It's hard to believe that we are yet again at a closing night of Impress These Apes! Season 7 has been SO much fun and one of my favorite seasons so far. I know how grueling it can be this final week of competition--you try not to care about the money, but yet you really want to win. It's best, though, to just go out and enjoy yourself and celebrate the weirdness that you shared with 7 other weirdos, some judges in rubber masks, and the audience who watched week after week.
Here's me, in February 2007, on my closing night. I did a tribute to my Dad.

To Clay, Joanna, Joe, Liz, Martin, Meredith, Monique, and Wolfgang, thank you for bringing your amazing talents to our stage week after week, and for never giving up. It's truly been a ball watching you.
It's been such a fun journey for me, from contestant, to liason, to producer, to Ape, and I've loved every second of it. Each year, we say it is going to be our last year ever, then the next year, we can't bring ourselves to let it die. We'll see what the future brings...
To the audience that came to every show, or any show that you could, thank you. Without you, there is no point in doing it. Your laughter is worth way more than $1,000 and a grab bag of groovy prizes.
To Bryan, Paul, Fuzzy, Noah, Steven, Greg, Gabe, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Denise, Rebecca, Jessy and Alan, thank you so much for the hard work you put in this whole season, and your your humor and cunning.
To Steve, thank you for creating this amazing show, and for all the other wacky Blewt! ideas you come up with. Thank you for letting me tag along on your creativity. It's truly a wild ride. I look forward to many more projects in the future.
Shunky mit!!
