The very first DSTW
DSTW January 2007
It is so hard to believe, but Don't Spit the Water is having its 100th show this Saturday, March 10th. It seems like only yesterday that we were not sure what to expect while playing for about 12 people on our first night. Looking back at the old pictures, it is amazing to see what has changed and what is still the same. Cutie Bumblesnatch used to wear a different headpiece each time she was onstage (skunk ears, wigs, tiara's) and change costumes frequently. I think the tutu might not have even made it into the first 4 shows. Timekeeper Willis didn't wear a mask, Sasha and the Noob didn't have vests, we had Mr. Pickles, and the first sign was so adorably homemade.
On the other hand, some things are exactly the same. The vest, the stare, the 'Good Vibrations', and our excitement to put up a show that almost completely makes no sense. And now, 2 1/2 years and 99 shows later, we've performed in NYC, travelled to a number of festivals, have our own cable access show, tons of comedians, an open run, and jammed packed houses. I have been proud of this show since day 1, and I can't wait for the next 100 shows.
Congratulations, DSTW!

Yaay Cutie Bumblesnatch. A lot of times I'll draw a little face and it reminds me of Cutie and I end up liking it the most out of the other drawings.
I had been WAY too long since I've seen some quality Cutie bits. I'll try and grab some drinks after the show! I wish I could be there.
