Podcast Appearance: Radio Rickshaw

My appearance on the popular podcast Radio Rickshaw was a total blast. John, Don and Digbey really made me feel at ease...so much so I let slip a few secrets here and there. Maybe it was them, and maybe it was the cocktail(s).

"How Do You Feel?" blog and podcast NEW!

I want to direct you to a new podcast of mine called "How Do You Feel?" It features a life-coach character I play named Mark Baratelli. Each show starts off by asking the question, "How do you feel?" And if you don't answer "Great!" you are missing out on life.

Bye bye blog

Please go to my current blog. I am no longer posting here, but this is where a lot of posts from last year are stored: the ones about applying to Fringe, getting in, brainstorming the show, rehearsing...it's all here. Please take time to read it if you are curious about putting on a Fringe show or just want to know what it's like a for first-time Fringer.

All further posting is being done at my current blog. After keeping four blogs and finally saying to my self "WTF!?" I am now condensing. It seems, through tiral and error, observation and partly total guessing, that my blogging will have a better chance of being read on mypace then here.

Please go to my current blog and keep up with the show!

Thanks

-Mark

3:34am myspace marathon

Rehearsal today was good. I had a small audience of SAK students waiting to come in for their 4pm class. They seemed to like what they saw, which was nice. It's 3:45am and i have been working on the new look for my myspace page all night. I am now going to transfer the look to my show page. I made my personal myspace page look like a show page because, well, people are going to both and right now this is a very important thing (the show) going on in my life, so completely changing the page, ithink is warranted.

One thing that took forever was updating the podcast feed. For months it's had like 12 songs on it. I hadn't updated it. Toonight I conected all of my audioblog posts to the podcast. So now there's oodles of content. The only things missing are the dates for each post. And I do not think I say the dates in the posts. But, maybe I can do that later. I just wanted, for now, to have audio of me talking about the show up there from all the months of me...talking about the show.

I just confirmed an interview on "Radio Rickshaw" for May 9th at 8pm. So that's two podcasts I will be appearing on now. Woohoo. The first one is this gay one on friday at noon.

I really do not want to make flyers and posters. I want everything to be online. It's so much easier for me. But my due date for flyers is Thursday. They have to go out Thursday for printing so they are back in time for the Fringe Gala, which I don't really want to go to. I enjoy this kind of promotion...the myspace and internet stuff. But hnding out flyers...not my thing. Just not comfortable with it. And I think it's a legitimate concern. it's like anything. If people come to you, seeking out information about you, that's one thing. But if you go and shove shit in peoples' faces, being all obnoxious....and 60 other people are doing the same thing..how much fun is that for the guests?

Anyways, I am taking a break. I just realized, now that I have the myspace blog, why do I need this blog? I can just update that one. Maybe I will take the link down and people can just read the newer one.
