Date: 2006-04-19 06:20 pm (UTC)2 - Real Genius - but that movie reminds me of a lot of folks I know ... for pretty obvious reasons
3 - Play music ... something I have not heard you do
4 - Nothing I can think of ...
5 - Sitting with you at the restaurant and jabbering away
6 - See 4 ...
7 - same thing ... the problem with doing this with folks I have only met once ... that does need to be remedied though
8 - there is no number 8, regardless of what it says above

Date: 2006-04-19 06:26 pm (UTC)2 - I cannot think of a single movie that I would think of when thinking of you ... maybe Too Many Kisses
3 - Gather you and me and all the kids up and watch one of the Paramount features together
4 - See question 2 ... although in my friends list there are several folks who know
5 - Two earlier moments I know because you reminded me, but I remember this cute redhead chasing me down the hall
6 - I've known a lot of people who were sensitivos (or words to that effect)
7 - I know you have told me this before, but how did you get into the brothers ???

Re: Yer easy ... but in a good way
Date: 2006-04-19 06:52 pm (UTC)Mostly due to my dad....who's actually not that much of a Marx Brothers fan, but is a general old-movie fan :) So when i was little we'd spend quite a bit of time together watching whatever random movies were running, usually on PBS/odd local stations...especially rainy Sunday afternoons :) As best i can recall, that was my main intro....and their films were among the ones that i adored the most. Especially my Harpo :) Such fun! He always radiated that "just being me, having fun, etc" sort of thing....and then there was his music *sigh* Anyway - was completely shocked when i stumbled across a ratty copy of his book in junior high (even the librarian was surprised, tho moreso by who was checking it out i think), read it avidly, and that just cemented the hook :)

Date: 2006-04-19 06:31 pm (UTC)2 - I'm going to do this a lot, but it's the easy way out ... Real Genius ... I really think we should remake it with all of my friends
3 - Someday we'll have to do an opening sketch ...
4 - Someday we'll have to do an opening sketch ...
5 - It was a real quick encounter at the first Convergence I went to I think. Someone introduced you to me. Having been a fan of the bits of Shockwave I heard I was just a little into fanboy mode
6 - I am actually quite klempt
7 - What led you to write the stuff you have written ... just in general ... don't go through it piece by piece

Date: 2006-04-19 07:32 pm (UTC)7) I got into radio through silent movies. All silents have a soundtrack, and projecting/studying them in HS and college got me thinking about sound design. Many of my plays are basically movies, with the kinds of images and transitions that would be hard to do in the theater. I try to incorporate at least one element in each radio play that wouldn't work in another media. With exceptions, of course.
Without going through piece by piece, the two plays that most reflect my worldview (both on Shockwave Silver) are When the Chips Are Down (How can you objectively determine sanity? A question unanswered in either version.) and You're Riding The Shockwave (The main part with Izzy Apikoiros the AI: What does it mean to be human? A question answered before we go off into the final bits.)

3 - we need to play a show together, I'll bring the little people
4 - I can't think of anything
5 - you and the rest of the bundle clan invading the radio studio ... and you being very patient
6 - Just cause it's the ultimate quote from the ultimate performer ... I've got a guitar up here if any big-mouth little git wants to come and fucking take it off me.
7 - What is the one band (not album, that's just mean) that you simply couldn't do without?
no subject
Date: 2006-04-20 04:45 pm (UTC)On #7...hmm...that's a hard one for me. My all-time favorite band is Def Leppard, but I'm not sure if that's the one I simply couldn't do without. Probably between Lep, Nirvana, and Petra.

7 - How did you get to love dementia ???
no subject
Date: 2006-04-24 03:00 am (UTC)3 - That sounds like fun and I'd love to!
7 - My friend Wally was showing me his and his wife's extensive Rocky Horror collection, and when we got to the CDs, he had to play Luke Ski's "Rocky Horror" and "Mystery Science Theater Picture Show" for me. I loved them so much that I had to hear the whole CD. He made a copy of 'Carpe Dementia' for me after making me promise that I'd someday purchase a legit copy. I listened to it to death and when Luke visited the Merillville Rocky Horror cast (coincidentally, during my last show with them as an official cast member) I bought every CD he had available and listened to them to death as well... Was astounded by the concept of "taking a SONG that I love and making it about someTHING that I love" and thought he was at least as talented as Weird Al... then I started hanging out in #dementia, listening to Dementia Radio and went to Marscon '04 and it all kind of took off from there...
