Lala 2011 Fall Line-Up Interview and E3 Sampler

  

We recently had the pleasure of enjoying E3 at the Lala Gallery in Downtown Lafayette.

After the noise, we interviewed Angela about the upcoming line-up at Lala over the next year or so. Some topics include:

Look. Learn. Create. Collect.
Look. Learn. Collect your creations. Collect other art.

Waiguoren on Rice – S01E02 – School Days

Recently, one of our friends, Mike, moved to China as a volunteer in the Peace Corps. He has also started a blog of the same name, Waiguoren on Rice.

We connected with our friend Mike over Skype recently and produced the following audio.

Hear his tales of model school, food, and preparing for his placement at a university.

The music used in this episode, Chinese Blues by Moore and Gardner, was downloaded from the Free Music Archive. It was played from a 1916 George Gershwin piano roll. Lovely.

We had some failures recording via Audacity, so we had to record from the speaker again. Sorry for those horrible mouse clicks.

Copy from the previous Write Club:

Open Stage Satire

For this Write Club, we are trying something different.

  • write new works using improvisation
  • experiment with the presentation of written works
  • perform those iterations for an audience that evening!

Everyone is welcome at any time. If you want to write or experiment/perform that night, you have to be at the Knickerbocker by a specific time:

7PM – Writers
8PM – Experimenters/Performers
9PM – Audience

We need you (esp. writers) to do the following, damnit:

Bring journals, letters, notebooks, shopping lists, pockets full of old papers, newspaper clippings, random scraps you find on the street, and anything else that goads thought.

Can’t make it? Call our voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638), to contribute via the phone. To be considered for this month’s show, you must call before July 25th.

Think! Found Magazine meets J&C Letters to the Editor. They move in together. They read Viola Spolin, Mick Napier, Albert Camus, and William S. Burroughs to each other before bed. After a few years, they give birth to a beautiful child they call Open Stage Satire.

Look for the next Write Club on July 25th. We are an experimental group. As such, we continue to learn more about ourselves as Write Club members, the audience, and the greater Lafayette area. To aid with that journey, we started to brainstorm our manifesto. You can read this ongoing Write Club Manifesto project here.

The next event will be a bit different from the previous ones. You can read about those changes in detail on the Write Club projects page.

Here is the copy from the June 27th Write Club Press Release:

The night will be filled with booze, Write Club Battles, food, readings from old writings, improvisational creation, pens, breaking the 4th wall, and paper. Instant theatre. Join us!

We need you to bring your old writings. Anything. Shopping lists, notebooks, journals, movie treatments, poems, wishes. Everything.

Create fresh material instantly. Perform with other writers.

312-DRY-TOFU – 2011-07-05

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 just sing us a song. If you can do it over your phone, we want to hear it.

In this episode, we hear stories about Digimon and Pokémon nerd rage, being born before or after the Independence of the United States, a couple of notes-to-self about donating blood, questions about where people should ride their bikes on US 52, why Iron Man is the best super hero ever, some inaudible story about the Irish parliament, and a beautiful stream of consciousness ends our show.

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