Paulapalooza!

This Sunday at the Scoot Inn (1309 east 4th) from 2-10pm is wonderful benefit for the much loved Austinite Paul Holman. Paul has been diagnosed with a rare form of adult Leukemia. This event will raise money to help pay for the huge bill and raise spirits as he and his family fight this disease.
And yes, the rumors are true, Cedar Fever will be performing. We hit that stage around 7:30.

Meat Lick Manager

Lance Myers is one helluva talented man. He’s a musician, an artist, a father, and an occasional mathematical physics guru. His The Ted Zone series on Super Deluxe is outstanding and I was thrilled to play a character. Yes, I’m the Meat Lick manager.

Planet of the Apes is one of my favorite films. So I’m joining Master Pancake for a month of adventure, dystopia, and Heston! Come check it out!

Raintaxi Review

Some cool new. My short story collection How Best to Avoid Dying has been positively reviewed by the award winning Raintaxi Review of Books

Here’s a snippet of the review:

This is a serious book, no question, about matters of faith and love and mortality, yet it is also playful, sardonic, silly, chatty, and sometimes curt. And while this work is clearly reminiscent of the best of its kind, in a strange and intoxicating universe that includes writers from Vonnegut to Barry Yourgrau, Egerton’s take is all his own.

Now go read the rest.

Alan Watts Theater

A picture from Alan Watts Theater

Alan Watts was popular writer and Zen teacher in the last century. The Alan Watts Theater have created a series of short animated works based on his recorded lectures. I particularly enjoyed his discussion on the language of madness.
