TOMORROW!

Tomorrow evening will be the first performance of Slideshow Fairytales: The Facts in the Case of the Great Beef Contract, my adaptation of a Mark Twain short story, at the 2014 Tucson Fringe Festival.  I don't think this site really has any readers, so this is mostly just to remind myself.

Hey, Catfish!  Make sure you go to your tech rehearsals tomorrow!  And get to Fluxx before your showtime of 7:15PM.  

There, that should do it.

Oh, also, don't forget to be funny.

Okay, now THAT should do it.

Face of Fringe (unofficial)

Living on the Fringe, Zocalo Magazine

Look, I can't explain it, either.  This face–my face– shouldn't be the face of anything, unless that thing is The Face that Shouldn't be the Face of Anything.  But there it is.

I'm starting to think publications just like photos in landscape orientation.  It's the only explanation that makes sense.

The second performance will take place on September 14th, at 2:30 PM at Club Congress.

Keep Calm and Beef

The Facts in the Case of the Great Beef Contract

by Mark Twain
Adapted and read by Catfish Baruni

In as few words as possible I wish to lay before the nation what share, howsoever small, I have had in this matter, this matter which has so exercised the public mind, engendered so much ill-feeling, and so filled the newspapers of both continents with distorted statements and extravagant comments—on or about the 10th of October, 1861, John Wilson Mackenzie, of Rotterdam, Chemung County, New Jersey, contracted with the General Government to furnish to General Sherman the sum total of thirty barrels of beef.

The bill has yet to be paid.

Join Catfish Baruni as he uses nothing but his wit (and select obscenities) and a bootlegged copy of PowerPoint to share with the world his version of Mark Twain’s classic comedic short story, The Facts in the Case of the Great Beef Contract.
