  Just two days to go until the big Rocky Roast.

  This Friday, the Salt Lake Acting Company is throwing a big Rocky Anderson funrd-raising roast at the Rose Wagner Theater (Tix still available).

 Along with my pal Tom Barberi, Babs Delay and some other local yucksters, I need to come up with some barbs to lightly poke fun at the Mayor.

  Too bad there isn't any material  :)

  Seriously, where to start?

   His wanting to impeach the President and the Vice-President, his speaking out agaisnt the Iraq War, global warming, the City Council...not to mention those orange pedestrian flags...I mean, really, there's nothing to talk about.

  Oh, did I forgot Sean Hannity?

   And, perhaps, even more importantly, what  does wear to a roast?

   I know what to wear to a barbecue, but a roast is an entirely different beast.

   The invitation says to wear "funky chic."

   HUH?

   I am lucky if, on a daily basis, I can get my socks to match. And they want me to be able  to pull of "chic?"

   Seriously, to be both funny and fashionable, that's a lot of pressure! 

   If anybody out in the blogosphere can help with Rocky Roasts or fashion tips, email me at chris@abc4.tv

   Until the next BLOG, I'll be in the Backroom.
