Do yourself a favor: Grab a Tecate at the bar downstairs & get a good seat because this show will be insane!
I’m not sure how Ruby & I are gonna follow up to perform after all 5 of these duos are done. But dang, I’ll go load up on the Vitamin Water now.
Ran under 1 hour 50 minutes & my right nipple’s bloody! Mission accomplished!
Ready to run the Queens 1/2 Marathon @ 7am!
Shit’s about to get real this morning ‘cause my game face is here.
This awesome photo was taken by Kathryn Dunn. Shot @ Simple Studios in the dark 2 weeks ago.

Dearly Beloved performs The Wake, an improvisational form developed by Alex Marino and originally performed by the Necropolitans many years ago. From the invocation of a name pulled from the obituary pages, Dearly Beloved gives the recently deceased their final chance to have their story told on stage through a series of improvised scenes. With scenes that vary from the side splitting hilarious to the gut-wrenchingly tragic, Dearly Beloved invites you to celebrate the life and death of a complete stranger.
Directed by Alex Marino
This is wonderful in every way.

A gay man at Chicago’s gay pride hugging a group of Christian men and women who had protests of apologies for the hatred the church and religious groups everywhere had for the LGBT community.
“I spent the day at Chicago’s Pride Parade. Some friends and I, with The Marin Foundation, wore shirts with ‘I’m Sorry’ written on it. We had signs that said, ‘I’m sorry that Christians judge you,’ ‘I’m sorry the way churches have treated you,’ ‘I used to be a bible-banging homophobe, sorry.’ We wanted to be an alternative Christian voice from the protestors that were there speaking hate into megaphones.”
Nathan, one of the Christian men present blogged about it here.

I planned on avoiding “The Last Airbender” anyway. But this piece hits the nail on the head as far as casting in Hollywood for minorities is concerned.
splinterend:
As some of you may know, Paramount commissioned (in)famous director M. Night Shyamalan to adapt the popular Nickelodian series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” into a movie trilogy. The TV series revolves a fantasical, Hayao Miyazaki-inspired universe that deals with individuals capable of controlling and manipulating (aka “bending”) one or several of the earth’s elements – Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire – and how the main protagonist, Aang, the Last Airbender, is destined to bring back balance when the Fire nation’s imperialistic and war-mongering desires get out of hand. The movie is slated for release July 1st this year, and its production has led to a lot of controversy specifically with regards to its casting.
Though I’m not a particular fan of the show (nor do I dislike it) and am simply neutral overall, I feel that it is necessary to state for several reasons why I will not support this movie for professional, philosophical and personal reasons.

“Caste system?” THAT’S one of the rumors about UCB???
is this news to people? i thought everyone knew this
I didn’t realize it was an organized caste system. I just followed the logic that people who never get out of the theater inevitably end up dating other people who…
Also, its good that the UCBoys have discovered Craigslist for this purpose. Male Magneteers just have a thread on the theater message board where they whine about the lack of eligible females at the Magnet. Which they would probably notice is not true if they didn’t spend so much time on the message board. I have photographic evidence of how wrong they all are.
Not sure which thread on the Magnet message board you’re talking about - perhaps the infamous thread “The Magnet is THE place for single guys!” perhaps? Not sure if they’re all whining - I think that was just Dan Abrams, Mike Short, & maybe Alex Marino. But those 3 really need to get off that message board - said the one who has the most posts on that message board. :-P
Fair enough. I’ll go back to the message board now.

This is an email I just sent to friends and family. Please read, and please call. And please, please reblog (PLEASE) and help me spread the word. It would mean a lot to me.
This past June 14th marks 4 years since my mother Martha was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. June 17th would have been…
Just called Sen. Schumer, Sen. Gillibrand, & Rep. Peter King. It only took me 10 minutes to contact them to co-sponsor S.3320 & H.R. 745.
Easy!
