The show went really well. I didn’t think we’d pull it off because it involved modern technology

people arriving at rifififi.

and I’m the least technologically proficient person ever in the whole world, but thanks to eugene and demetri who are technically proficient we figured it out. it was slide show week. yes, slide show week. not slide show day. “so was there an entire week of slide show events?” you ask. Yes.

Last Car. The band Last Car. Amy Miles. Chris Anderson. Robin Goldwasser.

Demetri Martin. Cartoons.


The opening day banquet was monday night and we had Gregory Crewdson a Professor of Photography at Yale University MFA program. It sucked because I paid crewdson a $7,500 honorarium to be my speaker but no one showed up because they thought that the show on tuesday was the only night. Oh well. Tonight there’s a slide show contest as part of Slide show week at Arlene’s Grocery at Pete’s Candy Store. The show went off without a hitch. It was a crowded affair. The show started with music with the amazing acoustic set by band Last Car with Amy Miles and Robin Goldwasser and Chris Anderson. Then I did an Intro and showed a slide of myself from high school with a big schnoz and a stupid swoop haircut “half tom cruise from “risky business’ half the crossdressing lead singer of Human League.)

Andrea and Chelsea
then Andrea Rosen told a story about shooting a Fig Newtons commercial and flirting with her older co-star (the guy from “Whos’ Line is it Anyway?”)

sort of like a “Lost IN Translation” story. Then Chelsea Peretti talked about how frustrating it is to get apartments off Craig’s List cause everyone says “Must Love Cats”


and so chelsea thought it would be funny if she met one of her prospective landlords dressed as a cat woman, then Demetri Martin told many funny jokes against the back drop of his cartoons. Then Last Car played again and everyone hung out and danced to the tunes of dj seankate.


One part Tom Cruise from Risky Business and one part the cross dressing lead singer from Human League.
Ps. The part about Gregory Crewdson not true. PPs. Zak ORth took photos! The Photos that is.
