Just returned from another raucous trip to Austin’s South by Southwest Festival. Two friends won the Special Jury Prize with the premiere of their documentary, The Way We Get By; I was able to watch a rehearsal of the theatre troupe Rude Mechs‘s upcoming show; and, not least in any way, shape, or form, I saw the Waco Brothers perform two terrific shows. If you haven’t treated yourself, listen to a few pieces of their rockin’ alt country here on iTunes. Go ahead, I’ll wait.. Really, I will. Go on. (Back in just a sec.) Right? See what I mean? If you have them on and aren’t moving, check yourself for a pulse. They’re all over my workout playlist, which is why I blame them for my reputation at the gym for being a spaz.

Getting Human with Humana
Hear Ye, Hear Ye. Until April 11, the famous Humana Festival of New American Plays is being held at Louisville’s Actors Theatre. For details, click here. Actors Theatre is where I walked the boards last year in “Glengarry Glen Ross.” Apparently, the theatre survived. It’s the 33rd Humana Festival, which has previously seen premieres by David Mamet and Wendy Wasserstein, among others. I was in Louisville recently and saw the terrific production of “Ameriville.” If you’re anywhere near the city, or even if you’re not, I highly recommend seeing some of the work. A couple actors from my “Glengarry” production, Larry John Meyers and Stephen Webber, both of whom are still talking to me, appear in two of the productions. Just go already!
