Sorry for any misunderstanding from my last blog.  To be clear: Cinematic Titanic does intend to put out more DVDs in the future - we’re just not recording any this summer.

…and the riffin’ is easy,

The CT crew and I are taking a much-needed break for the rest of the summer, and our next gig is about six weeks away in Chicago. As far as our CT assignments go, we just acquired  a new movie to riff/write between now and then. Not to tell you too much about it, but it is WIDESCREEN: something to add a bit more production value to the act. Looks like we’re going to have to start renting bigger screens and more powerful projectors too.

It’s also hard to believe, but since the beginning of this year, we’ve done over twenty live performances in 10 cities. That’s a lot of travel, a lot of interviews early in the morning, and a lot of time wishing I were back home. It has been worth it: I’ve gotten to fly all over the country with my hilarious friends and met many of you along the way, and doing so many live shows has really improved my “riff-game” – don’t forget, I’m constantly getting “schooled” by Trace, Frank, Josh and Mary Jo.

I also want to mention that we’ve just signed with APA, which is an acronym for Agency for the Performing Arts, an established and really great talent agency with offices in both L.A. and New York. APA is also the agency I worked with when I was a young stand-up: they helped me land my first bookings on SNL and Letterman as well as being the company that helped make that very important MST3K deal back at Comedy Channel. It’s great to be back working with them, and they will be representing Cinematic Titanic for theatrical gigs as well as bringing our live shows to various media too.

 Obviously, our live shows have become a focus for us at CT over the last year, and I’d like to thank the over 12,000 people who have come out to see us so far.  Because of this that we’ve decided not to record our last three live features (East Mmeets Watts, Danger on Tiki Island, and Alien Factor) in the studio, as I previously announced. Instead, we will continue to present these features in future live dates.  I do hope you can make it out if Cinematic Titanic comes to your area: watch us follow our bliss and the riffs that go with it!

Please have a rockin’ summer – don’t forget to sit out on the porch if a thunderstorm comes (man, I felt like Garrison Keillor for a second there). I’ve already checked off some of things I wanted to do this summer:  I just put up a bat house on the chimney, got a nice garden a growing, and last weekend I baked bread in my solar oven. So yeah, it’s getting pretty wild.
