HOT Time In The City
Here's what I've been up to for the past couple of months (and will continue to be through August 6). The 18th Annual HOT! Festival at Dixon Place.

I'm pleased to say I'm the official Hot Festival Hot Dog and I'd just love for you to stop by, see a show, and scratch my hiney. Ya'll come!

Slam The Landlord Benefit - May 9
This just in from Rob at East-Village.com about some folks who need your help this weekend...
Benefit for Victoria and Matt
saturday may 9, 7pm
6th street community center
638 e 6th
If you've been around the neighborhood a while you know Victoria and Matt. Salt of the earth. Jill says it best:
"The backstory behind this event is a very long one about rent strikes, broken windows, getting evicted from their apartment on East 11th Street, and then the judge finding for them and letting them back in.
You can hear the whole story if you come to a benefit this Saturday, May 9th, to help Victoria & Matt raise the $8000 they need to pay their rent/back rent/lawyers fees by May 15 so they can actually get back into their apartment.
Who are Victoria & Matt? They have lived in the East Village for a million years and are very involved in community theater, carpentry, art and gardening. If you live here and don't know them, you've probably seen them around and just didn't know you knew them.
And, Miles (their son) made this cool flyer . Please pay it forward."

Araby
By Chris Rael
Inspired by Dubliners by James Joyce
A uniquely structured "chamber musical" re-telling 15 short stories by James Joyce, Chris Rael's Araby re-conjures Dubliners in original lyrics accentuating emotions common to all eras and cultures, accompanied by a 9-piece chamber ensemble and video projections from contemporary Dublin. The composition reflects Rael's rich world music orchestral background. The libretto is impressionistic, recounting characters' internal experiences- an approach inspired by the depth of Joyce's psychological portraiture.
