VAN GOGH-GOGHS PERFORM NEW SHOW IN SEPT. AND OCT.

We're taking the first part of September off so that we can polish up our next show.
This one promises to be good. Not only will it include a bunch of great new sketches,
it will be at Masquer's Cabaret, a very hep and happening restaurant/club.
We'll have more details in the next Theo Report, but for now, here's what you need to know:

* SATURDAY, SEPT. 25, OCT. 2, and OCT. 9

PLACE: Masquers Cabaret and Dinner Theater, 8334 W.
Third St., West Hollywood
TIME: 7:30 p.m. (curtain at 8 p.m.)
PRICE:
PARKING: Valet and some on-street

You can get directions to the shows at

GET ONLINE GUIDANCE

We've been getting a whole buncha visitors to the Ask the Big Boy page. If you
haven't seeked (seeken? sooked?) his guidance yet, check our mystical guy at:

WEB SITE NEWS

Our grand new plan of updating the site once a week with new fun stuff is still going on.
Who woulda thought we had the intestinal fortitude? Not us, that's for sure. The new stuff includes:

* Dr. Sodas Guide <http://www.vgg.com/drsodas/index.html>: A roadmap to the wonderful,
mystical, usually drinkable world of Dr. Pepper clones.

* The Smart Ladder <http://www.vgg.com/ladder.html> lives! That's right, after more than a
year of non-updating, we're now keeping track of just how smart the Van Gogh-Goghs really
are. Check it out, and make all the grief Alan gets from the other VGGs worth it!

* New Prove Us Wrong <http://www.vgg.com/uswrong.html>: The Van Gogh-Goghs believe
that an insincere laugh is just as good as a sincere laugh. And, based on what we've heard from
others, you agree. Can you prove us wrong?

* The long-delayed (but worth it) Desert Scavenger Hunt
<http://www.vgg.com/scavenger/index.html> is up! You can win a t-shirt, fun crap, and FREE
passes to EVERY Van Gogh-Gogh show! So fire up them brains and start looking.

WIN-A-SHIRT CONTEST

So, uh, last month nobody was able to guess the answer to our trivia question. That question again
(for those of you who want to claim you knew all along) was: Who was Frank Bumstead. And the
answer, of course, is that it was the name of William Hurt's character in the not-all-that-bad-except-for-Kiefer
Sutherland flick "Dark City." Duh!

So this time, we'll make it a little easier. All you have to do is be the first person who can tell us
how Lionel Simca spells "memorabilia." When you know it, email the answer, your name and mailing
address, and shirt size to <thevggs@vgg.com>. Carry on, wayward sons and daughters.

OK, WE'RE DONE

We're tired of writing. Why don't you do a little? Email your comments to thevggs@vgg.com.
See you next month.
