Chronicles of the Absurd asks “Then Why Am I In The Picture?”

Well the voter’s of the great state of Delaware spoke last night and there to answer the call was their champion Christine O’Donnell. Typically, I could give a shit less what happens in Delaware unless it involves tax free shopping or some time spent with dear friends at the beach, but in this case, I can’t let it slide.

The old “Nuts on the Forehead” or “Tea Bagging” party scored a victory over their Republican counterparts by electing Chrissy to run for the Republican ticket for Joe Biden’s (of all people) seat in the Senate. I watched this morning on some news station thanking Sarah Palin for her victory. Really? Wow. If the Chronicles of the Absurd was having a beauty pageant, she would definitely be first runner up. The reason why for first runner up? She scored low points with the closeted gay judges during the final Q & A round on the masturbation question.

Even Sarah Palin is not stupid enough to answer or even bring up that question, I mean the bitch can see Russia from her house! I just feel sorry for the people of Delaware when their S.A.L.T. leader goes to the Senate and enacts laws that forbid them from touching themselves when with themselves.  And as for an answer to Chrissy’s question at the end of the video,  “If it was not for putting a masturbation piece in front of masses, hiding the Talibanistic Christian Right Wing Bullshit, honey you would not have been elected…that is why you are in the picture bitch!”

Space Weather Alert

I’ve been getting burned out on space weather as of late. Don’t know why cause its happening all the time whether I like it or not. However, there are somethings in this universe that re-charge our desires, creativity, thoughts, etc. This picture of an aurora taken in Norway during a crack appearing in our magnetic field has ignited my love of this planet, its sun, its neighbors, and beyond.

So, the charged particles have slipped through my crack and I am powerless to resist (that sounds so filthy….I love it). Hope the blow back has you feeling the same 🙂

SPAM ON THE ROAD: First Day in Connecticut.

Spam Poster

Ok…..soooooooo…….

We left NYC this morning at 9:45 and got into Waterbury, CT close to noon.

Waterbury…. first impression.

The town that God forgot.   These people should not breed. Most of them look like they have survived the rapture.

The theatre however is GORGEOUS.

Most of the day is was uneventful. I went to the YMCA’s gym for free.( Very cool) and got lunch at chili’s.

After 9pm was when it got interesting.  After a long Star Trek the next generation marathon, Steve( the man playing King Arthur) and I went to a dive bar down the street called Venice Cafe. There we were greeted by the 4 fingered bartender named Gary, and his 2 patrons. Pollo and Alan. The three words I understood from Pollo were “Play the Jukebox.” He had filled it with quarters so I played Sinatra, Meatloaf, and Queen. Alan was a crazy gay doctor who’s pool skills I topped twice and who’s advances I spurned thrice. We then met members of the “Spamalot” crew.

Rizzo and Addison. Cool guys. Rizzo is, as I found out, a “HEAD”.   Those of you who know me well will know which kind of “HEAD”.

They then bought us a round and had great fun and wonderful conversation.

All in all a great night at the triangle.

Now it’s back to the room for a good night of sleep before tomorrow’s costume fittings and rehearsal.

I miss my man terribly.

Spam on the Road: Will’s Touring Blog

Spam Poster

So as all of you know. I’m going on the road with the National Tour of Spamalot, by Eric Idle. “Spam” is the musical staging of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The show is 2 hours of non stop Python-esqe silliness. All the cows, coconuts, and catapults that you know and love bookended with musical numbers in every conceivable broadway style.

We will tour for 10 months, in 113 cities, doing around 200 shows. The bus will take us everywhere from Florida to Canada, and Maine to L.A. The creation of CTRLZ STUDIO makes it impossible not to blog about it. So……..

We started rehearsals last week at Chelsea Studios in New York, on 26th between 6th and 7th ave. I’m living with a good friend, Ashley Wallace, who I know from a previous tour. Everyone in the cast is very nice and talented.

The show itself is very challenging. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. I am having fun, but there have been some rough days this past week. I sometimes feel, ( as I’m sure everyone in the cast does ) like the weakest link.

I just can’t wait till I know the show and it is nothing but fun.

And it will be.

Waterbury, Connecticut is first on the Schedule. That is where we will tech and open the show.

Till then,

Will

AUUGH! Todd is comin back to Philly!

As most of you know I am one of the world’s biggest Todd Rundgren fans.   I think I’ve seen him live and met him in person more than any other of my favorite musical artists.  He’s coming to Philadelphia to the Keswick Theater in Glenside Pennsylvania just outside of Philly.

What makes this so special for me and other Todd fans is that he will be playing 2 classic albums in their entirety.  I went to see him do his album A Wizard/A True Star with JohnnyD last year and it was SPECTACULAR!  This year, I’m going with Bitchin Bob for this one. Here’s a crazy bit from last year’s show.  He goes through some 10 crazy costume changes for this stuff.

For what it’s worth, I just thought I’d share a little of my excitement over this. In this day and age, one must make an effort to report on good things. Keeps ya from losing it!

Cheers and poop!
