Too Close is About a Guy In a Club…
I know this seems pretty damn obvious, but after this weekend’s convo I’m not so sure. You know the song “Too Close” by Next? It’s a good tune, embedded below. But did you know the song is a about a dude who gets a boner while dancing in a club? I knew this from when [...]
Theater on the Lake Wrap-up!
Well, after a week of working for the City of Chicago’s Park District, Schad’s run at the venerable Theater on the Lake has come to a close. Thanks to everyone for coming to see the show — we saw a ton of familiar faces, had some fantastic houses, and the shows were a ton [...]
Final Show! New time: 6.30 pm!
Tonight’s our final show at Theater on the Lake! NEW TIME for this one — 6.30 pm! Come on out to Fullerton & Lake Shore and enjoy some raucous 90’s references with a lakeside breeze. Stay afterwards for a drink at the bistro, grab some ice cream from the guy in the ice [...]
Only 2 more nights at Theater on the Lake!
Thanks to everyone for catching our Friday night show at Theater on the Lake! Tonight, we’re taping for permanent posterity — since this is our last run doing these late 90’s sketches, we figured we’d record these guys so our kids can remount the show for their after school productions in junior high. [...]

Theater on the Lake Continues…
Thanks to all who came out to Theater on the Lake for the first show. I can’t speak for the rest of Schad, but I am sore! Seriously, that show we did back at the Heartland in 98-00 was physical and I’m really not that physical anymore. That’s a nice way of saying I’m [...]
Guess Sandy and Adam’s Bit!
This is a pic from Miles baptism last week. It’s not a dress, it’s a baptismal jumpsuit. But looking at this picture, I was drawn to Adam and Sandy in the back obviously in the middle of a bit. What was it? Star Wars? An off the cuff Catholic joke? Who makes the best fart [...]
Theater on the Lake: Tonight we open!
Come on out to Theater on the Lake tonight at 7.30! After 2 days of teching the show I can safely say that we remember most of Loco and nearly all of Sign Language and just about an ounce of NATO. If you like surprises and hijinks and cases of mistaken identity in [...]
George Says:
The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.

And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Institute of Pancakes: It reads, and I quote, “Fuck waffles.”
Best Part of Sunday Night’s FOX News Chicago?
When Nancy Pender started reading the story, “An Alabama man was found guilty of murdering his wife while on their honeymoon” while footage of Barack Obama rolled on screen. About half way through she realized what was happening and said something like, “obviously that’s not him.” It was great.
Since When Are These Ads Allowed On Television?
I’m getting old, right? It means that I’m getting old when I see an ad like this and wonder what is going on! I can practically hear my future kids groaning and rolling their eyes when I tell them, “In my day, we didn’t talk about pleasure on TV!” I’m going to call the sexism [...]
Theater on the Lake Tech!
We are out at blocking out bits at Theater on the Lake today. We start our run tomorrow thru Sunday. Look at the banners to the left for more info!
Good Morning.
So I say, “Live and let live.” That’s my motto. “Live and let live.” Anyone who can’t go along with that, take him outside and shoot the motherfucker.

Never trust a man with sunglasses on the back of his head.
While we’re on the Cubs, here’s my Buck fifty (two cents adjusted for inflation). Okay, so I’m back from Los Angeles for this week’s fantabulous THEATRE ON THE LAKE!!! show (312-742-PLAY)…seriously, I dropped four hundy to come back, the least you can do is throw out $17. Anyway. This may have been hammered to death, but [...]
11 Months is almost a Year.
Well yesterday Miles turned 11 months old. It was also his baptism. We decided on baptizing him at Old St. Pats church in Chicago because Julie’s family is religious and their faith is much stronger than my un-faith. The only caveat? That the godparents had to be the Schadparents. So Witt, Marshall, James and Schmidt [...]
Could you Please Fire Someone?
Here is a snippet from a rant Julie heard last night..
“What the hell White Sox. All I ask is that you show up. Show up for the big games. This was a real chance to show me that you were for real and that this isn’t another bullshit attempt at keeping us enthused til August [...]
Good Morning.
Hmm, I guess I don’t hate the Cubs. Maybe it’s just the fans? His buddy was probably like “Dude, I dare ya..”
