      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>and every last one of them is in the moment, never to be repeated, grand-slam breakfast milkshake pretty. So pretty she deserves to be bought a milkshake before her legs get spidery from work and leathery from layin&#8217; out, while she&#8217;s still a smooth-skinned Young Life leader who only smokes socially, before every sweet suck of dairy through the straw belabors a ventricle and builds up plaque behind her brainstem.
</p>
<p>
Reason # 1: This weekend is the only time our show will ever have these five new plays, crying out to the world for the first time as they dangle from the placenta of our brains:
</p>
<p>
I&#8217;m Like This. by Erica
<br />
Making Making Art Art Making Making Theater Art by Loar
<br />
Commute Recreation or Christmas In August by Ryan
<br />
Glenn Beck Is An Asshole Or A Conversation With My Conservative Conscience by Loar
<br />
Honesty Experiment # 1 by Erica
</p>
<p>
Reason # 2: Erica and Loar are back in the show this week. Look for adorable slip-ups as they toddle about.
</p>
<p>
Reason # 3: Me and Chris made this video to inspire you to come:
</p>
<p>
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7pMKyGLjsRM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7pMKyGLjsRM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
</p>
<p>
Reason # 4: The preacher says Infinity. Amen!
</p>
<p>
Infinity Amen. And yet you are left wanting more...see you tomorrow night, lovers.

        <p>So our artistic retreat at <a href="http://www.nacl.org/">NACL</a> happened yesterday, and it was beautiful and relaxing and just a lovely time with nearly the entire company away from NYC for a couple of days.
</p>
<p>
Here are a few photos I took during our non-working time. (plus <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/59435471@N00/sets/72157624840581552/">about 3 dozen more over at my Flickr page</a>)

        <p>I&#8217;m memorizing my lines and thinking about the 60 minutes of glory that will be spent on the stage of the Kraine tomorrow and Saturday nights. We got Ryan and Roberta back in the show this week, we got 8 new plays:
</p>
<p>
<b>Fortress</b> by Joey
<br />
<b>We Melt For You Noemi LeFrancs.</b> by Borg
<br />
<b>Call This Play Make The Neos Go Blind</b> by Cara
<br />
<b>The R Word</b> by Nicole
<br />
<b>Sintitulo</b> by Roberta
<br />
<b>To Pick Up The Phone And Call You</b> by Cara
<br />
<b>Sadly This Is An Argument</b> by Roberta
<br />
<b>Horse Cock (now i know i&#8217;ve said too much)</b> by Ryan
</p>
<p>
and directly following our Saturday night show, we will be heading up to NACL in the Catskills to roast marshmallows and give each other hand jobs. Artistic hand jobs. Using glow paint for lube! We will come back energized, alive and creativ-ated. 
</p>
<p>
Below is me giving you some of this information (AND MORE!) in a couple of custom-made videos. Look at that paint shine!
</p>

        <p>Jane the intern/indentured servant, here.&nbsp; This past weekend, the Neos took it alllll off.&nbsp; Well&#8230; not all of it.&nbsp; Half.&nbsp; For the beloved annual performance of 30 Half-Nekkid Plays in 60 Half-Nekkid minutes!&nbsp; After a sold-out Friday night show filled with revelry, risk-taking, and some very sassy panties, New York Neo-Futurist resident fitness guru Dan McCoy led a herd of fearless Neo warriors on a midnight half-streak down to the Hudson River.&nbsp; Nothing gets the endorphins going like racing past stunned East Village onlookers in your favorite bra (or boxer-briefs, for you fellas).&nbsp; Congratulations to all who participated-- you got in your cardio for the weekend, AND you revealed your penchants for kinky exhibitionism.&nbsp; Nicely done.

        <p>I don&#8217;t know how it was with you growing up, but in my salad days, barely dry of my mother&#8217;s milk, my Dad was a lot different.&nbsp; Instead of being the angry old codger that he is now, he was more of an angry young codger.&nbsp; My earliest memories of old Dad were of him walking through the door after his daily toil.&nbsp; He&#8217;d hang up his coat, kiss my mother, forage for food, and then he&#8217;d take off his clothes and sit around the house.&nbsp; Old Dad, already larger than life, seemed a little bit larger still when wearing only his socks and underwear, and oh how I longed for the day when I would have socks and underwear as big as Dads!&nbsp; Dad&#8217;s underwear had a bigger waistband!&nbsp; His socks were taller!&nbsp; His penis was browner!&nbsp; I couldn&#8217;t see it through his underwear, but I&#8217;d seen it before and I knew what lay just past that thin layer of poly-cotton whiteness!&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
My youth is behind me, and I have to put away childish things, but lo!&nbsp; I did you one better Dad!&nbsp; I not only walk around half-nekkid when I come home from work, I do it when I&#8217;m AT work!&nbsp; Ladies and people, this weekend welcomes our second annual presentation of 30 HALF-NEKKID PLAYS IN 60 HALF-NEKKID MINUTES!&nbsp; All the plays!&nbsp; All the minutes!&nbsp; Half the clothes!&nbsp;

        <p><font size="5" face="times new roman, serif">An Intern’s Final Note:</font>
</p>
<p>
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>As I ride the Amtrak 79 Carolinian train to Charlotte, NC I think about the beginning of my trip. Same train, different direction. I remember thinking how exciting this summer was going to be and how much I was going to learn. However, I understood that I was only an intern and that meant that the summer was going to be about observing, not performing, aiding not requesting. I went into this experience with the understanding that as much as I would love to be a NY NeoFuturist, I wasn’t one. I was there to help and watch. As my trip closes I don’t feel like this fly on the wall intern watching rehearsals and collecting props. I feel like a member of a new creative family that was there for me even when my biological family wasn’t. The NY Neo Futurists taught me about art, theatre, love, life, and myself –which I did not see coming. Each and every one of these beautifully inventive and openly vulnerable artists shaped my summer and helped mold the ever-changing form that is me.</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'><b>I learned that</b>:</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	I can achieve greatness if I work hard enough. </font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	I should enjoy being young and the body that goes with it. </font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	Not to apologize for things I want to do, because of what society thinks.</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	I’m not allergic to cats, and even though I’m a professed dog lover I spent 10 amazing days with three feline beauties! (Gogo, Nell Carter, and Elmer – thank you for the eye opening experience)</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	People, especially friends, can take care of you sometimes, far better than you can take care of yourself. To Rob, Eevin, and Carl, “THANKS” is nowhere near enough!!</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	I can write plays, no matter how bad I think they are!</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	I can survive NYC…AND LIKE IT!</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	Things don’t always go as planned but you should just keep going.</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	Red and I are (insert old saying about birds and feathers, flocking or something). Basically we are both southern bells and I love her like she were my sister! No really I’m working on getting that shit legalized!! </font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	I still hate watching scary movies, but they are not so bad when I watch them with Rob. Someone I respect and admire very much! </font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>•	I could keep going for hours but I’m afraid my audience is slipping away.</font>
<br />
<font size="2"times new roman, serif'>To the cast of Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, the NY NeoFuturists, you all made this one summer I will never forget and I am a better actor, and more importantly a better PERSON for spending it with you all. Please continue to shine and touch peoples’ lives, it’s what you are good at. </font>
</p>

<font size="3"times new roman, serif'>Neo Intern Chelsea signing out.</font>

<LI>Neo-Futurist Erica Livingston is getting a tetanus shot as I write this.&nbsp; Seriously, we were just on the phone and she had to get off so she could get poked and she promised she&#8217;d send me pictures and all that.&nbsp; She got her foot all tore up on a rusty nail.&nbsp; Fucking rusty nail!&nbsp; Can you believe it?&nbsp; Such a cliche!
<br />
<LI>Neo-Futurist Nicole Hill makes her debut in <i>Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind</I> TONIGHT!</OL>
</p>
<p>
Yes, NICOLE HILL!&nbsp; Now, I have to be completely honest - when I first met Nicole, I didn&#8217;t think she&#8217;d actually wind up in our ensemble.&nbsp; I had called up playwright extraordinaire Myla Churchill in hopes that she&#8217;d be available to audition and when she finally dragged her butt to the show to see what I do every weekend, she brought along Nicole and apologized and said that she wouldn&#8217;t be able to audition but *shove shove* here&#8217;s my friend Nicole.&nbsp; What kind of bait-and-switch bullshit was this?
</p>
<p>
Turns out, the BEST kind.&nbsp; When God closes a door, he cuts open the side of the house that you live in because it turned out you were too fat to fit through the door anyway.&nbsp; That metaphor makes more sense when you see Nicole&#8217;s debut tonight, along with the debut of the following plays:
<br />
<UL><LI><B>the Mystery of it all</B> by Christopher Borg
<br />
<LI><B>5. Oh, snap!</B> by Lauren Sharpe
<br />
<LI><B>17. Jerks in Hell (not really)</B> by Christopher Borg
<br />
<LI><B>20. The Artful Codger</B> by Nicole Hill
<br />
<LI><B>Why is B-L-A-N-K so hard to find?</B> by Nicole Hill
<br />
<LI><B>When you absolutely, positively must get a drink from the KGB bar right now.</B> by Christopher Borg</UL>
</p>
<p>
…and the hazing ritual that has been resurrected for the occasion:
</p>
<p>
</B>New Kid!</B> by Joey Rizzolo
</p>
<p>
*Okay, maybe I&#8217;m not so tactless as to celebrate the passing of the man but I sure as hell won&#8217;t miss him.&nbsp; Will you?&nbsp; That was a real question.&nbsp; Comment on this blog or email me and we&#8217;ll discuss the virtues of Ted Stevens.
</p>
<p>
As Erica promised:

      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
        <p>As the dog says of summer 2010 start to creep up over us like an armpit in a sticky subway car, we at TMLMTBGB find ourselves having to say goodbye to many things: namely time, innocence and our stable of incredible interns. Yes, as August starts its downhill roll, faster than a heavy thing rolling down a hill, our fabulously clean-cut interns start their annual back to school migration. This week, we must bid adieu to two of the most kick-assingist interns in NYNF history, Chelsea Sanders and Becca Title. They are incredible people and we are sad to see them go, but are comforted in the knowledge that, much like a cult or street-gang, we don&#8217;t let anyone stay gone for very long. 
</p>
<p>
So, 1.) you should come to say goodbye to Chelsea and Becca.
</p>
<p>
Also, 2.) you should come and see these <b>seven</b> world premier plays we have cooked up for you this week:<br>
</p>
<p>
<i><b>tink tink tink</b> by Erica
<br />
<b>That&#8217;s A Bullshit Spinnaker or a numbered futurist landdreamscape you have to imagine</b> by Rob
<br />
<b>The life you humor may just be Joey Rizzolo&#8217;s.</b> by Jill
<br />
<b>Your Evil Twin</b> by Joey
<br />
<b>You Coulda Gone to Stomp</b> by Chisa
<br />
<b>My Summer Vacation (Redux)</b> by Borg
<br />
<b>OPEN CASTING: Horror Movie Climax</b> by Erica</i><br>
</p>
<p>
And finally 3.) this will be your last chance to see yours truly in the regular TML rotation until Spring 2011! So, like, I guess you should probably come? 
<br />
Yeah?
<br />
Yeah. I think so.
