Team Smile and Nod Getting some practice in before going to Rich's to get some practice in... :) Whenever I'm getting ready for rehearsing with Rich, I think of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry's cousin calls his broadway theater rehearsal "play practice."

Kara, from Team Smile and Nod, rehearses "Chicken Pot Pie". They often perform this song live. It was written years ago (about 8 years ago? whoa.) when Kara was not a vegetarian. Still, it's kinda funny and people like it... so they play it. (Third person sounds more official, eh?)
