The Origin of “Hipsters”- A immigrants hate for Hippies

I wrote a article about it but it was weird so I deleted it…

Anyways I have fallen back into my ways of not “blogging” or whatever so maybe one day I will re-write the Hipsters thing, until than I just want to let you all know that I have been working with Garrett Jamieson and we have started a new thing called “Acting out Tweets” where we take Tweets and film screen plays form them, they are weird so check them out.

I forgot what I wanted to Blog About BUT I have new stuff coming up

I had this idea I wanted to talk about but I can not remember what it was so I will just let you know that things have been happening and here is a little update:

New Podcast Which is released every Friday thanks to “Pod Almighty”- The Spam Show

New Web series in the making “Garrett and Mark’s THe Project”Image

 

There is a bunch of news on shows which will be updated as the dates get closer,

If I remember what the idea was I will blog and keep you posted. Thanks for reading and see you at some shows or something…

**THIS WHOLE MESSAGE WAS WRITTEN BY MY LEFT HAND** Not to brag or anything but I am a ambidextrous(3 tries) typer. But thats not why I do this, I do this so I can let people know what is going on so my small talk can be cut down. Cause if you think of it all a “Blog” is, is just small talk, no one is changing the world on Word Press. So I will begin the conversation here and when people are like “hey what do you have going on?” I will be like “check the blog”– But after reading this questions should be like  ”hey how was that show you did” or “good luck there, Mark”… So in short blogs are the small talk of the internet, or actually the internet is the small talk of the world…

STAND UP

So this is whats going on, I am currently on a 9 college tour with Comedy Records, that has been amazing so far we are in the East Coast and have done 2 shows already. Venues are crazy and audiences are good. Next week we will be in New Bruinwick and finish off in PEI. Also I entered the World Series of Comedy and got in, so Sept.16th I will be flying from Moncton to Vegas to hopefully get passed a couple rounds, the grand prize is 52 weeks of club work in the States which should be pretty good. I will be staying in a room with Eric Andrews so it should be good either way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOT COMEDY

We have officially launched the club and I could not say thanks enough, the first show was sold out, and the second week was not but the audience’s were there and it was a awesome crowd, we are in our 3 week this week and its our first 4 show weekend, and happy to say we have Rob Mailloux headlining and Mike Rita MCing. We have launched the process we will be doing for comics to get stage time who are not booked on the show, so lets say Ossington will have a couple comics walking about with flyers… The thing that I personally can’t wait for is Sept. 21-22 because that is the day we film the first episodes of The NEW STAND UP COMEDY SHOW that will be filmed for national tv which will have 18 episodes featuring 54 comics and will be filming till about January, the shows will be free for the tapings!!! More info to come soon Twitter: @lotcomedy

FILM/TV

So last year I was in a movie “Picture Day” and I was pumped to hear that it got in this years TIFF and not only that but the movie has been blowing up and is featured in the top 12 must see of Tiff. I myself have never even been to TIFF so I think that a good first appearance would be in a movie there.

Well thanks for reading and hopefully see you at some shows, or something, and remember this whole thing was written left handed, no big deal. Love, Mark

I am an “Organic” righter…

Hey world here is my monthly late blog about something stupid. I have come to terms with the fact that i am a organic writer when it comes to my writing when I say this i mean typing on a computer. I am at the point where i just go with the flow and whatever ends up on paper is what i send out, no spell check no grammar nothing. My reasoning behind this is I can’t edit my words when I talk so i don’t like the fact that i have to do it in an email. This post has been lightly edited so the people who come here can understand it but mark my words this is the last I am going hippy on the computer and flowing baby the shoes are off as of now.

PS- I know about the title, did it to make a point-

Also want to thank everyone that has been supporting shows that I have been producing they have been going well and getting better this month I am on the brink of having a heart attack so if you don’t want to see me die please come out and support and i promise you after this we can all rest…

Twitter Gong Show NXNE

BadFellas Comedy Tour

In other news I am starting a line of clothes called “BitterWare” here is a sample I am in the process now of getting them made so get ready world(these will be checked for spelling)

I hate blogging but want you to look at my web site

I think its pretty obvious that I am not a man of the printed word i feel like blogging is a new way for people to talk and I think we have enough ways as it is (cell phones, videos, paintings and good old fashion talking). I feel like we are creating all these new languages in a way where some people speak them better than others, like text messaging for example, before you had to speak Italian to your friend to trash talk some one in front of you but now, you can all be speaking english and text your friend about how stupid this guys face is and he has no idea. In the end all I am saying is I am still trying to figure out English so until that is good don’t expect me to have  crazy blog about thoughts that I could just tell you in conversation. But please check my site out and what ever else I am doing,

love

Mark
