And we’re back! How’s your summer? Are you free tonight? Then come see me at the CLOSING RECEPTION for “Sequential Synergy,” the comics-themed exhibition I curated with Dean Haspiel! We’ll be at 440 Gallery from 5-7 p.m. This will be your last chance to see the show.
Question 2: What are you doing Tuesday? Because I have another wild thing happening:
Come to The Tank to see a reading of RUDY + CAMILLE, a psychedelic rom-com I wrote with Dean. Thanks to actors Morgan Lennon, Sharief Johnson and Adam Files for participating — it’s gonna be a blast. Buy tix here.
Quick ‘n’ loose:
I cried long tears after binging THE BEAR. Watch all eight eps on Hulu/FX.
I’m digging S2 of ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. There’s one Very Amazing Guest Star who blows the hinges off the joint, but I’m not gonna spoil it.
Dean was in The New York Times!
If you haven’t seen CONTINUITY ERRORS and THE TIP, why the heck not?
Before I go, I must praise Tom Scharpling’s unstoppable, unprecedented 24-hour live edition of THE BEST SHOW this week. I got zero work done and barely slept from Tuesday to Wednesday, but it was totally worth it to see/hear guests like Kurt Vile, Conan O’Brien, Julie Klausner, Nathan Fielder, Jake Fogelnest, Ty Segall, on and on. And just when I was about to shut my eyelids, Peter Buck called in to chat with Tom about R.E.M.’s early days! Holy sweet mackerel! The whole shebang ended with Chaki and a dancing Frankenstein, and you can catch up if you missed it via the Best Show podcast. Congrats to Tom, and read his fantastic memoir, now out in paperback.
That’s all! See ya soon! Now let’s go make stuff and enjoy some outdated technology.
