However, we're working out a deal with a cable station to get a set schedule for next year.

First time in a while, but was quickly reminded just what a quality production this is. The company truly works their tails off; their commitment to and love for their craft is very evident, as is the team atmosphere. Not every sketch is going to resonate with everyone, but they're well-written and I always enjoy when they push the envelope.</p> <p>The band has always been among the best in town, guitarist Matt Hahn in particular. He has been with the "Box" for 20 years, and still has the chops to cement his place in Columbus rock history as one of the best ever, night in amd night out. The Beast adds a unique persona and a technical virtuosity on the skins. Vocalists are most always spot on. </p> <p>For the price, Shadowbox is one of the best entertainment values in the Columbus area. Look forward to their new digs downtown. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/bad-to-the-bone-at-shadowbox-1/page/3#post-247273 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:20:00 +0000 catnfiddle 247273@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Hey Jimmy, as a side question, do you know when Channel 17 broadcasts Shadowbox Wired? Is there a set schedule or is it just when they feel like playing one of your shows? It might be a nice way to sample the show (not to mention marvel at when David Whitehouse had hair). </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/bad-to-the-bone-at-shadowbox-1/page/3#post-247198 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:50:22 +0000 jmak 247198@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>Walker wrote <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/bad-to-the-bone-at-shadowbox-1/page/2#post-247179"> &gt;&gt; </a></cite><br /> Good times!

The only sketch that wasn't working in the first week was pulled according to friends who caught it later. Who cares if some of the characters are brought back from year to year? The new written situations are usually good enough to give them freshness.</p> <p>Jimmy, I'm enough of a regular that you'll probably recognize me when I say hello. I also was in the most recent Ranconteur production, just not in the sketch you wrote for it. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/bad-to-the-bone-at-shadowbox-1/page/2#post-236946 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:57:47 +0000 jmak 236946@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>Walker wrote <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/bad-to-the-bone-at-shadowbox-1/page/2#post-236927"> &gt;&gt; </a></cite><br /> I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've never been to a Shadowbox event, but it's pretty high on my list of things to do (along with eventually seeing a Crew game).

Even though I really wasn't trying to pick a fight or be rude at first, I let it kind of go to a bad place in response to being told to:</p> <p><blockquote>Go join an evangelist church and plaster your car with pictures of aborted fetuses. Buy a rifle and go kill Bambi.</blockquote></p> <p>I still don't know why I was told to do that. And even after I fired back I still got a PM from JMak being really cool and offering free tix to the Woodstock show. So, I am sorry for being shitty.
