I spent years writing and publishing comic books. You need a magazine put together? You need to find artistic talent for a project? You need to find a printer? I'm your man.
With years of experience writing and publishing comic books, my skills would translate very easily into the gaming industry.
Joe the Shark NO Hotsy Totsy Burlesque tonight, but next tuesday at THE DELANCY is GET A CLUE, co-produced with The Peach Tartes own RITA MENWEEP! Posted at 10:52 PM Oct 20 view more
Co-producer of HOTSY TOTSY BURLESQUE and ORIGINAL CYN, doorman to WHAM BAM SLAM and HARD CANDY BURLESQUE, former comic book writer and publisher, native New Yorker and Shark Advocate.
Who really writes these things honestly? Wouldn't it be better to have them written by your friends?
I'm loving the NYC burlesque scene these days, so if you are a dancer and want someone in the audience who knows how to cheer and scream at all the right times, add me. If you are a band, please don't add me unless I add you first.
I want to surround myself with interesting people! I always have... artists, writers, musicians, thinkers, students... nerds, metal heads, goth chicks, etc. should all apply! You want to argue politics? You want to argue about the stuff they left out of ROME? Want to catch a horror movie or what a BBC comedy?
I adore history, want people around me to have a sense of humor, and I have a made passion for reading. Anything from historical works like MEMOIRS by Karl Donitz to an Anne Perry mystery to something fantastical like Thomas Wheeler's ARCANUM to something far more serious like THE LONG HAUL by Amanda Stern. The works of Jasper Fforde is one of my passions.
I love dogs, and oddly I have a passion for protecting Great White Sharks. Give me intelligent, charming company, an entertaining play & good conversation, and I am happy. Mother always said never talk about politics or religion on the first date, but I always do...
And why can't I put Agnostic Jew on my religious prefs below? Someone whose father lost his faith in the camps, but taught his son to have a sense of the cultural history and tradition.
Who I'd like to meet: In fantasy land, I'd like to meet Julius Caesar, Winston Churchill, or anyone who lived through WWII.... but they are nearly all dead. Right now, I think I'd like to meet Nigella Lawson. ;)
And if we are talking about women when you say "Describe who you want to meet", I seek a woman who has a sense of humor, a creative spark, has a smile that can warm the soul, eyes that show she has something going on inside her brain, a passion for something other than her looks, and who feels comfortable at home cooking with me, at the opening of a play, or out on the town. She must enjoy the burlesque scene. Will she read me an article from the NYTimes that has caught her interest, or listen to me when I speak about some interesting thing I learned? Will she tolerate the good and the bad as well as she expects me to tolerate her good and bad? Someone who has a zest for life and thinks the idea of going to Europe is more appealing than going to Vegas. Someone who doesn't think a cowboy hat is sexy, because they aren't.
Thank you again for having me last night, what a BLAST! Most hysterical show to date! & btw you should have stuck around til closing, I was in particularly FINE topless shape LOL. Happy Birthday!
So sad I couldn't make it out tonight (finals season) : (. Just wanted to let you know that I am still really excited about original cyn and will be sure to make it in two weeks to celebrate my release from the clutches of studenthood!
Finally watched the Dark Night... I'm sure a bigger screen would have helped. Despite all the attempts, there is still room for improvement in the comic turned film world.
