys at the door), reality checked you really hard when you realized you're gonna be in line for hours. --Some of The Apiary's most satifsying rock concert memories are of bands who have an unpredictable disregard for their own bodies and who put the safety of an incensed audience in peril. Walsh, Roberts, and Besser's hour of buffoonery on Saturday was the comedic equivalent of one of those dangerous rocker thrillrides that theater-goers are likely to remember. --HIGHLIGHTS WITNESSED: I Eat Pandas, Smartest Panel of Experts, UCB, UCBW.CHATTER ON THE INTERNETAST Users Share their OpinionsKeith Has Tons of Sweet Pics and Video Clips From the MarathonRead About This Improviser Barfing During the Street RitualOfficial IRC DCM 2006 Highlights ThreadNorth Carolina Improviser Decides After DCM that NYC Ain't Her ThingDan Dickinson Announces His Best of the FestDebauchery on an out-of-control Cruzin' Cooler travelling 2 miles per hour</p>

<p>The Apiary | 8 Comments in Improv Friday Jul 28 2006  The Del Close Marathon Ultimate Tip Guide</p>
<p>Friday, July 28, 2006 at 7:50AM The Del Close Marathon starts today and the buzz is overwhelming: More than 150 shows and over 74 hours of nonstop improv spread across 3 stages. The Apiary asked UCBT LEADERS for some tips on making it thru and letting the good times roll. Anthony King wants you to know:1. Don't just see shows at UCBT. Go to the second and third stages at the Abingdon Theatre. There are some awesome shows over there. 2. If you're trashed by 9pm you're not going to make it to 5am. Pace yourself. 3. Eat some fruit.4. Do not miss the Pegasus Pussyfart / Ching Chong Bundy hour.Lives will be changed.Eric Appel sez:1. Make sure you're good and drunk so you can fully enjoy those late-late shows Like Match Game 76 and The Dicemen. 2. Choose the seat that's right for youIf you're planning on staying through the whole marathon, find a good seat you could sleep in. Stage left at the top is nice. Last year, I saw people sleeping under the seats. 3. Make sure you catch KROMPH Breakfast. They feed you. Justin Purnell prepared a printable pocket guide:1. Eat Beef JerkyPowerbars are for losers. I discovered at DCM 6 the power of Beef Jerky...it tastes great and since it is dried it can rapidly absorb beer. Yes, I made that up. Anyway, I try to load up with a bag or so by about 6am on friday. I usually to go with a nice mesquite flavor...that teriyaki nonsense may make you look cultured, but if you're not within running distance of your home bathroom, you're going to make some enemies.2. Drink Amstel LightA lot of people think that Amstel is my favorite beer. That's completely untrue. I hate Amstel. I drink it because it tastes so bad that I never drink enough to get a hangover. Be pragmatic. It's a MARATHON. Suck it up and do what you've got to do.3. Get some air and go to the second stages.If you need to wake up, a quick ten-minute walk to an awesome show is usually a good idea.4. Don't go into the marathon looking to hook up.The DCM is like a family reunion. Don't french your sister. Also, you're not seducing anyone with that smell, and there is absolutely no privacy...do you really want your judgement-impaired hookup discussed on the Apiary Network, the IRC, and yesAND.com?5. Be open to hooking up.Rule 4 is kind of a loose one.6. STAY LATEThe stuff that you will talk about with a mixture of shame and reverence will probably happen between 2 and 8 am. That's just simple facts.7. Keep it FunThe most important thing you can do at the Marathon is laugh. See new groups, snuggle with your old favorites, get ready for ridiculous bits, and do what you can to take it all in.8. Ching Chong</p>
