50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

A little help for my friends

My pal Sarah is an amazing photographer. She’s so amazing, I’d like to see her work shared with the world . . . or at least that portion of the world that drinks Jones Soda.
Take a look at some of her work, and vote for your favorite.
You’ll be glad you did.
Also, my very good friend, fellow actor, and former room mate, Chris Hardwick, has started up his very own website. He promised to buy me a new car if I sent him 15,000 visitors. So get to work, and I’ll give you a ride.*

Home Again

I am back from my vacation. Spent about 30 hours in Las Vegas, where I won 41 dollars, paid way too much for a mediocre meal, and saw “O,” which is breathtaking. I highly reccommend it.
After Vegas, Anne and I flew home, unpacked our bags, loaded the car, and drove to Lake Tahoe with the kids and Ferris. The drive was great: Anne and I listened to 80s CDs that we made, and the kids watched DVDs on my iBook. The eight hour drive raced by.
While we were up there, over two feet of snow fell, and the temperature only got over 33 once! It was awesome. We went sledding (tubing blows doors on regular sleds), introduced Ferris to the concept of bounding through chest-deep snow drifts, and just enjoyed being away from that pesky Real World.

Grand Slam

This convention is so much fun. I’m meeting people from all over the world, WWDN lurkers, and seeing some people who I only see once a year at this show.
Sadly, no pr0nstars this year. Sigh.
Yesterday afternoon, I read from Just A Geek and Dancing Barefoot, to a fully-packed house. There were even people standing in the back! It went very well, and I sold out of the 30 copies of Dancing Barefoot that I had in about 10 minutes. Funtimes.
Last night, our improv show was a huge success. My favorite moment? When I got to play Evil Wesley Crusher (complete with beard) and Good Wesley Crusher, in The Lost Episode of Next Generation, which was a musical. I defeated myself by shouting “Shut up, Wesley!” over and over again.
Well, I guess you had to be there. But it was really fun.
When I got home, there were several e-mails from people who had seen it, telling me what a great time they had. It was such a hit, I think there’s a good chance Earnest Borg9 will be taking this show on the road soon.
There’s so much to report from this weekend, but I have to go back to the show now. I’ll update it all when I get a chance.

Yes, and . . .

On Saturday night, a few members of my sketch comedy troupe “Earnest Borg9” will perform an improv show at the Creation Grand Slam convention. We will be playing SciFi-oriented games, and we will improvise the Lost Episode of The Next Generation, based on the audience’s suggestions. There are even a few games where a couple of audience members can join us on stage and be part of the fun.
Holy crap, man. I am so excited!
Unlike sketch comedy, where we have to rehearse like crazy to present a tight show, improvisors can all “work out” a few times together, and know that when we perform for a real audience, the show will be great. Even though we’re making everything up as we go along, I always feel less pressure for an improv show than I do for a sketch show. Weird.
