FREE improv show this Monday at The Creek! 8PM! UCB Harold team folks!
Hey friends,
So, I've got an improv show coming up! I'm pretty darn excited about it. This is the deal: I'm going to be doing a show this Monday Feb. 9th at 8 o'clock at The Creek (in Long Island City) on a team with some folks who are on Harold teams at UCB. And the show is FREE! In case you desire to know still more, here are additional words:
The Creek is going to start doing this thing called The Kaleidoscope, a night of improv comedy with teams made up of individuals from different experience levels who have never performed together before and who will (potentially) never perform together again. Here is the team I'm on:
Kevin Hines (The Scam)
Brian Faas (The Fucking Kennedys)
Paul W Downs (Whorenado)
Grace Aldrige (Safeword)
Sarah Claspell (In A World)
Brian Barrett (Bastian)
Nate Dern (Swartzlander)
And here is the Facebook page with more info:

Anyway, I'm excited/nervous. Come if you feel moved by the spirit.

QLP 02.01.09 Does free will exist?
Hey amigos,
Does free will exist? That's the question on this week's Quarterlife Pounder. Kellen discusses Tich Naht Hanh's concept of "habit energy" and Colby sings a song called "plea from a wanton addict" as a response to Harry Frankfurt's "hierarchical mesh" theory of human desire and free will. Fun stuff!

Strong Takes: funky president
Hey Internet Buddy,
After a brief hiatus, Strong Takes is back and better than ever. Earlier this week I electronically published a piece called "funky president." Please enjoy.
Wait wait wait . . . you've never read Strong Takes before? It is a pretty cool little thing. Here is the deal: each piece starts with a real snippet of news from the mainstream media and is then followed by the author's original riffing on that idea. Perhaps a fake continuation of the story, perhaps a scene inspired by the content of the article, satire, parody, whatever. Hopefully its funny. Then, and this my friends is the really cool part, you the reader have the opportunity to have a Stronger Take. That's right, you can add what you think would have been a funnier riff on the original news clip, or even add to what was already started by the other author. Earlier this week another writer had a piece about imagining what the letter that George W. Bush left for Barack Obama in his desk would have looked like. I had a Stronger Take where I imagined my own Bush letter. It was fun. You, dear reader, could have this type of fun. Just go visit Strong Takes. I write a biweekly piece under the alias Mello Costelvis.
GRATITUDE,
nate
