2. A few nights ago I saw “Zombieland”. To say that I am burned out on zombies is an understatement. In fact, it’s getting to the point that Hollywood should consider making a movie titled, “Zombies vs. Vampires” since apparently these are the only monsters that are worth making movies about.

So it’s to “Zombieland’s” credit that despite my bias, I still enjoyed this movie thoroughly. It was funny and engaging which of course makes it “fungaging”. Jesse Eisenberg is very funny in the movie playing a geek who’s social alienation and attention to detail has helped him survive the zombie apocalypse. Woody Harrelson is delightfully crazy, which apparently is just Woody being Woody and not a character choice.

Whatever. It’s funny. See it. FOTIs.

Fotis + Anderson=Foterson, And I Sample The Sample Room

Happy Monday!

1. Tonight I’m playing with Lauren Anderson in a little group we like to call Foterson.  It’s some of the most savage, mean and beautiful improv you will ever see.  It’s part of The Splendid Things show at the Bryant lake Bowl. Tonight. 8pm.

You should come.

2. Last night I had dinner at the Sample Room, which is a delightful little restaurant in the heart of Hipsterville, aka Northeast.  I recommend it. But be warned fellow cheapsters, it ain’t cheap.  Sure at first blush, it seems cheap, but in truth it operates a lot like Ikea, meaning that each individual part seems to be a good value until you get to checkout and realize that you just spent 35, 000 dollars on a lamp.  Whatever, the pork- bison – something else I can’t remember 3 meat meatloaf was a delight. And the secret ingredient in their flourless chocolate cake might be crack.

You should go!

Time To Sign Up For Classes, You Crazy Cats!

Happy Tuesday!

1. Just got back from a commercial audition. No one in the history of ever has ever been so passionate about Mexican food as I just was. And the best part? I did it with my eyes.  As with all commercial auditions, I did fine, but I assume that I was nothing more than a place holder until Mike Rylander arrived for his audition.

Happy birthday, Mike.

2. The Splendid Things show last night was fantastic fun. Joe and I had a pretty good set. Lots of fun characters and for the first time in a while, I felt like I was just playing and reacting as opposed to staring and saying nothing. For a little while there, I could do nothing right. It was nice to know that I actually do know how to improvise.

I’m at next week’s Splendid Things show. I’m playing with Lauren Anderson in a little show we call, Foterson. It’s absolutely the most savage improv you’ll ever see.

8pm. BLB. Next Monday.
