Convention?

Sam's ankle is on the mend. He appeared in tonight's primary in a Robo Cop-esque walking boot/cast on one crutch (Convention? at Avenue Theater / Tuesdays / 7:30 p.m. / $10 admission gets you one free drink).

Sam returns to Convention?

Not precisely a FDR take on the current political scene, but Sam will appear in a wheelchair, his wizened legs covered with a blanket, for this evening's primary (Convention? at Avenue Theater / Tuesdays / 7:30 p.m. / $10 admission gets you one free drink).

Sam is questionable for Convention? this evening

Sam is convalescing after breaking his ankle early last night attempting to buy food from Taco Bell. Really. No lawsuit is pending unless you can bring suit against yourself for being a klutz. While he's mulling an appearance, it would fly in the face of common sense and doctor's orders (7 to 10 days of foot elevation; visit the orthopedist). We are, however, dealing with Sam.

Convention?

Tonight's primary was set in Albuquerque's Geronimo Center with Terry Brewer (Sam) dodging questions about his wife/candidate's rumored pregnancy and an alleged groping incident in Kansas.

(It was reported that two local entertainment reviewers were in attendance. No one had the skinny regarding which publication.)

Convention?

Convention?, is the best show about a fake presidential campaign you'll ever see. It’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a fictional presidential nomination campaign. Sam portrays Terry Brewer, the husband and campaign manager of candidate Sandy Brewer.

After tonight performance, only 14 shows remain, so bring a friend (renting space is not cheap) each and every Tuesday to the Avenue Theater (7:30 pm / $10 and includes one free drink).

Club Sensationzzz at Avenue Theater

A hip and energetic crowd were wowed by Club Sensationzzz at their inaugural show at the Avenue Theater last night. In addition to performing, Sam, Galloway Allbright and Ryan Mattingly co-wrote, -produced and -directed the 90 minute sketch comedy show. No official word yet, but Sam's hopeful last night's enthusiastic audience response will convince the owners to give CS a recurring spot at the Avenue the second Wednesday of each month. Delightful.
