SHECKYmagazine takes over Aspen!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 7th, 2006

Sorta kinda sorta.

It has come to be known simply as “Aspen.” The official title is The United States Comedy Arts Festival. However, the acronym thing is un-doable, since USCAF sounds like some sort of coffee-flavored emitic. (Ipecac for adults, maybe?) This give us an idea for a counter-fest, rather like Slamdance is to Sundance: IPECAC– The International Performers, Entertainers, Comedians (not in) Aspen, Colorado. Hold it in Denver. (Or anywhere, really, considering the geographical obstinance contained in its very name.)

We’re only turning our attention toward that expensive, high-altitude private party because we have two spies there… we think. Our Big Mover Paul Ogata is in a film directed by Damon Wayans. And our Adam Gropman is there as well, by virtue of… well, let’s let him tell it:

My short film (I wrote and starred in) “Insight Into The Enemy,” will be showing at Aspen on Wednesday, March 8, 1:30pm in Isis 1 Theater and Friday, March 10, 10:15am in Isis 2 Theater.

We hope the two of them hang out together and form a SHECKYmagazine contingent in the mountains of Colorado. (And we hope they snap some pics and perhaps generate some text for you, our readers.)

Wade through the USCAF website if you have a spare epoch.
