Fool, Live on Stage Audio
Hey kids, here's my holiday gift to you, from me and the Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey.
The left link will play live, the left links you can right click and download and play on your Ipod or other device, although you may want to rename the files.
This is a live, stage recording, all of the actors using one stage mike, so you may have to play with the levels and it will probably sound bit better through headphones.
Here's the link:
Happy holidays, and have a safe New...

The Undead of Christmas
Hey Kids,
The chilly claws of winter are scratching at the door,
it gets dark at 5:00, and slick of smashed pumpkins has finally
worn off the sidewalks, which can mean only one thing… That's right,
the apocalypse is nigh!
No wait, it's the holiday season is looming over us like a great cinnamon-scented
bird of prey. And nothing hits the spot during the holidays like Zombies

BITE ME_Chapters 1&2
Chapter 1: Hello Kitty
Being the Journal of Abigail Von Normal,
Emergency Back-up Mistress of the Greater Bay Area Night
The city of San Francisco is being stalked by a huge, shaved vampyre cat named Chet, and only I, Abby Normal, emergency back-up mistress of the greater Bay Area night, and my manga-haired love monkey, Foo Dog, stand between the ravenous monster and a bloody massacre of the general public. Which isn't, like, as bad as it sounds, because the general public kind of sucks ass.

The Author Guy, Shakespeare in N.J.!
I think we all remember that famous line from Othello:
"The fug are you lookin' at, ya fuggin mook?"
Which seems to be written just for the New Jersey Shakespeare Company.
Well, those fuggin mooks have invited me to invite you to a reading of scenes of Fool,
by real fuggin actors, interspersed with anecdotes and amusements by my own
self, and followed by a Q&A and whatnot, for:

School of Mime, Angry Lost Cat
First, on a light post in Auvers, France. A lost kitty poster…
On the Alexandre III bridge — the clear danger of pissing off the sculpture…
In the late 19th Century, there was a lot of public art, both in France and in England, that personified different industries. It's like the ruling class just went, "I don't care what it actually is, just make it look like agriculture."
Then, there are always the national heroes:
And the institutions they founded:
You start with this, then they take one wall a...

French Dead Guys and Whatnot
So, I visited The Pantheon, which is the place where France keeps many of it's famous dead guys. It cost like $12 to get in, so I was really hoping for a cool animatronic display of famous dead guys, with maybe Jules Verne driving Captain Nemo's Nautilus and Marie Antoinette getting guillotined every quarter hour or so. But no, all of the famous dead people in the Parthenon are inside of boxes or jars or both.
Here is the philosopher, Jean Jacques Rousseau, who explored the ideas of...
The Author Guy Improves Art and Architecture
You can't throw a stick in Paris without hitting a Gothic Cathedral (which, by the way, they are totally touchy about, so if you can control yourself, don't throw a stick while in Paris), and at each cathedral, there is an array of gargoyles, which were, back in the day, used to direct rainwater away from the stone walls.
This is how they are done. They just sit there, doing nothing, now that most cathedrals have been equipped with gutters and downspouts.
In my new, improved version, gargoyles...
