Or at Funny or Die. Here's that link. Pick one (or both) and watch. And then share. And then give us your feedback! We freakin love feedback.

We're All Just Sexy Chupacabras

For anyone who attended our PIT show, you may recall that a certain song was played between each of our sketches. It was, in fact, a brand new, just released song called "Sexy Chupacabra" which was written and sung by the talented Briana Whyte Harris.

Through a series of happy coincidences, Briana connected with the group over Facebook a couple of weeks prior to the show. She asked if we would be interested in taking part in the production of her Sexy Chupacabra music video.

All I needed to hear was that there would be leotards involved and I was pretty much sold on the project. I think the same can be said for most of the group. It doesn't take a lot to convince us to dance around in costume. The shoot took place on Sunday and it was filmed and directed by Briana and her husband, Seth. Here are some shots from that glorious afternoon/evening:

Mmmm...goat

Don't mind me, goat. Just takin' a bubble bath in your tub.

The video will be on teh interwebz soon. Until then, you should check out Briana's webseries, Princess The Cat.

Chupacabras Rock the House

Alright, alright, let it be known that the Chupacabras ran into a few snags with our rider. BUT the important thing to remember here is...

The show was fantastic. The Chupacabra Conspiracy (and their co-performers, Brick Penguin) made a big splash at PIT Sketchfest. Both groups performed to a packed house in the PIT underground space.

The Chupacabra Conspiracy went on first and, as final show preparations were being made backstage, the venue reached capacity and quickly turned into a standing-room-only situation. Despite a few tech snafus (and one egregious mispronunciation of "chupacabra"), the group performed the following sketches: 

 

Putin and Friend

Subway

Getaway Mom

Hair Volumizer





Prison Psychic II

If you missed it, that sucks. But it only means you'll have to vigilantly keep your eyes and ears peeled for news of our next show.

 



We're Kind of a Big Deal

I dunno if you guys have heard, but these days, the Chupacabra Conspiracy is super-legit. We have a show coming up, this shiny new website and a revamped Facebook page. Things are looking up, my friends, and we at the Chupacabra Conspiracy are making it our priority to start thinking and acting like big time performers.

Just this morning we started working on the rider we'll be sending to the people at the PIT. Take a look at our first page:

We're still hammering out the other 16 pages. Believe you me, though, no stone will be left unturned here. I plan to bring my dog to the dressing room so naturally I'm asking for 50 Denta Bones to be chilled and left in a small basket by the door. Here are some things our individual members have submitted requests for:

• Michelle has already asked for a 10 pound bag of Swedish Fish
• Tom is adding a clause to have an Encyclopedia Britannica within a 15 foot radius of each dressing room
• Adrian is requesting a case of Beck's beer cooled to 42 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Helen is drafting plans for her own walk-in vodka freezer. Not sure the specs on that have been finalized
• Jessica is booking a yoga and Pilates instructor to be on-call for the duration of the set and rehearsal. She's also booking backups and backups for the backups
• Peter is asking for the latest 6 issues each of Batman, Amazing Spider-Man and Astonishing X-Men to be present in each dressing room

Are we getting too big for our britches? You bet your moderately-sized behind we're not. These are simple requests, folks. If I could go out to a local farm to hunt, pluck, skin and butcher my own deli turkey, I would.*

Here's an idea: why don't you come see us in action and you can judge for yourself if the Chupacabra Conspiracy is worth all this hoopla (I assure you we are). You can buy tickets by visiting this website.

*And by this I mean I absolutely wouldn't
