Pioneer Press dubs Hamluke a Must See! City Pages calls Hamluke an “entertaining mix” which tells a “fast-paced and engaging version of the original [Hamlet] story.” “Hamluke delivered not only what it promised, but much more. Just [...]

The Minnesota Fringe Festival has posted some photos by Eric G.Y. Petersen from a performance of Hamluke on Flickr. Click here to see the gallery. We have two more performances: Thursday at 10pm & Friday at 4pm. Reservations are recommended, as we’ve sold out two out of three shows.      

We opened Hamluke last night to a SOLD OUT crowd! Whoo! We were happy, the audience was happy, and it was just a super fun night of theatre and goofing around. We had another great audience today (though not sold out this time), and reviews have started pouring in. The audience reviews on the Fringe [...]

Tonight is the first performance of Hamluke! Head to the Minnesota Fringe site for details and tickets!

I declare my support for AFAJP, Americans for Fairness in Awarding Journalism Prizes, and their campaign to win a Pulitzer for The Onion. This video joins the ranks of those by such luminaries as Tom Hanks, Ira Glass, Paul Reiser, and the President of Georgia.

Recently, I was lucky enough to participate in a music video for Jonathan Coulton’s “Re: Your Brains,” directed by my buddy Bill Stiteler and featuring a big pile of local actor/geek types. Since its debut yesterday, it’s scored over 14,000 views on YouTube, been mentioned on nerd blogs (Topless Robot, The Mary Sue) and local [...]

They do a weekly feature called “Fan Fiction Friday,” wherein they pluck the most horrific fan fiction from the internet and post it with [...]

Donny & Marie do Star Wars. Red Foxx is Obi-wan and makes Sanford & Son jokes.  Kris Kristofferson plays Han Solo.  Paul Lynde is a bad guy.  Stormtroopers sing and dance.  As I watched this, I looked like Joaquin Phoenix when he sees the home video in Signs. You’re welcome.

One of the events fictionalized/referred to in our play, 800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick, was the time Polish science fiction author Stanislaw Lem (Ryan Parker Knox) singled out Philip K. Dick (Luverne Seifert) as the only worthwhile American science fiction author.  You can read Lem’s essay: Philip K. Dick: A Visionary Among the Charlatans. [...]

I’m selling some of my stuff to supplement my income and lighten my load.  Right now, I’m eyeing my old Star Trek Micro Machines, and wondering if the current Trek mania will make them worth selling.  They’re loose, but in good shape and have their stands.  As I was searching online for an indication of [...]
