MeFi IRL

Far in the future, another planet is dying. The next great migration is happening; thousands of people racing from one world to the next. On an old freighter, destined to become their future home, four individuals are thrown together. Struggling with nostalgia for Earth Seven, the crew must decide how much they will risk to get to the next world first. For two weeks at Theatre Works from Sept 13 to Sept 23. [more inside]

At PyCon US 2023 on Friday, April 21st in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, I'll be co-presenting the play "Argument Clinic: What Healthy Professional Conflict Looks Like" with MeFite jacobian (Jacob Kaplan-Moss). Watch live in person, or stream it live (or later). I'm also proposing a separate social meetup in SLC during PyCon. [more inside]

...actually, please refrain from the jazz hands BUT...
POSTunderground is an erstwhile Jazz residency held in the basement of the Brookline VFW Post 11 on 386 Washington Street. This month, they're presenting four sets of local jazz each Friday Night—7:30PM, 8:30PM, 9:30PM, 10:30PM. There's no cover—and there is a simple bar with VFW prices (read: cheap drinks). I'm gonna go on Friday March 24, sometime around 8PM. Anyone with me?

Hi everyone! I'd planned to see this very exciting stage rendition of Studio Ghibli's My Neighbour Totoro this Saturday evening (22 October) with a friend, but for last minute *reasons* they are no longer able to make it. So I have one ticket going (a great seat, at £47.50). I was going to sell it back to the Box Office, but thought perhaps I'd hawk it here to see if anyone wants to do an IRL meet-up and see this show with me. [more inside]

Anyone else around for Big Ears this year in Knoxville? I'm missing Thursday but otherwise excited to bounce around all the weird art. Feel free to give a holla if you want to grab a coffee before Nikki Giovanni or grab a drink after Mary Lattimore or dance in the streets to Preservation Hall Band or John Zorn it up or bliss out to Angel Bat Dawid.

Hello Auckland! We are visiting your town for a few weeks. One of our favorite parts of coming to a city is meeting fellow MeFites. Anyone care to join us for a group picnic at the free Seeport Sunset Symphony show next Sunday?

I'm hosting a killer comedy showcase at the very cool Rose City Book Pub on Fremont. Lineup includes Adam Pasi (Portland's Funniest Person winner), Belinda Carroll, Alex Rios, Julia Ramos, Thomas Lundy, Meanroth Ny, and Mefi's own Mark Saltveit (my final Portland gig before moving) We'll pass the hat about a third of the way through the show but no one will be turned away. No politicians, no speeches, just funny.

The Know Show: Rise of the Machines. Toronto's only SCIENCE-themed comedy variety show, The Know Show, will be featuring a special guest this month—grouse! Jenna LeBlanc and Maddox Campbell host an evening of science-based sketch comedy, an interview with me, and improv somehow based on the interview with me. I don't really understand how it works but I'm excited to find out! Hope you can join.

I am very interested in the Taos Vortex 2019, Meow Wolf's summer festival, set for this Aug. 16, 17, and 18. Anyone else planning on going, either as a day visitor, or to camp? And has anyone gone before?

I’ve been taking a course with the SF Neo-Futurists for the past few weeks, and we’re doing our class show this Wednesday!
The staple Neo-Futurist show is The Infinite Wrench, an ongoing attempt to successfully perform 30 plays in 60 minutes. Since this is a class show, we’ll be making a smaller attempt: 20 plays in 40 minutes! (Slightly reduced number of plays! Same degree of difficulty!)
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll hopefully think about performance in a new way.
You’ll pay nothing and depart with valuable experience!
Seriously though: I love the neo-futurist aesthetic and I think it’s a wonderful thing for anyone to experience in any form. I’d be really happy if some fellow MeFites wanted to come and see what the fuss is about.

My band is playing on Groundhog Day, as promised! It'd be fun to see you there. We play from about 8-11pm. Good food and drink (and the old-potato smell of a place that makes 1000s of latkes) to be had, plus great company. Lots of tunes you know, a few you don't. Unhip as heck. [more inside]

My son and I are going to see a Gamelan Ensemble performance by Gamelan Laras Tentrem and the Tufts University Gamelan Ensemble: tomorrow, Saturday 12/8, 7pm*, at the Granoff Music Center, Fisher Performance Room, 20 Talbot St, Somerville. We'll meet at 6:45 in front of the Fisher Performance Room (see my comment below*) inside the Granoff Music Building at Tufts U, 20 Talbot Ave in Somerville. (I think it may one floor below the entrance) If we're hungry and it's not too late, we'll go and eat something afterwards. [more inside]
