Abel Brainz Digest, Vol. 74 - April, 2025
Happy April everyone!
Prince said sometimes it snows in April (he also died in April) Maybe he meant it snows pollen. I hope y'alls allergies have been a lot kinder than mine.
Let's get to it.
cool improv stuff
Your favorite jam is back! Only one time this month because I'm a busy guy. (and most likely shifting to once a month for reasons below)
Thursday April 17th at 8pm. Mark it, dude. I'll be giving notes.
more cool improv stuff
I'm in ROAD TRIP on Friday, April 11th at Dad's Garage Theatre. I'm very excited and honored to be asked back and if it's half as fun as the last show I was a part of, it's gonna be a helluva fun time.
even more cool improv stuff
I'm offering an improv class! That's right, it's happening.
Your Favorite Improv Class is a 3 week class with a no-obligation-to-perform time slot during Your Favorite Improv Jam on the 4th Thursday of the month. Which is why it will most likely be once a month.
First class is on Thursday, May 1st at 8pm.

cool movie stuff
Late pass to A Complete Unknown which was very well done all around.
Sly Lives! was incredible. I was on a Sly binge earlier this month because of it. Fresh is a pretty great album for mellow afternoons.
cool book stuff
I enjoyed Amy Poehler's autobiography, Yes, Please.
On Tyranny is quite the wake-up call.
I'm currently really feeling The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store and am excited to jump into Sons of El Rey.
What are y'all reading?
farewell
RIP Val Kilmer. I loved Top Gun as a kid and still do. Heat might be the only movie over 2 hours that needs every minute of it. And Val Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday in Tombstone is quite perfect.
That about does it for me.
