CALIGULA MAXIMUS!

Coming Soon to NYC!

La MaMa etc, Alfred Preisser and Randy Weiner & KingSize USA Present:

CALIGULA MAXIMUS!
Thursday and Friday at 8:00 pm
Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Previews begin March 12th
Opens March 19th
Ellen Stewart Theatre
66 E. 4th St., between Second Avenue and The Bowery

Co-writers Alfred Preisser (Co-Founder, Classical Theatre of Harlem) and Randy Weiner (owner of the notorious night spot, The Box) have teamed up to create CALIGULA MAXIMUS, a new play that takes place on the last night of the notorious dictator’s life.

Presented by La MaMa, e.t.c., CALIGULA MAXIMUS is a project with Hammerstein & Weiner, LLC, Christopher McElroen, Alfred Preisser and Kingsize, USA.

CALIGULA MAXIMUS begins previews at the Ellen Stewart Theatre, 66 E, 4th St, in New York on March 12. Opening night is set for March 19th and the show will continue through April 3rd. Performances are Thursday and Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 8pm and 10pm.

With a cast that includes Ryan Knowles as Caligula, adult film star and Penthouse Pet Justine Joli, Lady Circus troupe aerialist Anya Sapozhnikova, award-winning competitive bodybuilders Myra Adams and Roxanne Edwards, Coney Island Sideshow tattooed muscleman Tim Dax, and an outrages collection of over two-dozen circus performers, wrestlers, showgirls and freaks, CALIGULA MAXIMUS audiences should expect “an entertainment” that will test their limits of human intellect and appetite.
Caligula sensing the encroachment of monotheistic religions (Christianity and Judaism) holds a phantasmagoric revival meeting in which he attempts to save the world by ushering in a new religion with himself as its principle prophet and god. As the revival meeting reaches fever pitch, his troupe grows weary of being used as toys, gains a sense of their own power and, bedecked in the war paint and leather costumes of barbarian invaders, descend upon him and murder him in mob frenzy. Six different languages will occur throughout the production in song and at the Coliseum.

Rounding out the cast in multiple roles are Alexandra Bernard, Luqman Brown, Angela Buccinni, Claire Buckingham, Eric Dorfman, Alicia Giangrisostomi, Jeff Goldfisher, David King, Jessica Krueger, Andrews Landsman, Channing McKindra, Ella Mische, Alexandra Petrova, Charletta Rozell, Alicia St. Louis, JerZ Short, Aaron Strand, Miriam Tabb, Jenny Weinbloom and Elian Zach.

With sets, rigging and lighting by Evan Collier, costumes by Laura Clarke, musical direction by Joe Shavel and choreography by Tracy Jack.

Tickets are $30, $25 for students and seniors and can be purchased online at

weird beard

I tend to grow beards in the winter. well...i tend to GROW facial hair constantly, and yes sometimes i dont shave often...the perks of being your own boss I guess.
BUT
come winter, I likes me a beard. last year was my finest effort to date. i think it was like 7 months with nothing but a few trims. the beard became a part of me. a character in itself...anyways, its Dec 15th (HAPPY B DAY LORI!), its cold outside, its been a solid week or more since I have taken blade to face, Im headed to Oregon for 2 weeks, welcome back Weird Beard!

This time around Im going to keep track via photos of the growth and will share with you the quasi social (anti social?) experiment that I go through this time of year when I shag out.

babys butt me:


stage 1 beardo me:


the future me?:


Until then,

METALLICA MSG NYC 11.15.09

Metallica really tore the Garden a new one over the weekend. I was lucky enough to score pretty sweet seats and VIP passes to last nights show, which from what I hear, was the far better of the two night metal fest.



Metallica played "in the round" which was definitely a bold move for a band that usually brings a massive stage and production along with them. Ive seen the full show a bunch over the years, so this was a nice change, which felt almost made for the gardens sight lines although its a bit weird watching the guys backs at times.
A lot of people may not get metallica. they probably havent really heard all the songs and certainly have not seen them live.
When you stop and think about it, they are likely the best hard rock band in the game, and have taken it far beyond metal.



The setlist was definitely on point, with enough of the old, recent, and new to please all comers.
One of my favorite Misfits songs "last caress" and old gold like Dyers Eve and plenty of pyro had me screaming and pumping my fists all night. Nice work guys.

Brooklyn Vegan did has a good review and pics of the show here http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/11/metallica_playe.html

MOTORHEAD * REV HORTON HEAT 09.09.09 NYC

YES the show was AWESOME
YES I havent posted in AGES
YES I am VERY hungover as I type this

Heres some pix from my brand new Blackberry Tour, my latest gadget. pretty sweet so far, but only time will tell.
Nice to finally return to the world of camera phones after over a year using the Blackberry World Edition (no camera).

I hope this gets me taking more pix and therefore posting more frequently, but we will see how that goes...


Lemmy & Co ruled as usual. Amazingly loud. perhaps the loudest club show I have witnessed although very cool that they broke into an acoustic jam towards the end of the set. You havent lived until you see Motorhead live.
Matt Sorum from The Cult, Guns n Roses, Velvet Revolver, Camp Freddy, (anything else?) was on drums. an odd choice in my book, but technically he really brought it.

The Reverend Horton Heat blew my mind last night.

If you haven't seen and/or heard the Rev, do not sleep.
He is an amazing performer, songwriter, and unique character to say the least. His cross of rockabilly & punk are right up my tattoo covered, booze fueled, alley.
www.reverendhortonheat.com

His new album "Laughin & Cryin'" Is out Now. Go git it!


It was a true pleasure to meet The Rev & Jimbo his upright bass player.
Much love to Scott @ Atomic & John their gracious tour mgr for making that happen.
