Where am I supposed to speak my mind? Here? If so, I think anything Neil
"Balls" Campbell has written or been naked in (even partially) should be
included in BONS.
What can I say? I am a fan of Balls.

Yep -- this is the place to nominate your faves. Was there anything he's done
this semester that stands out for you?
Sometimes with the more prolific people (Stangl, Lawson, Luxton, etc.) is hard
to narrow it down, but I'm sure the board would appreciate all the help they
can get with that..

You know, he actually showed off the world's largest collection of skin at the
67 Montreal Expo. Much of it had been artificially grown in vats, but Neil's
exhibition was shut down when questions arose about the section of skin that
bore a tattoo which said only, "Mother." The plaintive quest of that forlorn
patch goes unfulfilled today, as no one has ever ascertained whose skin it was
or why Neil had it. Despite the fact that no criminal charges were passed, Neil
remains persona non grata in Canada and most French colonies, except (curiously
enough) St. Pierre and Miquelon, where he has been photographed on
whale-spotting tourist expeditions.

Tonight, whilst shopping chocolate shakes and stale, overpriced cookies at
the Coralville Perkins, I spied around 1 A.M. CDT what could only have
been THE ENTIRE NO SHAME BOARD meeting over substandard, overpriced,
late-night Perkins fare! Doubtless, they were hashing out their picks for
the impending Best of No Shame performance, exercising their rights to
make selections as diligently and responsibly as possible. Kudos, No

[No Shame> msg #9112 (1 remaining)] Read cmd -> Next
Apr 21, 2001 09:55 from Avenue Player
hm...this isn't scientific, but here's my approximation:
1. Lisa Day (did a good monologue and never came back...yet!)
2. Erin King (has done several things, one of which will be in BONS)
3. Amanda the Improv Girl (same situation as Erin, but with improv stories)
4. Pookman (just weird)
5. this may have been the first semester Sam Negron did anything
6. Seth Brenneman and crew? i can't remember if they did anything last
semester, but this is certainly their first "active" semester
7. several musicicans (most of which were one-timers whose names I don't
remember)
8. but there were
9. at least three
10. or four of them. But one was Mike Brooks.
that's all i can think of right now. i don't think there were any new ones
last night, so these are over this semester.
oh wait.
11. steph braun, who did Mark's piece a few weeks ago
12. Tina Sherwood
13. Tom Knapp (i think this is his first semester writing)
14. Michelle, Paul Rust's friend
15. the woman who did a Nella Christo Arbock piece whose name I don't
remember. her hair was blonde. it wasn't sheila. or me. or Tina Sherwood.
ok, that's all i can think of now for real.

Hey--mentioning Lisa Day, she wrote one of the plays that's going to be in
Playwright's Festival. One might surmise that she has been too busy to do No
Shame because she's been involved with the production to some extent, and that
she'll be back again when circumstances permit. One might be thinking
wishfully, but hopefully one has a point.

Well, as much as I like that sports team, and I'm really impressed/frustrated
with their recent comeback/losing streak, I'm more of an Other Sports Team or
Participant fan myself. I think they have a chance at accomplishing something
sports related. But all that said, I'm much more of a Different Sport person
than a This Sport watcher. Many's the afternoon/morning/evening/night on a
hot/cold/cool/warm summer/fall/winter/spring
arena/club/turf/table/rink/gym/ring/street/track/lane/field/pool/court/range
watching Different Sport. You may defend First Sport, saying it's the more
traditional/underappreciated passtime of the two, but once you've been out/in
there, breathing the same air/water as the athletes and getting down/up and
dirty/clean with the rest of the thronging/sparse Different Sport fans, I'm
sure you'll understand/dismiss my position.

I believe this is the "Week of Welcome" outdoor performance
that was referenced on the web board:
No Shame is taking part in the Weeks of Welcome festival
this year, and on Friday, August 31st, at 9:30pm, there will be
a free outdoor mini-No Shame. The show will take place in
Blackhawk Square on the Ped Mall (next to The Den), and will
last 30-45 minutes. Unlike a true No Shame, however, the
writers for this show have all been predetermined. So, unless
you've been asked to do so, don't show up with a piece and try
to get into the show! Sorry.
So spake Balls.
I'm not sure, though, why he would say 9:30 when the poster says 9. I guess
showing up at 9 just in case wouldn't hurt.

Q:
What was the deal with the Wish I Was A Dog pieces?
...Just Curious in Just California

Sep 24, 2001 06:42 from Ender
Neil did a piece called I Wish I Was a Dog. I can't remember what inspired him
to encourage other people to name their pieces the same (if he explained it),
but needless to say there were a couple of pieces performed out of order due to
the resulting confusion. And there were also fun moments in the reading of the
order (e.g., when someone appeared to have named their piece something else,
and then the title continued "...or, I Wish I Was a Dog").

Sep 29, 2001 12:25 from Balls
actually, regarding the i wish i was a dog thing, that title came from a quote
from a video i own, as was explained in stangl's piece. the week before in
line, somebody, possibly stangl but not myself, suggested that everybody name
their pieces "i wish i was a dog" the next week, and then most of those who
missed or forgot the announcement changed their titles while waiting in line
the next week.
oh, the video is called "kook's tour" and it is the horrific final appearance
of the 3 stooges.

Ahhh. I am not surprised to see people getting together on a group joke. But
the cooperation was sooo thorough that I could only assume that it was some
sort of bizarre tribute to the WTC victims. I could not, however, figure out
what that had to do with dogs. I see now that one should never estimate the
ability of No Shamers to unify behind a single joke, no matter how great or
small.

It is only a three and a half hour drive from Iowa City.
I'd be willing to feed the preformers. and let them sleep on the floor.

I thought Ranger Rick's piece (sorry, I didn't take the time to go back and get
his actual name) was quite a bit longer than 5 minutes. While I don't find his
stories entertaining, something about him is amusing -- but only for about two
minutes. The material couldn't sustain the interest. I would suspect that 90%
or so of the audience would agree with me, a statement I will examine just for
the hell of it:
Defense - while some performers will say "the audience laughed the whole way
through, so they loved me", in the past it has been demonstrated that the
audience will laugh at anything well past the point of reason because it so
desperately wants to find the funny. It helps them not hate someone for not
being great, and supports the valid idea that "no shame" means "what the hell,
give it a shot, what can you lose" -- but shouldn't be mistaken for "I have no
room for improvement."
Admission - I'm a bit of a critic, so sue me. Maybe others are more forgiving.

Well, I certainly agree that some parts of it were funny, but I think that some
of it was just plain stupid, regardless of length. It could have been done
well, but it was not. Another thing, I had a bit of trouble hearing a few
parts. As for the audience laughing, for some parts one guy (3 seats down from
me) was laughing hysterically everytime "haunted mesa" was said. I don't know
if he really found it that funny, or if it was insincere laughter, but a bunch
of people started laughing at that guy laughing. So just because there is
laughter in the audience, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is at the piece.

The three pictures I took of the audience from the stage last semester are up
on my website. The address for the page is
www.envy.nu/internetsite/pictures.html for those interested. One picture is
from the show on October 26, the other two from BONS on December 14.
Highlights include the facial expressions in the first row in the first
picture, Neil Campbell's enthusiastic double-flipping-of-the-bird in the
second, and Alyssa Bowman's mysterious hand gestures in the
third.

Right. Wish me luck.
I'm looking for two pieces done at No Shame some seven years ago or so.
Unfortunately, I no neither the authors nor the performers; I know only two key
lines that have stuck out in my mind for the better part of the last decade.
Piece 1:
Performer/writer was female, and the line that sticks out at me is something
along the lines of "We're sorry, you need to pick up your daughter because a
Serious Child Error has occurred." It was centered around computer humor,
around the phrase 'serious disk error'.
Piece 2:
One-shot monologue, male writer/performer, in a vaguely Denis Leary manner,
talking about how "I am the asshole who..." Just went on for about five or six
minutes.
I know these are longshots, but it's worth a try.
Any info or questions, drop it in my mail here or to trailsong@yahoo.com.
Thanks!

The second I don't know.

Any chance that you or someone here knows how to contact her so I can get a
copy of that piece?
And if it helps and someone has a list of stuff that was performed that same
night as Megan's piece, the other piece I mentioned was done that same night.
It was an ISCAnic weekend; that's why I got the chance to see No Shame that
weekend.
Thanks for the help, Pru.

The orders for '94-'95 are pretty sketchy, available here:
http://www.noshame.org/iowacity/ord9495.htm
You might want to peruse the list to see if any of the pieces without specific
dates sound like they might be what you're looking for. Megan's Serious Disk
Error was performed at BONS (was it a Best of No Shame night when ISCAnic
happened?). If it was the BONS night, that order is listed in its entirety,
but if it was a non-BONS then the other piece may or may not be listed.

(This in reference to the "I'm the asshole who..." piece you mentioned.) What

probably still is, but a few years can change things).

I would like to announce that my recent reading has led to a staggering
discovery. During the fall and winter of 1994, I did a great deal of research
on the political anthropology of the nation-state, and its relationship to
ecological economics. I was staggered to find that many of the solutions I
suggested were discussed or implemented in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy,
and furthermore that I had recreated a great many of the arguments of Murray
Bookchin.

Rumpy. Ah, yes. Rumpy all started when I, Michael Tabor, wanted to make a skit
about a nerd boxing a jock. It comes from my interest in reused television
plots in sitcoms. There's the episode where they go ice fishing. The one where
they sky-dive. And there's the one where the nerd boxes the jock. Every sitcome
does it. Well, I was trying to think of what to name it and for some reason, a
reason that not even he knows, Jason Nebergall said "Rumpy." That was the birth
of the beloved Rumpy. Then we thought it would be fun to try to get as many
people as possible to write a Rumpy. The communication was kind of short notice
and not everyone knew about it, but I was pleased with the outcome. There were
a lot of skits that had Rumpy as a character, even if not the main one. Also a
few people ad libbed something about Rumpy. I think that explains it.

WHO THE HELL IS SHE?
I believe this is from an old Carolyn Space Jacobson poetry reading.

really, who the hell *IS* she?

Shame?" The answer was "Sure." Actually we'd more or less already decided
that, and Chris Stangl has put some posters around downtown, but it's all very
seat-of-one's-pants.
And by "one's" I mean Neil "Balls" Campbell, of course.
P.S. If you haven't read "My Naked Dad" yet, you must.

Carolyn: See, I'm-a gettin' old, and "fuck" is too harsh a word for my newly
sensitive old-lady ears. In 12 more years, I'll be remembering it as "Who the
gee-willickers is she?" Which makes for cruddy haiku, but I'll just blame you,
so I can feel good about myself.
And worry not about your legacy. We also still yell at each other, "STRONG
WOMEN TURN ME ON!" And "I like my women like I like my kiwi fruit... firm, yet
yielding, tart, yet sweet, and covered with fuzzy brown hair." And then there's
always "Cool! Do me! Or better yet, let ME do YOU!"
I think those are all from the same piece, actually.

So maybe you oldsters don't read the web board (and really what am I doing
reading the web board. Don't I have a life? Shouldn't I be out chasing girls or
novels or novel girls? Haven't I let go? Answer: No.) so I should make a little
announcement here. Ready? Strapped in? Are you sure you've done this before?
Okay. Here goes:
No Shame Theatre at Performance Space 122 (150 First Ave., New York, NY) will
commence on Friday, September 13th, at 11pm. Scripts will be taken starting at
10:30 in the lobby. Standard No Shame rules will apply, EXCEPT:
1) Admission will be $5. Welcome to Manhattan.
2) Performers will have to pay, too. Welcome to rent-intensive downtown
Manhattan.
3) The five-minute rule will be strictly enforced. Pieces that go over 5:30
will be cut off by blaring death metal, courtesy of PS 122's bitchin' sound
system, constructed by reluctant sound technician Me. Pieces between 5:00 and
5:30 will receive a polite reminder after the show.
4) This rule will not be enforced, but we respectfully ask that you not do
stand up. Nobody will yell at you if you do, but please, Oh Sweet Fancy Moses,
don't do stand up.
Otherwise, it's just like Iowa City, only with a handsome, debonair version of
me rather than the gawking late-teen version of me that most of you knew.
Seriously. I'm like eight feet tall now.
Rock,
Dan

The No Stand Up rule is indeed a byproduct of what New York is like. What New
York is like is a teeming, stenchful sea of guys who want to be stand up
comedians. They travel in packs, they all have observations about pay phones,
and they look for open performance venues the way makos look for WWII submarine
crews. The only open venue I know of that doesn't have a no-stand-up rule is
Reverend Jen's Anti-Slam, which is a good for hours long and possibly the most
excruciating thing I've ever experienced. Keep in mind, these are the guys who
were not good enough for amatuer night, and had to take their business
elsewhere.
But we're not going to actually enforce the rule, because that would be the
editing of content, and that runs counter to everything No Shame is about. It's
just our way of making clear that we'd rather the stand-up guys go somewhere
else. The bottom of the Hudson, for example.
And yes, I did do stand-up when I was about 18. And there's no one more honest
than a reformed criminal.

It is suggested as a replacement solely for the web board, and not for other

but for most things www.noshame.org is still far superior.

Also, New York No Shame in two weeks. Two very short weeks. People should come
to this wonderful thing, and they can sleep on my couch in wonderful Brooklyn,
and drink beer at wonderful Buttermilk Bar three blocks from my house, and run
the risk of seeing me, bleary-eyed and bathed in morning sunlight, stumbling to
