[It was "JAB Challenge Night." No Shame had sunk to such an incredible low number of
performers that Smick, Brooks, and I told the audience that for every piece performed the next
week that didn't involve the three of us, we would perform a piece the week after. Our intent, of
course, was to encourage more people to perform. Results were so-so; when the night in question
rolled around, eight non-JAB pieces took place, so the next week Smick, Brooks and I
(individually and collectively) performed eight pieces. Also included were Smick's Brass Man
poem (I think that's what it was called) and perhaps Fruitopia? --Adam]
[The following pieces were part of this show:]
- JAB (John Smick, Adam Burton, Brooks Peck) - Pen Ni Tsuite No Geki
- Smick, Peck, and Burton - There Are Only Three Men in the Mumblebeast (John Smick, Adam Burton, Brooks Peck)
- Peck, Burton, and Smick - Viewer Advisory (Brooks Peck, Adam Burton, John Smick)
- Burton, Smick and Peck - Fag Seat
- Adam Burton - Wake Up!
[From Smick's file: A list of possible JAB pieces to perform on JAB challenge night: Adam solo
piece, Smick's poem, Stacy's letter, Brooks Solo (maybe), Fag Seat,
Disclaimer, Corona, The Pen Opera Pt.
