how to show radio

Live reading of the pilot episode of Club 86… or what happens when you juxtapose a community of post-industrial mill town Maine that has seen better (if not corporately exploited) days – with an influx of ‘cultural creatives’ striving to create – better days.

The show featured live jazz interludes from the Club 86 ensemble, lead by Jesse Lynch, guest ‘open miker’ poet, Gil Helmick and special guest, Charlie Neville who apparently had some kinda thing back in the day with the fictionally beloved Club 86 bartender. The show was written by Mike Langworthy and co-conceived with Gil Helmick. Mike also stars as the managerially challenged, Club 86 manager.

For those who appreciate Prairie Home Companion but prefer their coffee black with a dash of SNL (the first 3 seasons), this sharply written, character rich, satiric world sounds (and shows) like a fun place to hang out. Here’s hoping to find this on NPR’s airwaves or streamwaves or podcasts, sometime soon.

10 reasons you’re glad you didn’t stay in to watch tv last night

kennebunkport heating up for ten 20 x 20s

Last night, I had the great pleasure of sharing the stage with nine extremely talented creatives, presenting to a packed room at River Tree Arts for Pecha Kucha Night.

The format? 10 presenters, 20 slides x 20 seconds. At 6:40 each, it’s like speed dating— for Creativity or a micro-TED talk and like TED, lots of ideas got spread – a beautiful sepia-toned visual documentary of organic farming using traditional van dyke brown photographic printing techniques, deliciously delicate scenic watercolors of iconic coastal Maine, (not to mention, a strip of bar codes…) an underwater trip around the world to depths of 18,000 feet using sonar to capture, as yet, unseen details of the planet, works of big bold perspective bending pastel urban and rural landscapes, a funny and eclectic journey into the multitalented mind and works of an x-ad copywriter and active punster, illustrator and cartoonist, iPod self-portaits combining photography and a painting app, bold yet, ethereal works combining simple line and a textured abstract watercolor technique, and a literal reinvention of the clothespin that explored the relentlessly inquisitive process of design thinking. Somewhere in there, I shared the latest digital sketchPloits of cellphoneSketchpad, including the new YOUR cellphoneSketch here page inviting the audience to consider submitting.

Big shout out to Maine Center for Creativity for cultivating Pecha Kucha Night in Maine – now at 9 locations throughout the state.

What’s in a name (or acronym)?
SOPA – Stop Online Piracy Act
PIPA – Protect IP Act

And are they really about piracy or censorship?

Complicated issues. No easy answers except the one the US is trying to pass. Don’t sit this one out! Learn more about SOPA & PIPA and keep the conversations going!

More about why SOPA is a bad idea (and PIPA too) – a 13 minute TED talk from Clay Shirky.

inflated or true: allegations of 13 years of unrequited leg humping
inflated or true: allegations of 13 years of unrequited leg humping

Freeport, Maine. The Cain campaign received yet another blow today when an inflatable cartoon balloon dog alleged a 13 year non-reciprocal leg-humping relationship with presidential hopeful, Herman Cain. The otherwise non-descript K-9 caricature, seemingly penned in by corrugated cardboard fencing at a local Shaw’s supermarket was compelled to step forward following Monday’s assertion of a 13 year consensual affair by Ginger White.

The blow-up pup who refused to provide his name, claims the first incident occurred 13 years ago while Mr. Cain was CEO of the National Restaurant Association. “I was a prototype mascot for a new concept fast food chain when Herman and I first met. The developers met periodically with Herman and invariably I found myself gravitating towards Herman’s right leg”.

While Mr. Cain acknowledges encountering the balloon, he dismissed the alleged leg humping incidents as random static electricity. “It is not uncommon to rub a balloon back and forth against a wall only to discover it suddenly seems to ‘magically stick to things'”. Mr. Cain asserts that this is just another ridiculous example of “another character coming out of the woodwork trying to make something stick”.

“In no way did I display any reciprocal behavior to the balloon.”

Investigators are still trying to determine what happened to the pilot restaurant which folded before ever opening and how the apparent puppy mascot became a holiday retail item for the New England, based Shaw’s supermarket chain.
