Working on my last nerve…
You might realize – I think I’ve mentioned it somewhere along the line – that I’m currently in graduate school. I’m working on my thesis which will hopefully be finished this semester, granting me my degree.
The thesis in question is going to be a one-man show with a twist (spoiler: It has other actors) based on the life of a fictional burlesque comic. The comic – named Lou Drake – speaks from a burlesque dressing room about his experiences onstage and off.
Lou has his own MySpace page, and now his own vodcast. I’m going to be recording the occasional video giving insight into the development of the piece and maybe trying out some material.
I was hoping to use the MySpace page’s blog capability to post the episodes as they were released, but I’m using Revver to store the videos. And MySpace – in all of Rupert Murdoch’s monopolistic wisdom – has decided that it won’t allow me to embed Revver videos any more. Any time I post the HTML in, it removes everything except the final “embed” tag. Any time I try to link, it cuts out everything except the last few characters of the URL. Same if I just try to post the URL itself. I notice other people posting URL’s without any problem, suggesting that Revver, itself, is verboten.
Anyway – you can still be Lou Drake’s friend, and you can subscribe to the vodcast from Revver.
And as a teaser, here’s the first episode. Note: This episode contains pasties – but with no girl attached. Aren’t they supposed to come with a girl? I must talk this over with my supplier….
