C’mon, you cant even pretend you don’t want to see this film.

Help them make it!

The Improv Everywhere film is only 5K away from being made BUT it only has 15 hours left to reach it! OH NO!

If you have ever spent 5 minutes being entertained online by one of the many videos that Charlie has organized or creeped on some cuties at the  No Pants Subway Ride I urge you to donate a buck or two. Mostly, I am being selfish and would really like to cuddle up with my laptop and give Deadly Women a break and it won’t happen with out your $$$. 

$10 will get you a digital copy of the film.

Think of it as a movie ticket purchase… way in advance.

Making this video with Katie was a total blast. We have less than 72 hours to reach our fundraising goal and need all the support we can get. With almost 1200 pledges and close to $80,000 in donations, we are on our way to becoming one of the top funded film projects on Kickstarter of all time!  However, if we don’t hit our goal, we lose it all. Click Here to find out more. 

Such an awesome project.  clipartsy: I started Clip Artsy a year ago today with two simple goals: 1) to post a new image every day for a year and 2) to win a Pulitzer prize for it. Today, one of those goals is complete!* I’m really proud that I stuck it out with this daily/365 schedule - there were days when I was busy or tired and the last thing I wanted to do was come up with some gross sexist joke. Okay, not true, I’m always up for a gross sexist joke - just ask my wife. (She’s nodding “yes” from her cage.) Starting today I’m moving to a more relaxed posting schedule - partly to ease the grind, partly so that I can focus on newer, more creative ways of text-raping innocent clip art. But first I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who’s chosen to Follow this blog, or who’s reblogged or liked a post— you’re all sick, and I appreciate the hell out of you. And if you’ve only recently learned of Clip Artsy, perhaps you might scroll through the archives - there’s some quality in that quantity. *Pulitzers are announced in April - that shit is MINE.

This is an awesome talk. In the thumbnail for the YT video, I’m the one standing up filming with my first mini-dv camera!! Remember those?? Technology changes so fast!

My TEDx talk about Improv Everywhere got promoted to TED.com and is on their front page today!

In 1997, Sleater- Kinney was my favorite band in the world. From 97-98, I pretty much exclusively listened to other riot grrrrl bands like Bratmobile, Bikini Kill and Heaven’s To Betsy which I had to have special ordered at an indie record store in downtown Syracuse because no other record stores carried them. My ears were way to fucking cool for mainstream music.  When I read Alex’s post about Carrie Brownstein, I remembered that I had written on the wall in my bedroom, “Call The Doctor” which was the title of Sleater Kinney’s second record. Carrie was the guitarist.  When I moved to NYC, my room was repainted an extremely bright yellow. Underneath the framed photos of my cousins that currently occupy the wall is where I had written it.  Sooooooo I removed a couple of the photos where I thought it was and couldn’t believe that it was still there. My tribute to Sleater-Kinney had made it through a round of yellow paint!!  Until now, I had totally forgotten about writing that on my wall!! Thanks for the memories, Alex. Thanks for the memories..  alexscordelis: Back in August, I interviewed the band Wild Flag for a profile I wrote for PAPER magazine. (It’s on newsstands now! Buy a copy already.) I was especially interested in talking to Carrie Brownstein because of my love for all things punk rock and sketch comedy. Here’s a bonus snippet of the transcript of my talk with her that I didn’t use in the profile because I thought it was a little too comedy nerd/punk fanboy (i.e. PERFECT for Tumblr): Alex: I read an old entry from your NPR Monitor Mix blog where you wrote that growing up, you were a fan of Lookout! Records bands, and I thought, “That makes total sense. That’s a very funny strain of punk bands.” How did punk rock inform your sense of humor? Carrie: I think the funniest things are when you’re not trying to be funny, but when you’re trying to be serious. There’s definitely a strain of that in punk rock. Often I think, looking back, what makes me laugh the most about your youth or those early, self-righteous punk moments were when you were really trying to be your most earnest or your most serious. A lot of what Fred and I do in Portlandia is try to be really serious. And that’s when it’s automatically ridiculous. Punk rock really informed the way I view the world so much, but at the same time it’s such a narrow focal point. I think the parts that are still interesting to look at are kind of contrarian or absurd. I think that definitely informs my humor.
