These are my inner-most thoughts, mostly about comedy and technology, but also occasionally other non-sequitur, tangential rants. Well OK, maybe these aren't my INNER-most thoughts. Those are mostly about dancers and Swedes, and would probably get me locked up if they ever became public ... but some hopefully interesting thoughts, anyways.
We had fun this weekend unicycling, juggling and spinning poi in the park. Then we got rained on. Did that stop us? Hell no!
My bathrobes got more use than they have in ages.

Through the generous efforts of a kind friend I scored a coveted ticket for Shakespeare in the Park. Hooray!
Alas, because of this ...
... instead of Hamlet, I got this ...
... a view of a rain-soaked stage. There had been an open flame in the center of the stage which was snuffed out by the deluge.
Immediately after I snapped this picture, an usher ran up and said that photos were prohibited and demanded I delete the image in front of her. I chose a different pic and then showed her the big red delete button as I pressed it. She was too clever for my trick and said "that wasn't the photo you took." But as we were both getting soaked to the core, she gave up when I just played stupid and ignored her.
Later I emailed the photo to my home computer in case she sent the Unauthorized-Photo Goons after me.
So what do a gang of nerds all do when they're waiting to see if their theater is going to be canceled due to rain?
Everyone checks the weather radar on their iPhone, of course.
In NYC, the short, sad little life of a cheap umbrella usually ends something like this....

Check it, Mr. Electro-Pop: http://www.myspace.com/unicornkid
Think Wendy Carlos meets Don Dorsey. No really, THINK IT! His name's Oli. I think he promised a kiss if we ever meet. Then, I'd slap him silly for being soo dagg talented at 16yo. I hate prodigies.

Oh, yeah. If you thought it was raining bad at Hamlet, check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s1YLJ4iwwM and be thankful you weren't one of the couple hundred of these guys (most of whom ran at the first raindrop). BTW, are YOU Anonymous?
I went to the Improv Everywhere Camera Flash Experiment on the Brooklyn Bridge a few weeks ago and now the video is out. The idea was to use camera flashes to do the wave across the bridge.
Between the rain and the difficulty coordinating 700 people with cameras they don't actually know how to use the wave thing didn't really work. But there are still some fun visuals and I made a bunch of new friends.
I made my first Flickr album of Soggy Brooklyn Bridge Shenanigans. If you tell me how much you love my photo albums and beg for more I might just finally get around to putting up the pics from my Bali, Indonesia and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico trips. But ya gotta really want it.
