Someone very famous and quotable, whose name I have forgotten, said, “All art aspires to the condition of music.” I hate that that seems to be true. Especially because there were a number of times in my upbringing when I was offered music lessons of one sort or another. The first time was when I was [...] So it is time for the second ever Standard Issues show, for which we have a ridiculous line up and a great theme, which is… JERKS! Cyndi chose this theme. She’d had a bad day. But it put me in mind of this story. I have an aunt that made a hobby of marrying well. And by well, [...] There is going to be two posts today. First, the shows. Then, below this, I have a piece I call “Corkscrew” that I am very nervous about putting up. It is about the darkest parts of yourself and how they can be expressed when you really start digging that hole deep. It goes faster when [...] Hopefully no one is looking to make this a trilogy. So, immediately after I finished listening to the This American Life story about how Peter Segal’s screenplay about the Cuban revolution became Dirty Dancing 2; Havana Nights, I got a message saying that a script I wrote six years ago has finally received financing. Don’t [...] Before we discuss anything else, a reminder: Moth Podcast, me on it, July 26th. And yes, my Dr. Phil Strip Tease at Told went great. Thanks for asking. Tonight I will be appearing at a show at Comix. It is my first time on the show, which is called Service Not Included. It is hosted by Justin [...] First, I don't know this guy. Second, the photo will make sense when you get further into the post. I received a facebook message a little bit ago that really took me off guard. This is what it was - “Thank you, again, for telling your Grand Slam story about an ex not forgiving a “mistake.” [...] I'M OPEN! I have shows coming up and I will tell you all about them. BUT, before we get there, I want to talk about how you tell a story, or in this case, how you don’t, or just knowing that you are in the process of telling a story. I do not follow sports. I’ve [...] We are going to talk about some things. Mainly getting older and closer to death. But before that, y’all should know that Cyndi and I will be doing guest contributions to Jeff Simmermon’s amazing and beloved culture blog And I Am Not Lying. The same site that brought you the great DC coffee shop feud [...] wait, this isn't right. I mean it's kinda right, but not what… anyway. I woke up in a minor rage. This happens from time to time. I just wake up and am instantly mad about something. It may relate to something I went to bed mulling, or I knew was coming, or whatever greeted me [...] Well we have, very unfortunately, had some technical trouble with the video of Ben Lillie. Unless you really know what you are doing on a technical level, and I assure you I do not, then technology either cooperates or it doesn’t. Very much sucks because it was a great story on Ben’s part. In the [...] |
