The Stage Originally uploaded by RossWhite. This is the stage in my new theater. I set foot in it yesterday for the first time in its nearly-complete state, and I just about plotzed. The transformation from worn-down warehouse-style space to a beautiful and professional theater in a month is just amazing. This will ...

Obligatory Del Close Marathon Recap.

Why haven't I blogged about the DCM yet? I just haven't felt like it. I'm exhausted. I need to stop taking vacations that are far more stressful than my actual life. Now, therefore, be it resolved. Of course, I had a wonderful time and loved every minute I spent with old ...

Huge weekend!

Happy Memorial Day, y'all. Gotta say, pretty glad it's over. Saturday was the big big DSI fundraiser, and yes, it was incredible. I was completely occupied with the silent auction, which I claimed as MINE MINE MINE very early on in the planning process, and with good reason: I'm a complete ...

I am not getting out of bed.

Oh, sweet Christ, I feel like I've had my ass kicked, severely kicked. I mean, yeah, I'm in terrible shape, so spending most of the weekend on my feet and only sleeping nine hours over two nights really isn't going to leave me feeling rosy and fabulous, but did I ...

It’s like Improv… Thanksgiving?

Friday, February 25th, 2005

Oh man, I need to hurry up and recap me some DSIF 5 before I get too far behind. Tuesday night at Skylight was the most fun I'd had at an improv show in AGES. Diplomat modestly tore it up, and it was great to be back on stage with the ...

Also, I daydream about winning the Super Bowl.

I'm really looking forward to the end of the semester break and the reunification of the team I'm directing. We've been treading water at an awkward time in the new team's development — just as we begin to hit our stride, half the team has the audacity to go visit ...

Yet another open letter.

Dear No-Improv-Group-In-Particular, If I wake up tomorrow and decide that I'd like to be a painter, I suppose I'd have two basic options. I could find a local school and enroll in an art class. I'd probably be introduced immediately to a bunch of people like me, who woke up and felt ...

A constant quest for hotdogs.

Mini Diplomat's show last night was fairly watchable, which was nice. A solid two-thirds-or-so of a Harold, which beat the record Ross and I set for a great one-third-or-so of a Harold that one time we did that. Ryan and Bill were there and I finally got to meet Tefler, ...

Windy? Check. City? Check.

Greetings from Chicago. Ross and I arrived last night and joined Zach at his ComedySportz show, did minor cavorting from there, and hit ImprovOlympic for the CageMatch, you know, to touch home base and lame shit like that. A time was had by all. Midwesterners all look funny, pasty and doughy ...

You loooooooooooove the Diplomat.

Wednesday, July 7th, 2004

Mister Diplomat brings the show to YOU tonight, assuming YOU live in Wake County. We'll be at Kings Barcade at 424 South McDowell Street in downtown Raleigh. Show starts at 9pm. Cover is $3. (Cheap!) This might be a continuing Wednesday night thing for the month of July, or this might ...
