i'm wondering, did their improv set just not "connect", or did it lack vitality, or was it really sloppy, or something else? i missed them when they came around to NYC last weekend, and i've got major regrets right now. so i'm curious as to whether these guys are just not in "shape" or is this simply a matter of taste? oh, and how was James Plotkin? btw, it really is a sad day in kraut-land when expressions like "old fart Can guys" start getting thrown around. :) read the Bible my friends, learn from Jonah and his repentance in the belly of the whale... Bt.
