Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Truth in Comedy: The Manual of Improvisation

Description

The 'Harold', an innovative improvisational tool, helped many actors on the road to TV and film stardom, including George Wendt (Norm on Cheers). Now it is described fully in this new book for would-be actors and comics. The 'Harold' is a form of competitive improv involving 6 or 7 players. They take a theme suggestion from the audience and 'free associate' on the theme into a series of rapid-fire one-liners that build into totally unpredictable skits with hilarious results. The 'Harold' is a fun way to 'loosen up' and learn to think quickly, build continuity, develop characterisations and sharpen humour.

Who would have ever thought that learning the finer points of improvisation could be such fun? The "Harold," an innovative improvisational tool, helped Saturday Night Live's Mike Myers and Chris Farley, George Wendt (Norm on "Cheers") and many other actors on the road to TV and film stardom. Now it is described fully in this new book for the benefit of other would-be actors and comics. The "Harold" is a form of competitive improv involving six or seven players. They take a theme suggestion from the audience and free-associate on the theme, creating a series of rapid-fire one-liners that build into totally unpredictable skits with hilarious results. The teams compete with scoring based on applause. The "Harold" is a fun way to "loosen up" and learn to think quickly, build continuity, develop characterizations and sharpen humor.

Summary: "Just Two Books On Improv? This is one of them."

Viola Spolin wrote down the rule book, but Del Close and Charna Halpern make improv an independent field of study and teach people how to use it.

Summary: "Truth in comedy"

Having a bit of trouble wading through the issue of how much better this method is than any other form of improv on the planet. Gets very old, and makes me want to put the book down, which is finally what I did. Can't imagine why it is necessary to continually inform the reader of the value of the stylistic differences, and the superiority of this method. Didn't Shakespeare have something to say about this need?

Summary: "Changed the way I thought about improv"

While Truth In Comedy is certainly not your usual "how to" book, the essential task this book accomplishes is revolutionizing how you view improvisation. Some may call the book a tad pretentious in terms of its wording and how many times the names of famous I.O alumni are dropped, but at is core, the book truly will change the way you think about a scene. Taking a truly philosophical approach, Truth in Comedy manages to integrate helpful tips with concise and essay like paragraphs on the nature of improv. If you take the time to really think about what Close says in the book, the tips don't feel like tips but instead become the natural thing to do. As a bit of a strange follow up to this book I read The Art of Dramatic Writing. Anyone truly interested in the nature of improvisation should read about and then compare. The connections will be easy to follow once you have read both books and will change the way you think of the term moment to moment.

Summary: "Helpful for students, but kind of nutty"

The entire book could probably be boiled down to a few xerox-able handouts, but the examples of successful games and scenes were very helpful for someone trying to get a handle on the basic "Harold" form of improvisation.

Charna Halpern weirds me out a little bit when she starts talking seriously about intense mental connections between improvisers that allow them to see into the future and even manifest human beings.
