Today and a week from yesterday

South Park's 200th episode premiered Wednesday, April 14, at 10:00 p.m./9:00 p.m. Central on Comedy Central. I will not spoil the plot, except to say that the episode is the first part of two episodes; the second is to air a week from yesterday.

Please be aware that at least one protest group will be on the JCCC campus today.

Organizers of an “informal gathering of physicians” have notified the college they will be at the corner of College and Quivira between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. to express their “personal opinions about the current legislation (pro or con) amongst friends and colleagues”

Moreover, last year’s notice about a Tea Party at JCCC is still on the Web, which is confusing people who do not catch that the date there is 2009 and believe it’s a current announcement. It’s possible we could see some Tea Party people here who are confused about this year’s site and believe it’s at JCCC.

Overland Park and JCCC Police will be monitoring the situation to ensure everything is peaceful. However, there’s bound to be traffic congestion, so please be aware students may have trouble getting to evening classes on time.

Also one week from yesterday, Wednesday, April 14,...

JCCC will host the Metro Kansas City Model United Nations conference from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. Wednesday April 21, in the Carlsen Center and 233 GEB.

Faculty, students and staff are welcome to observe the Model UN General Assembly in 233 GEB and the Model United Nations Disarmament Committee in 311 CC from the back of either hall.

Please enter Craig Community Auditorium via 335 GEB.

On Wednesday, April 21, “Going Green 2010” also happens at JCCC, and in D.C. the U.S. Department of the Treasury is scheduled to unveil a new design for the $100 note.

In one week, Thursday, April 22, many of my friends from the Roving Imp Theater are departing for Chicago. Roving Imp ensembles One and Omega Directive were accepted to the Apprentice program of the Chicago Improv Festival.

Finding myself feeling left behind, I must otherwise occupy myself, as improv at the Roving Imp dominates my weekends. KC Crossroads Comedy recently featured Project Improv, like your girlfriend, and next weekend I will likely go to the Fishtank to enjoy some improv comedy on Saturday, April 24.
