Stupid, Dumb and Dunderheaded

Prizefighting the Godzillas in the Room

“As far as entertainment goes clinching a barbecue fork in my teeth and performing this stunt stands at least one foot higher in the minds of audiences than topless dancing does.” The Godzilla in the room of a performer’s world is to know when to build new material.

Caught in this paradoxical world of here and now, the fiction writer slashes through all the chaos that […]

Brooklyn as Tribal Paradise

If Camera Pointed in the Opposite Direction You Would See 100’s More of My Peeps… Perhaps our politics is broken but our bond to community here in Brooklyn is not.
