On the last Friday of this month I found out that a filmed improvised performance of mine was selected from almost 70 actor submissions for a MARTA Mind Your Manners anti-nuisance campaign. I should get a copy of the video next month. Ka-ching.

Our show this month is Wednesday Sept 19th at 9 PM. I'll be performing in this improv show about ideas, with George Faughnan. The audience provides the -Ism (the idea) and we'll entertain you with unexpected backstories inspired by that idea.

in The Red Room, 627 East College Avenue, between Figo Pasta and the Corner Tavern. $10, in association with Push-Push Theater.

Garrett DeHart's If I Am Your Mirror is inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's Tell Tale Heart and was shot all on blue-screen for a neat post-processing effect to make it like an oil painting come to life. You can see the love-child of Poe and the animated oil-painting style of What Dreams May Come at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival. At the Goat Farm, Thursday, 9/13, in the Local Shorts ONE slot (9:30 - 11:30 pm) and I have a cameo in it. Hope you can make it out.

For something completely different, I spent a few days this month hiking and camping Congaree National Park: beautiful old-growth flood-plain forest (i.e., swamp land). Champion Loblolly pines, Bald Cypress, and Giant Tupulo trees there are amazing -- 100 to 160 feet tall for thousands of acres. I hiked through about 15 miles of it while wearing a heavy coating of DEET insecticide!

With this notch in the belt, I've now visited 37 U.S. National Parks. I've already booked a flight for next month to go to number 38: Nevada's Great Basin National Park.
