I’m sick and fucking tired of everybody being so negative all the time.  This is a desperate, flailing attempt at starting a celebratory meme.

Elaine is very talented.

I’m not really an impressions kind of a performer, but I had to put this together as part of a larger project.  So here you have it - the Olsen twins.

Elaine’s always been one of the most talented performers I’ve ever known. Until now I never knew about her uncanny knack for impressions. Hysterical!

Fucking hilarious.

Wedding Soon

Hello friends,

I know I don’t have a big Tumblr following, and, seriously, I’m okay with that.  So I’m reaching out to you loyal few.  I’m putting together my wedding playlist - no dj, just me, my ipod, and a big honkin’ itunes card - and I’m in need of suggestions.  If you know me, you know I’m not playing, say, the electric slide, nor am I looking to impress everybody there with obscure indie bands.  I’m just looking for wonderful music - gorgeous music - that isn’t sad.  This is turning out to be a much more difficult task than expected.


So, all that said, hit me up with suggestions.  The thing I’m most lacking is danceable stuff.  To give you a sense of tone, we’re dancing our first dance to “God Only Knows,” off, of course, potentially the greatest record of all time, Pet Sounds.  We’re giving away Groucho glasses as favors.  And I’m not playing Journey.

I will love you forever if you reblog this. Seriously.  Ask around about me - I’m loyal as hell.

Send suggestions to kevin@fullcircletheatre.com.


Thank you!

The thing that kills me about textual humor is that it’s so rare for the rhythm to be perfect.  Maxwell may be the unappreciated king of comedy.

Bits of fireworks are spread all over my balcony at the hotel.  Turns out the Fourth of July is a lot better if you’re a little afraid for your life during the display.
