C’mon, you cant even pretend you don’t want to see this film.
Help them make it!
The Improv Everywhere film is only 5K away from being made BUT it only has 15 hours left to reach it! OH NO!
If you have ever spent 5 minutes being entertained online by one of the many videos that Charlie has organized or creeped on some cuties at the No Pants Subway Ride I urge you to donate a buck or two. Mostly, I am being selfish and would really like to cuddle up with my laptop and give Deadly Women a break and it won’t happen with out your $$$.
$10 will get you a digital copy of the film.
Think of it as a movie ticket purchase… way in advance.
It’s very frustrating to live life after C.J. when people think that I’m like her. I only wish. C.J. is my idol because she was so smart and she always knew the right thing to say at the right time. But that was really Aaron Sorkin coming out of my mouth. That didn’t sound right…
Ha! Love her.

Kickstarters work. Have you ever watched an Improv Everywhere video or read a report? Did it make you smile? We don’t HAVE to put a price on that smile… but if you were going to give money to a project, why not one that has already made you smile.
Patented January 5, 1904, this is the printed patent drawing for a game board invented by Lizzie J. Magie, a variation of which would later become the board game “Monopoly.”
Man, these things… I feel like they never quite worked like they should have, you know?

Richard Avedon’s instructions to his printer for an image taken of coal miner Lyal Burr, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Koosharem, Utah, May 7, 1981.
Some notes from Laura Wilson’s book Avedon at Work. Wilson assisted Avedon for six years:
“The difficult and time-consuming process of making these prints began in the basement darkroom of the Avedon studio in New York. Ruedi and David [Liittscwager] started with a set of 16-by-20 inch prints. Dick rejected them all. He felt that the tone was heavy; they were too black and had too much contrast. In reprinting, Dick’s directions were rarely technical. He would say simply, “Make the person more gentle,” or “Give the face more tension” This unconventional advice forced Ruedi and David to try to Understand the emotional content that Dick sought in each portrait. […] On test prints, Ruedi recorded the necessary manipulations with a red grease pencil. The exposure times, plus or minus, were in seconds to indicate where to darken or lighten an eyelid, or a nose, or the wrinkle on a forehead.”
