Grocery Store Musical « Improv Everywhere

I’m super excited with how this one came out.  Mad props to Scott Brown and Anthony King for writing the song.  (Everyone should buy their new album - the Gutenberg! The Musical! cast recording)

The most hilarious part of the experience for me is that we shot it in a grocery store in Astoria that Anthony, Scott, and I used to shop at all the time when we lived together in an apartment around the corner.  Back in 2002, I would have never thought we’d return seven years later to make this ridiculous video.

If you like this please digg it.

this was fun to do.  even though you can’t see it, Baps created an entire space jump-suit for me to wear…because he is kind of incredible like that.

When the Outer System Space Station Pacificus explodes, First Officer Huck Dougan (Brandon Scott Jones) jettisons in a small, damaged escape pod. This is his distress call.

Pangea 3000 is absolutely phenomenal.  If you haven’t seen their new show…see it.  It’s awesome.

Pangea 3000 IS my favorite sketch team at UCB. I’m not being biased because I’m their “official tech”, this team is one of a kind. They write and perform sketches that if anyone else tried, would fail spectacularly. They have a distinct voice and comedy that I love.
How they don’t have more attention and yet  Whitest Kids You Know remain to have a show is beyond me (sorry if you like them or are a fan).

This is a great video from their live show. Lathan is so funny in this. The whole brawny horses speech gets me every time.

A video I shot for Pangea 3000’s new show, Pangea 3000 Sucks. I’m a huge fan of these guys, and had a ton of fun working with them and Rob Lathan.  Check out the show to see why the video starts with “6 Months Earlier.”

I heard this song repeatedly on the radio (not by choice) and was flabbergasted to learn a few things.  1) This song was not sung by Miley Cyrus, but rather a 15 year-old boy.  2) I, apparently, developed way slower than normal in the “love-emotions” department.  3) I am becoming old.

This is ridiculous.  First of all, I love the way the video begins — where Usher calls this little boy who is presumably house-sitting for him, or just hanging out while Usher was out doing whatever an Usher does.  Then, he throws a ragin’ party full of grade-schoolers that looks so ridiculously innocent that I was waiting for a shot of his mom paying the Domino’s delivery guy and gesturing to pour that Pepsi over the sink.

He also points a lot at the camera.  I barely had any functional control over my limbs at that age to sway and point the way he does. (Something that made Mr. Smith’s uninspired and rhythm-less choreography in our school musicals easy-breezy for me.)

Secondly, this Canadian child sings a song about this ‘shawty’ of his being his one love/one heart/one life, and that her fight is his fight and her breath is his breath.  And that many of these girls called but she is the chosen one.

At 15, I wouldn’t have even been able to comprehend any of those things, let alone write a song about it.  And ‘many’ certainly never called me, mainly because my dad was always “surfing the web” on our AOL dial up.

Subjects/titles of songs I would have written at that age:

1. Hooray!  I’ve Been Cast in ‘Our Town’!

2. How M I Getting So Fat?

3. Y R They Callin’ Me Gay? (Oh..)

4. Learners Permit, Learners Permit!

5. Do them Morning Announcements!

6. Shoulda Worn Deodorant (Stupid, Stupid, Stupid)

7. Sweat Pants w/ Dress Shoes.

8. But I H8 Church! (feat. Furious Mom)

9. Oh Man, If I was Matt Halbeisen…

10. New Jeans = New Boner.

Well you get the idea.  The point is, did I miss out?  Did anyone else throw parties and have their respective shorty?  Has that word been around since 1999?  Is this what kids think like nowadays?

I promise to never bring him up again.

Del Potro winning the US Open!!

I screamed so loud! Del Potro has been trying and getting progressively better over the past few years. Well deserved my dear, well deserved.

This was awesome.  Well deserved is right.  He broke out last year during the hard court season and has just dedicated himself so much to getting better over the past year. Today, he played with so much heart. His reaction was so sweet and honest and humble.  Beautiful.
