Encyclopedia Brown v. Board of Education
Since it began in December, I've provided music for The Encyclopedia Show, a monthly showcase of spoken word/music/visual art/etc. created and hosted by my buds Robbie Q Telfer and Shanny Jean Maney-Magnuson. Each show is loosely based around a theme (bears, the moon, colors, explosives, the future) and different contributors are invited to write short pieces based on topics related to the theme.
Gapers Block just posted an interview with Robb about the show (in which I get a sweet name check - thanks, RQT!)
We had a moon pinata (made by my friend Meghan Keys) for the show we did for THE MOON. It was full of string cheese. My buddy Eric was holding the pole for it, which was kind of short, and we gave a cane to our friend Al to try and whack the pinata open. Al is a delightful puppet-making lady, whose control over blindfolded cane-swinging was immediately questionable when she started flailing. Luckily, she didn't kill Eric, the pinata burst open with cheese for the children, and the audience started chanting "GOOD IDEA, GOOD IDEA." That was a highlight.
