This has nothing to do with anything, but Big Lick Conspiracy, Roanoke’s premier improv troupe is having its first performance at its new location, the Jefferson Center on Campbell Ave. in Roanoke, VA. I will defer to the namesake of the new location for further details:
Dear Patrons of Improv Comedy–I write you this letter in anticipation for the event which we hopefully shall all soon witneſs, the introduction of Big Lick Conſpiracy, Roanoke’s premier improv comedy troupe, to my own facility in that city, The Jefferson Centre, on this Saturday, the 21st of March, at 8:00 in the evening. I, myself, was revived by my ancestor George–hailing from the East Side–for this occasion. The Conſpiracy has informed me that there will be on hand a steward of fermented spirits of the variety and volume enough to stagger the disposition of even that drink-sodden popinjay Aaron Burr! But I jest.
As I have often told my colleague Benjamin Franklin, “never put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” so should you make haste in calling the Jefferson Centre on what they tell me is called a telephone at 540-345-2550 and order tickets for you and your family at the trifle cost of $9.00 per person. (An aside–It has come to my attention that Ben “I can’t attend the Revolution today, sirs, because I have gout.” Franklin is on the $100 note whereas I, the gentleman who carried the deadweight of this country’s infancy on his bent and weary back, am merely upon the $2 note. We shall discuss this matter later.)
President Thomas Jefferson
