I found an old Tandy monitor out in the alley, so I brought it back into my apartment with me. I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but, knowing me, it will probably be brilliant, insightful and part of a delightful romp. It could be a trap, though. Someone could have set me up the bomb !! Or the monitor might be a trojan horse type deal to smuggle in a secret assassin! Who is very, very short! And cubic! Shit.
If you would like to see me on the big screen, come to the Chicago Short Comedy Film Festival this Thursday, July 19th. I am in a film called "Outside the Box" that is part of the 7:30 show - ours is the photo on the bottom left, and that's me on the right. All of the films other than ours are quite short, so even if they are terrible, they will be over quickly. They will probably be good, though, given the people who made them. (See the festival webpage for more.) Ours is okay. It's at the Biograph Theater in Chicago, which is where John Dillinger was shot. For those of you whose eyes just lit up with the idea that that would be a great place to shoot me, please do not. The movie will be fun, but it's not really the artistic achievement I want to go out on. I will keep you updated with more suitable opportunities to shoot me as they arise.
(email) Incidentally, I ran into Ichihiro Suzuki and Kazuhiro Sasaki after their shutout game against Cincinnati.
"Nice teamwork, fellow!" I congratulated them.
"Tell 'I woke up' Marc to get up our cases," said Ichihiro.
"Yes," said Kazuhiro, "Why his pressure of us to home runs and
strikeouts? He is stringer for Asahi Shimbun?"
"What you say!" I said. "Marc's respect is all are having for you! When
several gentlemen come together it is for number 51 with great dignity."
"You are right," said Kazuhiro. "I have a lot of feeling."
"I'll," agreed Ichihiro.
