Fantasy Football VIII: Browns vs Colts

I have no idea what a 'brown' is, but I wouldn't want to incur its wrath. Something tells me Coach Pagano will feel Atreyu's pain today.

The Little Spider

A Little Spider skitters along the dusty floor,
Through the haunted manor halls and the banshee's moor,
Because the Spider finds
That the web he winds
Lends grim glee to all Hallow's Eve decor.

Theseus and the Minotaur

The latest assignment in the story class I'm taking at work is the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. Our instructor, Mark, encouraged us to do our own personal take on the tale. Here were my first impressions.

Opening Weekend of "The Scotland Company"

In traditional British style, we celebrated with tea and cake! And by tea, I mean shots.

We do like to stay well-stocked with actual tea in the dressing room, though.

When people say, "Break a leg!" my co-star JTop hears, "Bust a shoe!" He's really putting his soul into this role.

Our show had what might be my favorite teaser poster of all time.

So, when it came time to put up an actual poster, I wanted to make sure it was done right!

And, in typical narcissistic actor style, I made sure my character was the only one on the poster. Take that, ensemble!

If you're in San Francisco between now and October 27th, come check us out at the Exit Theatre!

A Lesson from the Storymtrooper

I've been taking a story class at work, and wanted to pass along some of the wisdom that has been imparted to me. Namely, to stay away from flat ("proscenium"), or ambiguous compositions. Action should be staged dramatically, and dialogue scenes can be dynamic even if the conversation was boring anyway.

Pegomastax

Pegomastax ("strong jaw"), possibly a distant relative to Count Orlok and Lestat, has been discovered just in time for Halloween.  Since Pegomastax predates bats, my theory is that he turned into an Anurognathus.

Despite the gruesome appearance, Pegomastax was most likely omnivorous, meaning the most Halloweeny part of his diet was candy corn (which you can use to fashion your own set of Pegomastax fangs).

With massive canines, quills, and a sweet chicken comb, it's no surprise this guy is already generating a lot of paleo-art:
