look who comes crawling back… it’s been a real long while since i posted in this here blog. ive moved on from an old job where under a pseudonym i wrote blog posts all day among other things. i think that kept me off a computer in a recreational capacity in the evenings for over a year. but now things are very different. i still dont feel compelled to post here. i’m not doing much improv still, but i think i wil lbe doing more coming up. i’m in new york now having chased an incredible opportunity in the form of a girl. an amazing girl. i quit my tv producer job in LA and moved to ny. right now, have a part-time contracted job doing flash programming for an arts college. it’s alright, except for the fact that i have never used flash before and i’m learning as i go. it’s a pain in my ass and on tuesday it took me about 3 hours to figure out how to do something so simple and i just about tore my beard off the whole time.

out of bounds is kicking serious ass and taking enough names to feel good about the number of names it’s taking. i’ve got a badass crew of producers in austin doing a bunch of work and when the fest comes, they will be indispensible for sure. the festival is going from 3 venues to 5 and the amount and quality of submissions has reached an all-time high. i think our reputation as a great city for comedy and as a festival that takes care of its performers is spreading. ironically, i will have lived in the 3 major market improv cities by the time i head back to austin, whenever that is. chicago, LA, NY. its made for some interesting connections and i think expanded the scope of the festival. i’ve talked many times about my inability to network ad make industry friends no matter what industry i’m talking about. imagine if that one piece of me wasn’t missing. how powerful would i be if i could just talk to people i didn’t know. as it is, i only operate comfortably when i have all the power. when someone comes to me. when someone needs something from me.

wow. im tired of writing this. i’m headed to times square tonight to bum around for a few hours. worked all day on out of bounds and have to get out of this apt. i might take pictures. i might just walk around. might buy shoes. might buy records. i think its the first time in 3 weeks of living in new york that im not going somewhere for something. just going to be going and wander around experiencing things.
