Parallelogramophonograph + Jordan T. Maxwell = Awesome

Thursday, 8pm. Coldtowne Theater.

Sweet.

I hope you guys are doing narrative. Jordan craps stories out his ears. You should see what comes out of his butt-hole. It's epic.

Look who you're talking to, Stern!

I should know this from first-hand experience.

Character: "Who are you?"
Jordan: "I'm the hero!"

This is going to be more awesome than watching two rotating charged Kerr black holes merge.

i'm so frakking excited and honored to be doing this! we've been trying to arrange this for a while now, whenever i come into town but somehow it never quite meshes up. but now, the planets are aligned, the wormhole has opened, my TARDIS is charged up and it's time to soak up some quantum amounts of sweetness.

blam.

Bill! we swore a blood oath to never speak of the horrors that emerged that night!

ah, yes...me at my most archetypal. who needs dimensions and depth to their characters when i can just spout Joseph Campbell in song and dance all night long?

Last night was epic. It made my head hurt and my tummy laugh.

It's actually impossible to do a show with Jordan and not have it be epic. At least I've never seen it.

This story was so epic (and scary), I have no choice but to recap it later.

PGraph really knows how to weave a really, really creepy narrative, and Jordan really knows how to play an epic hero.

Actually Roy's quantum mechanic remarks last night reminded me of this great book that makes physics not hurt so much

weird thing? i wasn't even setting out to be the "hero" in that first scene. i figured i'd be in a support role as the priest (sort of what Kareem wound up being), either furthering Kareem as the prot or both of us sort of being the wacky clerical sidekicks to someone else as the hero. then Kareem got the letter and said "you're going on a mission trip to Braziwul" (at least i think that's how you spell it. ) and my brain went "hmm...low status character...quest...guess i'm the hero tonight. time to put on my journey boots!"

i had a blast doing the show and getting to play off of all of P-Graph. i can now legitimately state that one of the highlights of my trip was having a theological debate with Roy as a quantum computer. i haven't gotten to do straight up narrative in a long time, so huge thanks to Kareem, Roy, Kaci and Val for letting me share their stage. and for giving me back my T.
