			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ll be bringing Oscar-worthy improv performances to the Ironwood Stage in Inglewood on Sunday, March 4 at 4pm. This commercial-free and if we dare say, WAY more entertaining event will be $5 at the door. We will ask &#8216;who you&#8217;re wearing&#8217; but more for curiosity. Pajamas are fine. The more comfortable you are, the more you&#8217;ll laugh. The Ironwood serves up great food so why not make it dinner &amp; a show? What a fantastic way to wrap up the weekend! All ages welcome but we do recommend 10 years plus.</p>

<p>April Cruz &amp; Murray Peglar met three years ago and have been entertaining as a dynamic duo since. The idea behind AM Radio remains a powerfully simple one. “We set out to make music we enjoy and can feel proud of playing, music that people we like will want to listen to” explains vocalist and guitarist Murray “So we&#8217;ve just done it from the heart and try to have a great time doing it.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’re so thrilled to be bringing “Beauty Love Truth’ (BLT) to Calgary in February for 3 shows – February 10 &amp; 11 at 10:30pm at the Loose Moose AND February 12 at 7pm at The Ironwood. Talk about an action packed weekend. Each show will be a once in a lifetime event with different musical guests and our guest improvisors from NYC, Louie Pearlman and Shannon Manning.</p>
<p><strong>HERE’S A SWEET BONUS!</strong> Shannon and Louie are offering a workshop while they are in Calgary on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11 from 2p to 5p at The Area in Inglewood. The chance to ‘play’ and learn with Louie and Shannon is something you’ll want to take advantage of…’cause they leave on Monday and then you’re looking at a flight to New York to get any training from them. Just $35 for this 3 hour session.</p>
<p><strong>SPACE IS LIMITED </strong>so we wanted to let you know now so you can get in on this wicked workshop.</p>
<p>Please register by emailing April and stating you want IN on the FEBRUARY WORKSHOP.</p>
<p>april@kinkonauts.com</p>
<p>A bit about your coaches:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-576" title="Shannon" src="http://www.kinkonauts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Shannonduffy150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Shannon Manning studied at the University of Chicago (BA History), the School of the Art Institute, and with the legendary comedy inspiration Del Close. After moving to New York in 1997, she taught and directed improv at the <a href="http://www.ucbtheater.com/">Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre</a>, <a href="http://littlecommie.com/magnettheater.html">Magnet Theater</a> (which she also co-founded), and <a href="http://littlecommie.com/drinkytown/index.html">Drinkytown</a>, including the political improv show <a href="http://littlecommie.com/redallover/index.html">Red All Over</a> and the music and improv show <a href="http://beautylovetruthtv.com/">Beauty Love Truth</a>. She has performed on <em>Late Night with Conan O’Brien</em><em> </em>as a piece of cheese and other characters. In 2008, she was New Media Deputy for Obama for America – New York. She shot volunteer recruitment videos, customized NY State’s website on barackobama.com, blogged on the official NY HQ blog to promote and share volunteer activities, volunteer efforts that were unprecedented and pivotal in the successful election of our President. She is now focusing on building a multimedia empire/subculture/revolution through <a href="http://www.sparkletelevision.com/">Sparkle Television</a>, a video and web production company.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-577" title="Louie Pearlman" src="http://www.kinkonauts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/louie150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></p>
