Jasongrote gets a rave in the new Village Voice

[Forrest]

Grab it and read the review of his play in the theatre section. It's the kind of praise that would make you walk on air.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Aw, shucks, Forrest, yer making me blush!  When are you gonna tell me when/how to see your standup live?













(*cough* Time Out was even better though)

[Forrest]

I will let you know. I'm planning something big.

I don't think I have a night off until closing night of 1001. Will it be impossible to snag tickets to that?

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Yeah, probably.  It's weird, we've gone from 1/2 to 2/3 houses to (literally as of tonight) being pretty full.  I suspect it's a little because of word of mouth and the good Voice, Time Out, and Flavorpill notices, but mostly because everyone waits until the last minute (I totally do this too, so I can't complain).  I can help make sure you get in, but here's the thing: the theater is literally out of cell range, so it's not like I can have you call me if you have a problem at the box office.  So PM me as far in advance as possible (this thread seems to just be us anyway) and I'll try to make sure you get in.

There are also matinées this Saturday and the next if that works for you.

Looking forward to your big something!

And... scene.

Congrats Jasongrote!

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Thanks, Dave!  Or should I say, winner of the George Saunders lookalike contest in my mind!

I got good reviews from students on my lecture Wednesday on Solving Optimization Problems Using LaGrange Multipliers. I doubt the times will write it up though. All gut, no glory!

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Trust me, Dave, the Times wouldn't get it anyway.  You're a misunderstood genius!  Own it!
