Congratulations to Blake and the TTMBS team!
We’re thrilled to share that TTMBS has been nominated at the 6th Annual All The Laughs (ATL) Comedy Festival and Awards Show, presented by the All The Laughs Comedy Awards (ATLCA).
Blake and I were excited to read ATLCA’s congratulatory note:
*“Dear Blake,
As the festival director of the 6th Annual All The Laughs Comedy Festival and Awards Show, I would first like to thank you for submitting your work to us. We received hundreds of incredible submissions this year from twenty countries—the independent comedic community is stronger than ever!Congratulations on being selected as a nominee! Not only will your work be showcased over the weekend, but you are also in contention for the coveted Golden Pitcher. We had such a fun time viewing your submission, and you should be very proud.
This year’s event will take place September 26–28 at the Limelight Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. We hope you’ll join us in person, but if not, all content will also be available on SparqFest through October 16th.”*
We would, of course, be honored to bring home the Golden Pitcher Trophy—a brilliant idea with its Oscar-inspired handle design!
Blake and I still fondly remember our family trip to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, where we narrowly missed the Centennial Olympic Park bombing and witnessed unforgettable events:
- Women’s basketball (China dominated Canada with a 7-foot star towering over 5’6” opponents),
- Boxing (as if we’d stepped into a George Bellows painting),
- Water polo (against the breathtaking downtown Atlanta night skyline),
- Women’s softball in a small Georgia town, and
- Track and field at the brand-new Centennial Olympic Stadium.
So, if you’re in Atlanta, September 26–28, make sure to catch TTMBS on the big screen!
And while you’re there, I recommend exploring some Atlanta favorites:
- Stone Mountain Park (with its legendary laser show),
- The historic Fox Theatre (where Gone With the Wind premiered),
- Pittypat’s Porch Restaurant (classic Southern cooking with a side of history),
- Martin Luther King Jr.’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, and
- The fun-filled World of Coca-Cola (yes, you can taste Coke flavors from around the globe!).
Here’s to laughter, memories, and maybe even a Golden Pitcher! 🏆
