Posted at 0:33 by Brad

Attn: Boston-area sadlynauts:

I will be playing the role of Orgon in an adaptation of Moliere’s Tartuffe next week at the Footlight Club in Jamaica Plain. If ya wanna see me act (and I promise you do- seriously), then come along. Tickets are only $5 (free fr children and s3ni0rz!!1!) and are available at teh door. Hope to see some of y’all thrrrr :-) Ask for directions if you need ‘em.

UPDATE: Just so y’all know, this isn’t a professional production- don’t expect fancy sets or nothin’. We’re all volunteers and we do this out of love :-)

THAT SAID: it’s gonna be a lotta fun. We have some very good actors in the show who are vets in the Boston fringe theatre scene- the d00d who plays Tartuffe is particularly fun to watch. The Footlight Club is one of the better all-volunteer theatres in the city, and JP has a fun’n'lively community of artsy folks who love to perform.

ANYWAY, it’ll be super-fun, I promise. I swear to you here and now that I will give a performance that has never been done in such detail or such care ;-)

    Damn, too bad I’m about 1200 miles from Boston. Moliere kicks ass! I’ve always thought of him as the Nostradamus of the Lewinsky scandal/Clinton impeachment for his observation that “To create a public scandal is what’s wicked; to sin in private is not a sin.”

    Which, I believe, comes from the play you’ll be performing. So since I can’t come see it, allow me to offer a bravo in advance.

    Moliere kicks ass!

    Fuckin’ A! I remember chugging down a buncha tall boys with some hits of acid in the parking lot and when I got inside the show had just about started so I lit up a J and looked behind me and I’m fucked if it wasn’t a cop! But as it turned out, the pig was cool and Moliere rocked all night.

    No?

    zsa - sadly, yes, I am sure that something similar to what I described does exist, undoubtedly in the heartland.

    Hey!

    I’m FROM the Heatland. My formative years were spent in a town of 1600. You couldn’t get away with ANYTHING even remotely malicious, because everyone knew your name.

    When we moved there it was surrounded by nothing but farmland.

    We’re not all morons. We’re quite different than the South, so get off me.

    Don’t get off Saul, though. He’s a little weird, as you all would concede.

    He must’ve grown up in some secret hidden Jewish cult, with meetings in basements, and Cheetohs.

    I’m waiting patiently for the public dissection of Doughbob’s various public appearances today (Salon, Bow-Tie Boy’s show). You guys have a wealth of material to work with here (although Ezra has basically blown Jonah out of the water regarding his denial that he’s trying to paint liberals as the moral equivalents of Nazis). What I’m really trying to say is-

    Seems like a business trip to South Padre, or San Diego.

    On the other hand, most of my business travel is to Las Vegas.

    So maybe. But I’m skeptical…

    Dallas is not the Heartland.

    Dallas is where a hateful football team lives, and more Southern than Heartland.

    We don’t do a lot of cosmetic surgery and bad hair here in the Heartland, mullet (which is still mostly southern, go**ammit!) notwithstanding.

    In the Heartland, we only produce traditional version, never “modern” adaptations. And never liberal fascist versions! I repeat: no liberal fascist theatre!

    Good wholesome theatre is what we see and perform in the Heartland. Yankee Doodle Dandy and Fiddler on the Roof come to mind.

    There’s an apartment complex that wants a loan, mikey. Funny thing, I also went to Tallahassee back in the 80s on bizness. That was for a State Board of Administration that wanted software product to track futures and options.

    Life goes round and round, but I don’t seem to get anywhere. But really, Tallahassee is college town and state capital…kinda like Columbus, Ohio come to think of it.

    I’m not sure why anyone would want to go either place for any other reason.

    Tallahassee has an advantage when it comes to being wiped out by hurricanes. (I’ll skip past the college football puns, he typed sadly.)

    Insurance anywhere along the Gulf Coast makes it really hard for apartment complexes, houses, jiffy lubes, you name it to get loans, or refinance same. Heads, you lose. Tails, they quintuple your rates, and you lose. Land on the edge, doesn’t matter. You lose.

    Insurance is a racket, in the US of A. That’s why it’s Warren Buffett’s bread and butter. But you can’t get a loan without it.

    When I got out, about the only CE jobs were to build McMansions or Big Box stores… and to Hell with anything dealing with existing infrastructure.

    Blue, I remember Columbus had some wonderful old neighborhoods in South Campus, with incredible turn-of-the-century brick homes.

    When I was there, the area just south of campus was in the process of being “gentrified” (read Yuppified). Last I heard, they tore down all those bars on High St. near 11th Ave. and replaced them with condos, Starbucks and smoothie shops.

    If I stayed there, I probably would’ve moved north of campus to Clintonville.

    “Yankee Doodle Dandy” was never a stage musical there

    “Yankee Doodle Dandy” was a featured number in a stage musical called “Little Johnny Jones” - which was written for or maybe also by James Cagney back in the day. I worked 4 weeks of a touring version of it, starring [bleccchhhh!] David Cassidy in the lead role.

    There were only two notable things about it 1) the road crew were two of the infamous Doucette brothers (from up around your way in Haverhill, MA, Brad), who were legendary at featherbedding and upping the overtime for the crews, and 2) Cassidy, thinking he was God’s gift to women, liked to wander the halls of the dressing room area after his shower, wrapped only in a towel.

    I can’t complain about the Doucettes, cause I made a lot of money, but I guess I earned it, having to see David puffing out his skinny little sparrow-chest.

    Probably too late for a reservation at Ten Tables. Is the Arbor Restaurant still in biz? Of course, there’s always the cheap steak at the Galway House.

    Decisions, decisions.

    Used to live in JP back in the day…27 years ago to be exact. Over on Beaufort Rd., right off Centre Street. Triple D’s was the place to eat, though I hear now it’s mostly a biker bar/crack house.

    Anywho, very glad you brought this up. If we go, I’ll hunt you down for an autograph.

    Listen, as long as we’re talking about farts - I had the most extraordinary experience a couple weeks ago when we flew back home from Chicago. SOMEONE on the plane was farting, like every ten minutes, the entire 4 hour flight.

    g: you musta been ridin’ w/ Goldbutt.

    Actually, one time that happened to my brother and after a while he got tired and just started yelling out for someone to please go to the bathroom or could the airline please ventilate the plane.

    For whatever reason it seemed to help.

    SOMEONE on the plane was farting, like every ten minutes, the entire 4 hour flight.

    It was appalling, and the worse thing was you didn’t know who was doing it.

    Um, sure, but I’ve GOTTA ask.

    If you could determine the, er, guilty party, what would you have done?

    Told them to stop that goddam farting right now?

    Offered them a tums, or Beano ™ or kicked them in the balls? Sorry, different thread…

    Well, that’s the problem, what could you do? And even worse, I realized that people were looking at me, just like I was looking at them.

    But, honestly, it was horrendous.Damn, airlines are very tight quarters. I THINK, if it had been me, I would have tried to go to the toilet, or asked the stewards for some tums.

    Do you suppose someone who’s chronically flatulent just doesn’t notice it anymore?

  89. mikey said,

    January 12, 2008 at 5:47

    I had a boss that I’m certain didn’t even notice. He’d rip ‘em in the middle of some serious meetings. I never invited him along, but sometimes he’d invite himself. Good guy, good businessman, bad salesman. And stinky…

    There was a guy I worked with who was famous for some rip-snorters. We worked on a work crew in theatres. One time I was working up in the upper levels of the theatre with another friend, and this guy was working out in the alley, unloading the trucks. My friend and I looked down at the floor, and you could see people come reeling in from the alley, holding their noses.

    As we watched, you could see the fumes spread from stage left to stage right - by members of the crew getting a whiff and recoiling and moving away. It was like some horror movie where the humans are stricken by some invisible cloud. It was amazing.

    T.J. Lambert of Semi-Tough fame, and allegedly, Brett Favre of real-life fame have this skill, or so it is known and alleged.

    mikey, if you think Hemlock was cool, you’ll think Semi-Tough is funny, if you haven’t read it already.

    Or the farter lives with someone who smells worse, so by comparison he thinks his farts are little puffs of jasmine and orange peels.

    And yes, I use the masculine pronoun intentionally. I know women do fart but you can’t deny male superiority when it comes to clearing a room or causing a mad rush for the elevator doors.

    Ah, mikey, that’s a beauty. I hated Pope by then.

    Read “Semi-Tough,” at least if you’re an old (which I know you qualify for for this purpose) sports fan, which I’ve never gotten the impression you are, but and because you’ll think it is funny regardless.

    Sorry, everyone, couldn’t figure a way to comment on mikey’s link.

    …crush his fingers in the door? Knock his stool out from under the feet and stop on his nose?

    Just guessing, m. For the record, I could never officially get that violent.

    I was lookng all over the place for when Hemlock says to Mr. Loo the Brit Top Spy, “I’m sorry, I arrived at an unfortunate period in your history, the 20th Century,” or something along those lines.

    Tartuffe is a great play to be doing now: hypocritical and vice-ridden preacher using his status as a man-of-god to manipulate the gullible, line his pockets, and fulfill his sinful urges. It really screams for a modern-dress interpretation.

    Have fun, and break a leg! (not literally).

    Really? ‘Cause I’m a little suspicious.

    Mikey:

    The company I work for has sizeable branches or business relationships in Amarillo, TX, Memphis, TN, and Winnipeg, Canada. And it’s a pretty large, wealthy commodity futures trading company. So, I’m not really that surprised.

    Dear Brad,

    Beak a leg dude! (not really)

    Sounds like a great role- Orgon is the head of the household right?

    Anyhow, have a great, fun production.

    Blue Buddha said… Isn’t that The Vagina Monologues?

    Patkin said… I dunno, Buddha. The production I saw was about a robot in love with a toaster.

    Do Androids Dream of Electric One-Slot Toaster Monologues?

    I’m gonna guess Patkin was hitting the Plutonian Nyborg before the show.
