. University of Minnesota Comedy Club
2. The Comedy Club at the University of Minnesota is focused on fostering a community on which enduring friendships can be formed through the commonality of comedy. Stand up, improv, and sketch are all in. The group will be a community of students helping to better each others comic ways.
3. In a comedy club, there will be a lot of discussion and different emotions that will circulate throughout the room. People will be in constant contact with each other in close quarters, which will make it easier to observe the group as whole. They meet in an easy-to-get-to location for an hour and a half once a week, which is just the right amount of time for us. Too much longer could get very repetitive and boring, and too much shorter might not give us enough information for every meeting. Another advantage for this group is that they host comedy shows and showcase their talents. This will be very interesting to see how they prepare for these and how they develop the right material for the shows. Students come and watch these shows so it will also be interesting to see how the members of the club interact with others and how others interact with them.

One thing that could potentially be difficult to understand is some of the material used in their comedy routines. It might be hard to evaluate if Jake and I don’t understand some of the jokes. Also, they could sensor their material if they feel awkward presenting it in front of us. We are hoping they can stick to their normal routines and topics, but they might sensor some things because they know that a high school teacher and class could read about it. Another disadvantage could be the time slot. It is 6-7:30 on wednesdays, but we both have baseball after school. On game days this could be a conflict, but for practice days we will be

Hi folks, thanks for the response to my previous blog. However, my slothful ways have caught up to me and I need to complete this blog that’s become a few weeks overdue for the Minnesota State Fair. Although, I enjoyed my time at the Minnesota State Fair, although being worn down and tired of hordes of people, I decided not to travel to the Renaissance Fair the following day. However, The Minnesota State Fair was delightful and was able to partake in the music, the culture, and the delicious food. Although my dental regimen was not on par for the toothache that started after eating those sweet delectable cookies. I will explain later in the blog, certainly read further on a few tips for the 2016 Minnesota State Fair.

I probably will go back when I’m not in college and volunteer. Classism is going to continue as the gap between social classes continues to widen however clubs and organizations can help kids to rise and achieve what they otherwise might not have been able to achieve otherwise. Positivity can go a long way.

Homelessness is a problem everywhere and its worse in other countries but here in America we have it rough. We have the means to fix homelessness with giving jobs to them in the fields of science and energy.
At the latest press conference held by Apple, the new groundbreaking innovation for the iPhone 6 was finally revealed to the public. After years of mingling about in the barbarian state of face-to-face conversation, society is finally being introduced with the ability to eliminate the middle-man, and communicate solely through the use of their smart phone. The feature is called Siri-Speech, which helps envelop the user in the dissociation that is accompanied by using machines to fill the void once occupied by primitive speech. The user only needs to type a text they would like the individuals near them to hear, and the application will read the text aloud. This awe-inspiring feature will help eliminate the need for crude functions like conversation and eye contact.
Comedy differs in the mood it approaches and addresses life. It presents situations which deal with common ground of man’s social experience rather than limits of his behaviour – it is not life in the tragic mode, lived at the difficult and perilous limits of the human condition.
