Have you played this card game? My friend’s family busted it out after Thanksgiving dinner the other day and we went a few rounds. It’s the second time I’ve played it. The first was a couple of years ago at a work event. The concept is super cute. It’s written in a jokey, slightly-less-raunchy-but-similar-in-tone-to-Cards-Against-Humanity...

Big Decision: Hills or Flats
So I’m signed up to run this race in just under two months. My friend Tom and I have to decide which of us is going to take which series of three legs that are left on the team (there are 12 of us running 216 miles in three days; I know, it’s totally...

Okay, so… This May benefit I mentioned is sorta maybe coming together. The theater says they’re working to accommodate me, and Jomo and the guys say they’re in for playing. At this point I’ve also got two storytellers who say they’re in. Others on my list of performers include: Two standup comedians Another...

Here it is, Ryan’s final design. I think it’s beautiful and tasteful. As I told him, now I just need to make sure the play itself lives up to the image. Come on out on June 14th at 7pm. I’m bringing wine and guacamole. What have you got to lose? (except your time, dignity...

I’m struggling a little bit with the idea of publicizing this silly show when everyone’s talking about global tragedy. But timing is what it is. Here’s what I think the lineup will be for Thursday: ACT ONE Possum Posse one song Brief heartfelt intro and skit Music (Luna Tart) Story (Ava) Play (Tristan: Shhhh)...
