Today is the last in our series spotlighting the finalists from our National College Competition. Did I mention that even if you won’t be in Aspen to see the finals to the College Competition, you, yes i mean YOU are going to be able to watch the finals from the comfort of your internet browser!

Yes dear, the finals to the National College Comedy Competition will be streamed live on RooftopComedy.com, tomorrow, Saturday May 31st at 6:45pm MT.

Without further ado, I present to you Kathleen O’Brien, from University of Virginia!

Where were YOU when you heard the news that YOU were going to Aspen?
I was actually on a tour at Monticello (home of Thomas Jefferson) because my 16-year-old brother was visiting Charlottesville. I know that might sound lame, but it was either that or take him wine tasting and make him be my DD. So I was standing in Thomas Jefferson’s bedroom, and I got a text message from my cousin saying, “Congrats on Aspen!!” I started jumping up and down and hugging random strangers in my tour group. I think my tour guide thought I was going to start jumping on TJ’s 200 year old bed, so she tasered me and tackled me to the ground. It was worth it.

Using internet democracy as a guide, did you have any real strategy for garnering the love of the internet to vote for you to get to Aspen?
My computer loves porn – so I downloaded a little extra that week just to keep my computer happy. In return it allowed me to use it for internet to shamelessly promote myself on gmail and facebook and harass everyone I know.

How have you been preparing for Aspen? Would you think its high altitude would present a challenge? Have you been trying to simulate high altitude standup comedy to prepare?
I have been practicing my routine underwater. I realize that has nothing to do with altitude, but I figured, if I can do it there, I can do it anywhere. (That’s what she said).

Without letting the proverbial cat out of the bag, what kind of cats do you have in the bag for Aspen? Metaphorical or literal.
I am bringing bobcats. But I am keeping them in a cage – to keep them in a bag would just be a death wish.

Top 3 best and worst things that can happen to you at Aspen. And, go.
Best: I win the contest.
I don’t win the contest, but try snowboarding for the first time and realize that I am a natural and start my career as a pro-boarder.
I meet a hot ski instructor who wants to “show me the slopes.”
Worst: I get attacked by a polar bear.
I try snowboarding for the first time and break my leg.
I dance on the table at the bar and accidentally show everyone my “slopes.”

Lightning Round: First two words that come to mind when thinking of the following:
· Beer More Beer
· Aspen Dumb (and) Dumber
· No Whammy Grammy Booty
