I got pick of the week in The Portland Mercury for my weekly Music Video Museum expostition Eye Candy Sundae, founded by my business partner The Phantom Hillbilly. The print recommendation came the same week I was up against post-Super Bowl parties, but the draw of the bar business was unprecedented. So, for a town that's been an impossible job market, I've finally created my...

Extra Medium Sketch Comedy have started work on our final show at the Jasmine Tree after more than three years of monthly comedy showcases. We hope to be reborn someplace great and have narrowed our search to a couple of venues, but would really like, for the time being, to spread awareness of Jasmine Tree's charms and plight and give an incredible send-off.

Can't wait for the next Extra Medium Sketch Comedy show at Portland, OR's Jasmine Tree. Of course, I'll have to be there because I'm IN it, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go anyway. You know, because it's good.
Now we've got Nathaniel Dimitri Hubbard (Hub), Laura Patterson, Steve Libbey, Scott "Hecktow" Klatt and Adam Higgins plus regular video contributions from the Phantom Hillbilly, Cinema...

So after much sadness, Extra Medium opted to be funny agaiun for December 7th's Jasmine Tree show. It featured "faith-based" sketch comedy from bizarre Bible stories, the stand-up comedy of Adam Higgins and Richard Bain, plus, get this, a full frontal from Phantom Hillbilly as Naked Noah.
We bought a domain name! So far it just forwards to the slightly refit .mac page that has...

Yeah. I finally got one friend on this board. Baddass. Now the world is REALLY going to open up for me. You know one person, pretty soon you know two, then nine. Now I've got to work on being WORTH knowing. Anybody recommend one of those DIY mental makeover books? Oh, and come see me be funny with Extra Medium December 7 at the Jasmine...

The new name and line-up for Jasmine Tree's live, video & musical sketch comedy troupe is great. By some cruel twist of fate, first Tuesday in November is Election Day! Which means we're putting on a politically charged supershow full of bad impressions of George Bush. You'll like it. Plus it features Dax Jordan, the Phantom Hillbilly, Nicki Toma and Tatyana Some-long-Russian-last-name.
See the video...

Well, we lost Jihad and the Nimpsy connection to workloads for Nemo Designs and the Qutub brothers' NGATWN line, but Nicki Toma and I have joined forces with Dax Jordan, Scott "Hecktow" Klatt and friends to re-emerge as "Extra Medium" every first Tuesday at the Jasmine Tree (4th & SW Harrison) at 8:30 PM

We had big numbers and bad press (http://www.wweek.com/story.php?story=4989) for April's first-Tuesday show at the Jasmine Tree. We seem to have lost current cast members Phantom Hillbilly and Crispin Rosencrantz as we lost Rachel, Yael, Wes (briefly), Nicki Toma, Jared, Sean, Hectow, Nancy and Austin before them. Are we really that hard to work with?
