A Sci-Fi Play written by the Audience - Live - December 20-21 in San Francisco

My main creative project right now is producing an event called Exquisite Corpse Theatre: a party/game/performance where the audience writes a play and then we perform it live.

Here's the poster for our next production, on December 20 & 21, top half by Doctor Popular, lower half by Cameron Eng

Like the play the poster is a blind collaboration a la Exquisite Corpse. Neither artist sees the other's work, they have a few constraints, and only know half the title. And then something this amazing this comes together! The play is like that, too, it's unpredictable and a ton of fun.

The event has some remnants of Surrealism (inventors of the cadavre exquis form) and much Cacophony (the jokers who came up with this theatrical application). I have a cast of incredible comedians and improvisers who are ready to go with whatever the audience throws them. Each show we choose a genre that's fun and everyone is familiar with. The first time it was Film Noir and the last 2 have been Science Fiction.

Our next shows are December 20 & 21st in San Francisco.

Where I am these days: updated Fall 2012

I'm blogging more than ever, just not here

If it looks like I've gone quiet, that's far from the case. Check out my tumblr blog where I'm posting daily. You'll find me there talking about art, San Francisco, animals, theater, comedy, and other things that I love.

Work-wise I'm consulting on advertising UX, social media marketing and optimization, strategic site design, and other in-demand expertises. See my LinkedIn page for more. I'm in the market for the next full-time step in my career, too. So get in touch if you know something that seems a good fit. I want to work on a truly great product with really smart people. I'm happy to play any number of roles from marketing to product or project management to writing and strategy. Or a little bit of all of those.

I also continue to write regularly for LaughingSquid.com and you'll find me in Hi Fructose magazine (print only, not online). My writing appears in the third Hi Fructose collected edition and the amazing Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society both soon-to-be-published by Last Gasp. My "Can Haz DJ" radio show and blog on RadioValencia.fm are on hiatus, but podcast archives of the show are online and I keep a Facebook page for the show going like a slo-mo-radi-o-show.

And you'll find me on the usual social places: @mikl_em, flickr, and if you're clever Instagram, Path, etc.
