Starting, I think, tomorrow, Curtis Gwinn starts his new gig in the off-broadway show The Marijuana-Logues. If you enjoy pot, theatre, or both, this is the show for you.
Eighth-year seniors Monkeydick have been graduated from Harold Night, where we have been performing for three years, into our own slot.
The site will be changing pretty soon to reflect our new titanic status of KINGS of Friday Night (between the hours of 11 PM and 11:30).
So I matched up members of Monkeydick with The Watchmen.
DeCoster - Rorschach, intolerant right-vigilante sociopath, but for good
Curtis - Comedian - just because
Dyna - Silhouette - the dark aristrocrat
Gemberling - Ozymandias - self-proclaimed smartest man in the world; kills 1/2 million people for world's good
Hines - Nite Owl, insecure and likes techy nonsense
Lathan - Dr. Manhattan, all-seeing, all-powerful genius
Rocco - Cpt. Metropolis, gets made fun of for dumb proposals to solve crime
Brett - Bubasits, genetically engineered pet cat
We don't have a Silk Spectre!
For the five of you who are familiar enough with both Monkeydick and Watchmen: please be friends with me. For the rest, don't throw stones at my self-indulgent geekiness before looking in the mirror at yourselves!
While I was not writing in the Monkeyblog, I was doing a comedy show at UCB called NeoTokyo Girl Crush! 2040. It is ending in 2 weeks.
You should see it while you still can. This week and next. Friday at 8 PM.
Brett Gelman (from Monkeydick) is also in it (this week only). You can see more about it here - girlcrush2040.com
So anyway I'm writing for a "fake news" website which we update everyday. Like The ONion, you ask? Or the Daily Show? Yeah, like that. Exactly like that! Although we update every day.
Fake News Network: http://www.fnn247.com
I just checked on the Intenet and apparently there's about two trillion fake news web sites. But ours is good! If you're reading this blog, you likely know the names of the writers: Joe O'Brien, John Reynolds, Brian Finkelstein and Mike Leffingwell. And me.
So check it out. We've already gotten like 10 angry emails from people so you know we're edgy and all that nonsense.
Man, how depressing! There was all this spam left in the comments here. Stuff about online poker and cialis and mortgage rates. It's like trekking down to the basement and finding the Blair Witch has set up shop, except I guess it's a Blair Witch who wants to sell you illegally acquired sex drugs, rather than just make you face the corner and club you in the head.
At any rate, we've cleaned them out.
So, you guys like improv?
