Dave and Will Prog Rock

Editor Dave Kovenetsky and I stand in to test lighting in the AOL Studio. I think this would make a great cover for the all keyboard prog rock album Dave and I want to make called “Hines and Kovenetsky: Journey to Aurora.”

Tabitha and I saw August: Osage County last night. Here’s a shocking opinion: I think it’s good! It long (3 hours and 10 minutes plus two ten minute intermissions) but you don’t notice it. The characters are instantly interesting all by themselves and also begin f*cking with each other in compelling ways. My one very minor quibble is that I started to be aware that everyone in the family [...]

The Stepfathers are in Cagematch tonight. Come on and watch. We are opposing Derrick, who have approximately fifteen thousand blindly adoring fans coming in to cheer their heroes on. Should be a good show!


YouTube - Link to Hillary Takes Ohio

I know I’m video crazed in this blog lately, but that’s how I’ve been spending my time. For our last video with the Hillary Clinton impersonator, we were pressed for time so I re-did the template I had used for News Anchors, where Ben and Gavin just improvised incorrect headlines. In this one, Hillary states incorrect or obscure [...]

[funnyordie 8212431415 nolink]Kevin and I made this video (thank you Cat for filming) and showed it at our Cagematch two weeks ago. Previously, our videos had been deliberately overly-cute montages of our childhood photos. This was more of a sketch and even though it went over well, it’s probably not as appealing as photos of Kevin at the age of 12 holding a model of a solar system in our kitchen.

Still, I was glad to do it. For Christmas, Kevin had received a DVD of the He-Man Christmas Special. Brilliantly, they include a montage of the morals that ended each He-Man episode. Watching just the morals — all stilted and weird — was hilarious! I really wanted [...]

Cabled

I got cable installed in my apartment yesterday. I hadn’t had it in — maybe three years? Time Warner is a horrible company, but I needs my high-speed connection. A weird part of TWC is it seems that the only deal close to fair is getting all three service — phone, cable and internet. Getting a subset of the three seems to be not that much cheaper. They want us all on the hook for everything, and I’m falling for it!

Brothers Hines lost Cagematch, but we had a fun show that we enjoyed. Kevin initiated every scene in our show, and I think I edited all but one. That’s how we do. I’ve come to believe that our shows are [...]

Brothers Hines Tonight

Brothers Hines: 1978 and 2007

The Brothers Hines take the stage tonight at Cagematch, as part of the 2007 Cagematch Tourney. We face Omlette Vision, which is comprised of Andrew Secunda and Michael Delaney — two of the best improvisers around! I hope I don’t sound defeatist when I say that my brother and I are doomed. But it will be a fun show! Come out and watch!

Above photo: 1978 and 2007. Photo features all three brothers, though tonight’s improv has just Kevin and myself.
