Pinata: Resumé for Disaster

On October 5th I read a piece called "Resumé for Disaster" in Christine Schoenwald's personal essay show Pinata.

If you couldn't make it out to bang to see it live, now you can see it on Google Video thanks to [info]greatbiggary.

That was a very fun show, and you were awesome. The camera shakes when I laugh, in time with my belly! I also learned how weak my arms can be. I start to lose the ability to hold the little point-and-shoot steady at roughly the 6 minute mark.

If I ever end up on stage, looking for laughs, I want Sandy in the audience.

It's hard to believe that a sound that big can come out of such a small human... or is she?

Tripods shouldn't laugh so much.

The saddest part is that [info]amanderbear brought a tripod for just this reason, and then almost immediately upon sitting down, and with seemingly no introduction, Marcus was up at the podium, and I was scrambling to fire up the camera.

Comedy happens so quickly.

Comedy wants you to fail. Comedy doesn't care about your feelings as long as you're laughing. Comedy steals money from you and shoots up in the bathroom while babysitting your kids.

Comedy is a whore.

After the introduction, I was the second monologue. Just the way it was outlined in the program. ;-)

Well, yeah. I mean, if I read that, I guess that would make sense, or something. Jenny just entranced me with her tales, and Kevin, too, it seems, because he, like me, jumped when you stood up, and fumbled about trying to get his camera ready, too. And with that - I'm totally out of commas. Shoulda stopped by the punctuation store on the way home.

Frickin' hilarious (at least the parts that wasn't muffled by camera shaking noises- but hey, it's not like a tripod could fit on the seats...)

"...ironically, three things I never got to use in college..." I hear ya, man. ;-)

Yeah, that was MY favorite quick line too!

Marcus, this was SO GREAT! Thanks for posting this and thanks to Gary for the effort to record it.

Oh man, that was great! I am so bummed I couldn't see it live. Oh well, digital Google-Marcus will have to do.

At least I'll be seeing you at the party and WOS:X :)

Funny stuff.

It's always surreal to hear you speak, as I've come to accept you as a mute head... that writes.
