Great Interview on Bedford + Bowery!

I'm thrilled to be featured in this interview over at Bedford + Bowery (a New York Magazine collaboration) covering the 5 year anniversary show of Sideshow Goshko! Big thanks to Jenna Marotta and B+B for the coverage.

My favorite line: When asked, “What does the five year anniversary mean to you?” Goshko deadpans. “So much alcohol.”

It's true.

Oh my gosh, you guys. Do you remember when this happened? When we all got together and collectively geeked-out over the 30 year anniversary of the movie, "Staying Alive"? Well, in case you've forgotten due to the intense amount of fun we had, or if you just weren't able to be there because you were being held hostage in a den of rabid bears, you can now re-live it thanks to the wonderful editing talents of Andy Christie!

Here, for your viewing and listening pleasure, is the official trailer for the Staying Alive 30 Year Anniversary Party!

Apple Bottom Jeans & Boots wit' da Furrrrr...

New HuffPo article is up! And Tater is at it again. This time, he has a new career goal: to star in a rap video. I'm not here to judge, just to support.

Classical Idiot Episodes 2 & 3! Frank Stallone and BAND CAMP!

Hello Interwebs! It's time for more idiocy with new episodes of "Classical Idiot"--dispelling the stuffiness of the classical world one idiotic episode at a time.

This week, we focus on the musical stylings of Mr. Frank Stallone and his past life as Chopin, followed by tackling the oddity that is known as "Band Camp." Yes, I went to band camp. No, I didn't play the flute.

Thanks for watching and see ya 'round the piano!



 

#ExploiTater Is in Full Swing Over at the Huffington Post

"ExploiTater"  noun - 1. A series of posts and pictures where I exploit the cuteness of my allergy-inducing kitten.

2. Where I don't feel bad about exploiting my kitten because, although I love him dearly, his presence sends me to the allergist's at least once a week.

3. A series of live tweets where I document my interactions with the sassy Latina receptionists at my allergist's office. 

Big thanks to the Huffington Post for featuring my two latest articles: "Kitten Relives Drunken Office Party Through Cell Phone Pics" and "7 New Year's Resolutions by a Kitten." Happy #ExploiTater 2014!
