312-DRY-TOFU – Mayonnaise on a Cat

312-DRY-TOFU - Free-form Question, Comment, Improvisation Voicemail Line

Here is another installment of the free-form question, comment and improvisational voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638). Give us a call to share your perspective on anything and everything! Tell us about your day, improvise a monologue about a local event, or sing us a song. If it can be captured on the phone, we want to hear it.

In this episode we hear a meta poem, a story about pistol whipping voices, mayonnaise on a cat and the procrastination in dealing with it, a mother calling about their child’s lack of a promotion and smoking about around a babies, and a (clipped, talk quieter) radio play mystery adventure that was abruptly cut off.

Please join us for the next episode by calling and contributing to 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638)!

Think! Found Magazine meets J&C Letters to the Editor. Their relationship grows stale and they put an ad on Craigslist. After a few days they meet Daniil Kharms. All is interesting and fresh again. As they grow old, the three of them enjoy reading Viola Spolin, William S. Burroughs, Keith Johnstone, and Albert Camus before they go to bed. Soundtracking their life’s journey are the works of Laurie Anderson, Jeffry Lewis, and Cecil Taylor.
