I really was going to do another Martin & Fish installment, but I have something to advertise so it'll have to wait for another week. Hooray!
If you don't remember Martin & Fish, or if you remember them but LONG to reread the 500 words that changed your life, I just went and put them all up at the still-in-beta-website. So click this link, and then read from the bottom up (unless you like your Martin & Fish like you like Memento), and then if you really don't want me to do that again send me angry missives and/or cease-and-desist letters.

On to the history!

On this date in 1812, Massachusetts governer Elbridge "Mitt" Gerry was responsible for the first ever gerrymander (no relation). Oh, of course! The gerrymander! I did a little bit of that in high school show choir! I think that's step-kick-step-turn step-(the other way)-kick-step-turn jump! twist! disenfranchise minority voters! aaaaaaaaand step and twist and then repeat only this time make sure to really give it your all when you're disenfranchising those voters! put a little life into it! kick it old school! these beats are so fresh! SNAP!

It's National Foundation Day in Japan. It's really the cornerstone of all Japanese holidays.

Those crazy kids at Ad Nauseum Lyceum are doing another art show (they've all been rad. seriously.) and I wrote another pageant for them. Instead of a Thanksgiving Pageant, this one is that standard American classic: the February Pageant (?)! It's called "Sex, Lies, and February" unless like IBEater Andy you hate the Oxford Comma in which case it's called "Sex, Lies and February." Also, it's nice to know that this email is going to bounce from some of your work accounts because of the name of my play. Awesome.
Anyway, one reading and ONE READING ONLY this Saturday night. Here are the deets. Hope to see you there!
