“There was something about music, some magical essence. Some healing power. It was able to bring you out of the bad times and highlight the good times. It was, like a good dog, there for you when you needed to cry and always willing to party with you. As kids, we found ourselves finding music and bands we liked. Through those, we found similarities between artists and found our niche in the world. This shaped us, molding our friends and choices in life.
It spoke to us through every heartbreak. It rallied us every time we fell head over heels for some new girl. It built our confidence. Were we making music or was music making us?”

I love The Forecast. They are playing The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on Wednesday, June 27th. Does anyone else like The Forecast and would want to see them with me for, like, ten dollars?

Strange and Sad Truth

I feel trapped in a city that I once merely dreamt of living in.

I think that I am going to write a Gonzo-esque expose on the wear and tear of one’s emotional and physical state due to attending the Del Close Marathon this year.

Can't Sleep, Won't Sleep

Sun, 27 May 2012 10:15:00 -0400

I have only had about an hour and a half of sleep because too much is on my mind for my eyes to remain closed. What’s on my mind, you ask? Simple! This stuff:

How much I want to study at the French Culinary Institute
Whether or not the girls that I am interested in ever think about me romantically
This really cool hot dog and sauce recipe I thought up that I really want to try out

“He taught people to commit. Like: “Don’t walk out there with one hand in your pocket unless there’s somethin’ in there you’re going to bring out.” You gotta commit. You’ve gotta go out there and improvise and you’ve gotta be completely unafraid to die. You’ve got to be able to take a chance to die. And you have to die lots. You have to die all the time. You’re goin’ out there with just a whisper of an idea. The fear will make you clench up. That’s the fear of dying. When you start and the first few lines don’t grab and people are going like, “What’s this? I’m not laughing and I’m not interested,” then you just put your arms out like this and open way up and that allows your stuff to go out. Otherwise it’s just stuck inside you.”

- Bill Murray, speaking on Del Close.

Two Years Ago

Sat, 26 May 2012 08:30:35 -0400

Two years ago today was my first day of improv 101 with Ari Voukydis. I remember being so enthralled by how passionate Ari was for improv, how fascinated I was with all the basics and, at the end of class, I did my first two person scene (I think a simple yes& scene) and I fell in love with the whole lot of it.

My life completely changed two years ago.

Bill Murray was shooting something. A couple fans asked for an autograph. Instead, Bill Murray suggested they make this.

Fantastic!

I want to be this great one day!
