For many of us, (sadly) this is not our first Judgment Day. I’ll try to run through the obvious stuff quickly before moving on to the finer points for how you can best prepare for the Rapture.
Basics:
1. Sell all worldly possessions (but keep the cash, the Lord tests us in mysterious ways).
2. If you have a get together, don’t serve Kool Aid. It’s tacky.
3. Enjoy a week of passive aggressive meeting planning – schedule all meetings with annoying people after the 21st of May. Actually, if you can, push them out past October 21st.
4. Drop off your pets at the post-apocalyptic baby sitting service of your choice. May I suggest “Eternal Earthbound Pets.”
5. Avoid party planning. Your guest list may shrink, and anyway, if you have a post-rapture party your holy friends will only feel like you’re rubbing things in.
6. Turn off electronics. Remember, just because you were swept away doesn’t mean lesser beings need to suffer through your alarm clock going off every morning until the apocalypse comes.
ADVANCED – SCHEDULING NOTES:
The Rapture is scheduled to happen at precisely 6 p.m. local time. Things may get very confusing in locations such as College Corner on the Indiana side when the Rapture and massive earthquake hits the Ohio side while leaving your side alone for an additional hour. I recommend lawn chairs, popcorn, and patience, it’s only a matter of time before the Rapture reaches you too.
Please do refrain from running across time zones in an attempt to get God to pick you up. This will only make you look desperate, and really if God wants you in the Rapture he’s not going to miss you.
What to Do if You are Left Behind: Please refer to my motivational pamphlet “So You Didn’t Get Swept Away by the Rapture.”
Pool Pirates won 1st place for best short film in the SkyFest Film & Script Competition. May 21st, if you come by the show I’m on with Phil Johnson, I’ll be selling t-shirts for the film and we’re hoping to have a screening too if we can find a projector!
I had a fantastic time chatting with host Bryan Cox on his show “Hey Get Off My Lawn.” We talked about nerds, groupies, Glenn Beck, and of course, my new album “Sex with Nerds.”
Check out the interview and if you get a kick out of it, check out my album too!
Here’s my thoughts about video games and the Wii. I also invent my own gaming system. If you like it, you’ll probably also like my comedy album “Sex with Nerds” available on iTunes right here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sex-with-nerds/id428121461
If you’re interested in interviewing me or reviewing my album drop me a line or a blog comment and I’ll follow up when I see it!
“Meep!” is a short film about a couple that attends a therapy session because they are infuriated by one another’s communication skills. Unfortunately for them, the therapist understands them even less.
I’m enthusiastic to announce that “Meep!” will be appearing in the “Keep Santa Cruz Weird” program at the Santa Cruz International Film festival. This is the second time one of my shorts has gotten into this program, last time “Don’t Feed the Yuppies” was in there.
One really cool thing is “Meep!” is the third film I’ve made, and it’s also the third film I’ve had go to festival… 3 for 3. I hope “Pool Pirates” gets in some place too, then it’ll be 4 for 4!
You can find out about getting tickets for the “Keep Santa Cruz Weird” program by clicking the hyperlink. It’d be great to see people out at the show!
A lot of talented people helped make “Meep!” happen. I could not have made this film without the help of the talented Suzi Anvin, Peter Anvin, Matthew Galvin, Howard Stone, and Rob Millner.
SHOW DETAILS:
Keep Santa Cruz Weird
2 p.m., Saturday, May 7th, Nickelodeon 2, Santa Cruz, CA
I’ve been a huge fan of his comedy sketches ever since seeing his video “Shoes,” so to get the opportunity to help on one of his projects was just amazing! Here is the latest Liam video, I am proud to say I made the bottle for the product he invented.
It took me about four hours to get all the pieces for the bottle and figure out how to make the label and laminate it. It turns out a lot of hairspray bottles curve VERY SLIGHTLY… just enough to make sticking a label on them a pain in the butt… but I got there in the end. It was really fun and I think it looks great in the video! Check it out!
Sex with Nerds, my very first comedy album, is now available on iTunes for only $9.99!
I’m super excited, the album is distributed by New Wave Dynamics and features 34 tracks of awesome. The album has pirates, obscure references, filth, and nerdy silliness you’re sure to love. Unless of course, you hate all of those things, in which case the album is not for you, move it along, nothing to see here.
Maybe you’re wondering how you can help support the album, in which case, here you go:
Some people wrote me to say they wanted a signed hard copy of the album. I am not sure when hard copies will be available. In the meantime, if you want something signed, I can send you a signed headshot if you email or write me on Facebook or Twitter with a way to contact you and collect info for doing that. Another option is to bring your own homemade copy to a show and I can sign that. 🙂
Thanks everyone for all the support on Facebook so far, really appreciate it! And now…
