Thank you again,

The Ficus

Kristin Rickrolling the audience at JCON.

Thank you Kristin for making this what it was. Keyboard Samurai had a mini-cast present yesterday who performed indoors and out; but today we had a larger group and were actually drawing people out from the venues to witness our antics.  Major “Kthnx Bi” to the dude in the white tie and no shirt for asking us to move our performance away from the main building, I suppose they didn’t like us upstaging what was occurring indoors. The crowds were large, the music loud, and the applause refreshing.

Thank you to Kristen (Graverobber), Laurel (Blind Mag), Kat (Luigi), Cindy (Shilo) and Keith (Pavi) for taking time out from the convention to perform and pass out nearly 150 fliers to the crowds which formed. Additional thanks to our additional entourage who attended today including Cory (Nathan), Itzel (Amber), and Noreen (Luigi) for making today great. Lastly, before the photos are dispersed throughout the internet, who ever wasn’t able to attend missed the debut performance of The Ficus as Rotti Largo.

Thank you again to Cindy, Kat, Laurel, Keith, and Kristen for your dedication to the cause, and to Diana and the girl in the cute cat beanie who shall remain nameless for the time being (yes, I look forward to your email) for documenting our time at the convention.

If you have any photos of the event, please feel free to use the director’s link to the left.

Much love,
The Ficus (Jcon’s only Rotti Largo)

As for what was rehearsed, we tightened up our character interaction in Zydrate Anatomy and had some fun with improve exercises to raise our overall ability coping with unforeseen issues. Lastly, we were presented with an email from Terrance regarding our publicity stunt in Casselberry the other week, needless to say he loved it and saved the images to his computer.
