A Story and a Song

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Tale Spin posterA comedian buddy of mine recently launched a monthly themed storytelling event at Le Cagibi.

The inaugural storytelling theme was “the law” and I got on board both because I’ve been I’ve been buried for a long time in solitary writing and because the topic hit a nerve. The extent to which modern conservative governments are flagrantly breaking the law really upsets me.

I originally wanted to do a bunch of short stories about the scandals that are linked to up above, but time got the better of me. I only managed to bang out one before the June 26th reading.

The event was, I think, a big success. There was some comedy, some drama and some dramedy.

I thought it’d be fun to post up the story that I read that night along with a song that I think works well with the theme.

Hope you like it…

50 Tons of Terror

Friday, April 25th, 2008

You may have spotted me getting beat up by John Cleese in a Just For Laughs gala, you may have noticed me sitting one over from the late-great Heath Ledger in I’m Not There, but I’ve just received word that I will be playing my biggest smallest role ever in the upcoming Black Flag Pictures hilariously B-movie flavoured film, Crawler. (I think I’m going to be the bull dozer deliveryman… )

The Black Flag site is here and the teaser trailer is below…

Let’s hear it for acting!
