- Currie Adams Number Retired
Currie Adams has gone the way of Mark McGwire. After two years in the group he has gone
on to better things, such as public broadcasting, DVD collecting and fantasy film watching.
While this is surprising to some, it is not news to others. Tom Brokaw was aghast, yet Dan
Rather was nonchalant about the whole thing. Go figure. Currie can be reached for comment
through Miss Cleo and Hospitaliano®.

- That was quick - Bye Ely
Ely Smith has left the group. Yep, two shows and then off to pursue the acting thing.
For those of you enjoying the presence of a female on stage again, we will have to go
back to the old standard of Bill in drag. Meanwhile look for Ely at various and sundry
WSDT Theatre Performances. She'll be the one not in our group anymore.

- Ely Smith joins the group
Ely Smith joined the group on October 9th, 2001. This marks a grand
return of estrogen to the stage. We are very pleased to have Ely in
the group and look forward to her every contribution. Yes we know that
she spells her name Ellie formally, but this is her stage spelling so
relax.-

- September 18th and 25th Shows
All monies collected in the tip jar for both shows were donated to the
American Red Cross disaster relief fund. We are proud to report that
the 18th show set a record at $162.20 which was promptly broken by the
show on the 25th with a take of $183.65. Even better was that Patrick
Sullivan's matched with $100.00 for the 25th. So our grand total to the
Disaster Relief Fund was $445.85. Thank you all for your contributions and
thanks to Sean and Frank for the match.

- Memphis Comedy Festival Big Success
The Festival was a huge success. We made new friends, reaffirmed old
enemies and helped to make Beale street sticky two nights in a row.

- First Patrick Sullivan's Show a Huge Hit
Our first show at Patrick Sullivan's 3rd Floor Party Room was
a huge success. Record crowd, record laughs and record breaking in general.
This is anticipated to be the regular type of Tuesday night show that
we have when situated above the streets of Knoxville. Don't question,
don't delay and don't wait. Get your butt downtown and then proceed to
laugh it off.
I had just come from a horrible accident and was unable
to speak or move. But before the first half hour was over I was dancing and laughing
and my portfolio had tripled in value. These guys are miracle workers.

- New Venue on Tuesday, July 10, 2001 - Patrick Sullivan's
On July 10th we will be moving up to Patrick Sullivan's third
floor party room. Why you ask? Don't be rude, just wait for an
explanation. We have run out of space at Manhattan's. That's right,
we are so popular that we have had to turn away people because we
did not have enough space to seat our fans. So come out on the
same night, Tuesday, same time, 8:30 p.m., but different location
the third floor of Patrick Sullivan's, diagonally located across the
street from Manhattan's. Don't worry, we'll have signs and maps up
at the old digs to guide you on your way. See you there!-

- Josh Davenport slacking off
Josh has taken a two month sabbatical to indulge in a bit
of personal growth. He is investing time in the study of the bard.
What you ask? Again, some damn patience. Josh is with the Shakespeare
in the Park festival doing some roles and stuff like that. Anyhow, he
is supposed to let us know when the shows are, so we'll let you know.
