How can you call yourself a clown and not know who Bozo is?

MeFi post: Got No Milk and No Honey
Yula is a friend of mine. Very strange to see a post about Nanuchka on Metafilter.

It's cliche, but: see them live, if you can.

There's a short comic scene in this somewhere -- a scene between a Russian engineer and an embittered tank commander near the end of the cold war.

Yeah, I remember this. My old sporecore band opened for Bert and Ernie at Sackfest in '97. Of course, back then they were called Gorecunt and were more of a deathsludge hatecore kind of thing -- think early Neurosis strung up by their balls and lowered slowly into a vat of lukewarm molasses.

Ernie had fat, ropey, glue-caked dreads that he chewed plaintively in between songs, pausing every now and then to nibble out a nit or two. The only article of clothing he owned... [more]

I like my Eee a lot. Everyone I show it to oohs and ahs and says they want to get one for their mom.

Underpowered? I use it to write code, surf the web, and send threatening letters to celebrities. It's just perfect for all that. The damn thing fits in the pocket of my giant vintage army coat, for Thurston's sake.

Seriously, though, the only thing vaguely hipsterish about the Eee is the fact that it's made entirely out of cocaine -- and it frequently has sex with people who it thinks are beneath it, socially speaking.

MeFi post: What does it feel like to die.
Ay, but to die, and go we know not where;
To lie in cold obstruction and to rot;
This sensible warm motion to become
A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit
To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside
In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice;
To be imprison'd in the viewless winds,
And blown with restless violence round about
The pendent world; or to be worse than worst
Of those that lawless... [more]

I have worked on a few suspensions/ skin separations/ bloodletting performances. It's breathtaking stuff. To be in a room with other warm bodies while someone is showing you their insides, their humors, their sinew -- well.

I for one have been incomparably moved by some of these pieces. Mileage varies.

Outstanding. I produced this show at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival, during which time we handily sold out the entire run. Of course, we could only seat twelve people at a time (and four of those weren't even seated), but still. Dov is a truly incredible Shakespearian performer, and you should catch the webcast if you can.

Searching for a venue was quite an experience. "Hello. It says here your main space seats 230 people. Well, do you maybe have a large closet... [more]
