Checked in, Checked out (shows)

We made it to the Salvage Vanguard Theater this evening. We checked in and got our badges / T Shirts and we checked out a couple shows.
Grandma Hates Technology was a very fun, cute improv show. A father/daughter team who improvise together. She's twelve (I think) and already a very clever improvisor. They're from New Jersey and they're not muscle-bound idiots!
Available Cup Holders - holy crap. The improvised set they did was hilarious right from the beginning. A group of "actors" putting up a play from the first table read - to the final show night. A ridiculous format for a team of 4 great improvisors. They had us laughing for 45 minutes straight.
Jill Bernard and our host Asaf did their two person set called Switch, in which Jill had the line of the night, "You are about to have the most magical evening of your night." Ridiculous.
She then surprised Asaf with a scooter she has been taking collections for, from the Austin improv community. It was pretty great. He was shocked. Now he'll never have to ask for a ride again.

Good first night for the Out Of Bounds comedy festival. Tomorrow night, we perform!
