grandMA Goes To the Movies with Key Role In "Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian"
Fans of the family comedy "Night at the Museum" are eagerly anticipating next spring's release of the sequel, "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian," which is now in production with a grandMA and grandMA Light on hand. A.C.T Lighting is the exclusive distributor of the grandMA in North America.
"For the past five years the grandMA has been our primary console," reports rigging gaffer Keith Woods citing movie credits for "The Chronicles of Riddick," "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "A Tale of Two Sisters" and "The Santa Claus II." "We've used all models from the grandMA to the grandMA Light and even the Ultra Light."
Tasked with making movie lighting systems work for DOP John Schwartzman and Gaffer Drew Davidson, Woods is currently working on a set for "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" which replicates the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum. Ben Stiller reprises his role as Larry the security guard in the sequel to the hit film which finds the Museum of Natural History closed for renovations and its exhibits in storage at the Smithsonian in Washington.
"grandMA is used to control the movie's conventional and moving lights and do some cueing," Woods explains. "Our rental house, Christie Lites, uses the grandMA, and once again we were in the position to need its fixture capabilities and touchscreens."
Woods has tapped the grandMA "pretty exclusively" since "The Chronicles of Riddick" to control large conventional dimming systems. For that film, one of his Best Boy/Console Operator/Programmers designed a fixture patch for spacelights and KinoFlo Image 80s that enabled the grandMA to control them via the touchscreen.
"We have six circuits of dimming for the spacelights and eight circuits of data for KinoFlo Image 80s, which we can operate from the touchscreen rather than keying in by hand," he notes. "Thanks to the touchscreen and fixture-patch capabilities we can do everything much faster. We can make changes quickly and don't need channel numbers."
As the grandMA continues to compile feature-film credits it's clear that Woods is a fan of the system. "We like it. It's been pretty consistent," he says. "We first used the grandMA for additional universes, then we saw how easy to use it could be. So grandMAs are back in the movies again."
"I continue to be amazed at where grandMAs are being used. Movie lighting has really come a long way in regards to lighting control, and we are so proud to be involved. Of course, I will look at the movie in a very different way, and I cannot wait to see it," comments A.C.T Lighting president and CEO Bob Gordon.
On "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" Todd Martin was the grandMA console operator with Jason McKinnon, Phil Klapwyk and Sean Oxenbury the programmers.

In 1992, the Native American writer and activist Suzan Harjo became a lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Washington Redskins football organization.
In 1932, George Preston Marshall bought the Boston Braves team and renamed them the Washington Redskins. At the time, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defined the word "Redskin" as offensive and in the same ballpark as words like "darky," "kike" and "dago."
An article by Michael Tomasky in November 2011 titled the "Racist Redskins" describes how Mr. Marshall was the last NFL owner to integrate his team, only after years of heavy resistance and only because of government pressure.
So I suppose the current controversy going on today regarding the team's name is business as usual.

When all's said and done, it turns out to be quite sweet-natured. OK. I laughed. So sue me.
The sight and sound of Lawrence in fat-lady drag remains engaging throughout; script may often let him down, forcing him to keep things afloat almost single-handedly.
Any movie that employs an oven mitt and a plumber's friend in a childbirth scene cannot be all bad, and I laughed a lot.

Former race car driver Merle Bettenhausen will serve as the grand marshal in New Haven's 500 parade April 28.
Bettenhausen will meet and greet the crowd and conduct an autograph session in Schnelker Park after the 11 a.m. parade. Bettenhausen's father was Indianapolis 500 and sprint car legend Tony Bettenhausen, and his brother was former champion car team owner, Tony Bettenhausen Jr. Merle Bettenhausen was badly injured in a racing accident early in his career.
The event is part of the city's participation in the Back Home Again in Indiana community decoration contest, commemorating the Indianapolis 500 race. More than 200 cities and towns entered the contest last year, with New Haven chosen as one of the top ten finalists. The winner was Brownstown.
The decoration contest is judged by a celebrity panel that includes Indianapolis 500 drivers and Hoosier celebrities. The winner receives $20,000 from the Indiana Motor Speedway to use on a community project.
New Haven officials hope to win and use the prize money to complete the Veterans' Memorial in Schnelker Memorial Park.
Opening ceremonies will include a special military tribute by Col. David Augustine, commander of the 122nd Fighter Wing, the presentation of flags by the Air Force Honor Guard and a military flyover. New Haven Mayor Terry McDonald will then wave the green flag and start the parade at the corner of Broadway and Main streets.
In addition to Bettenhausen, the parade will feature classic Indy race cars including Arie Luyendyk's car, a 1961 roadster and many more vintage vehicles.
Spectators are encouraged to wave checkered flags during the parade, which will be videotaped as part of the contest entry.
Other events include a car show and cornhole tournament. All proceeds from the day's events will go toward the Veterans Memorial

With a unanimous vote, it was official. The ban on recreational marijuana sales in La Plata County was lifted.
"I'm happy that it's going though in southwestern Colorado," said Zach McManus, a prospective recreational pot licensee.
McManus was on hand Tuesday to see the vote by the La Plata county commission, enacting the new ordinance governing the recreational marijuana industry.
"I think they have seen that there have not been a lot of problems in the industry and everything is moving forward in a professional manner and I think that is a positive thing for the community."
He plans to apply for a license to sell recreational marijuana, but he says it's not just about the money.
"It is good to see this working on a more basic scale where anyone has access to it and it's not something you need a doctor's recommendation or a specific medical condition to receive the benefits from," he said.
Right now, he says that the social stigma is one of the biggest hurdles in the industry.
"It's going to take time to get over the reputation that it has had attached to it for a long time, I think people are coming around quite quickly, especially with crime statistics and economic statistics, I think people's minds are changing even quicker than they thought they would."
The ordinance goes into effect 30 days from Wednesday. At that time, license applications will be accepted. Prospective licensees will be required to so through two hearings which can take no longer than a year from the date of application before the license will be issued.

Rick Ross - Supreme
Artist: Rick Ross
Producer: Scott Storch
Album: Mastermind
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 4 votes )
Often artists (and their labels) will complain that the shelf life of a full-length body of work is too short, but few actually take the time to work multiple records off of a project before moving on to a new release. Not Rick Ross. Following the album's last single, Thug Cry, the MMG boss has decided to roll out Supreme as the latest record from his March release, Mastermind. Featuring floss-worthy production from fellow Floridian Scott Storch, as well as guest vocals from 90's R&B star Keith Sweat, Supreme reads like almost every single Rick Ross single selection to date: braggadocios, brash, cocksure and arrogant. Repeat customers, dig in.
Update: We have added the DRE Films-directed visuals for Rick Ross' Supreme single.

I think that Jurassic Kog'Maw should spit dirt instead of the goo, it would make it more Jurassic-Like and a lot cooler.
Anybody agree?

APNewsBreak: FEMA denies aid to Texas for blast

The federal government has already supplied 75% funding to support INDIVIDUALS of the blast of West Texas. However, it is really IRONIC that the governor of Texas is now criticizing the President for "not giving West Texas" more funds, when the SAME governor said while he was campaigning for the presidency that he felt the US government was too over reaching, too over spending, and that he would like to secede from the union. Further, the REPUBLICAN congressional members who now are whining about no funds for Texas are the SAME hypocrites who voted to NOT FUND the MILLIONS of folks in New Jersey and New York who are STILL struggling from the after effects of Hurricane Sandy. They cited that the federal government just doesn't have the money for that.
The thing that really chaps my hide is this:
Under George W. Bush's watch in Texas, when he was governor, this plant was in violation of safety and EPA standards, yet NOTHING was ever done about it on a state level to protect the people and their homes. On RIck Perry's watch, the same.
Further, Texas does not require businesses such as these to carry liability insurance. I guess that is too "big brother-ish" for the uber conservative legislature.
I am all for FEMA supporting victims of natural disasters. I am not so sure I am for the taxpayers bailing out a community \ state that did nothing to stop this from happening.
How IRONIC the Republicans who holler "socialism" at every turn when the US government subsidizes programs for the poor, homeless, or elderly, but do not see anything wrong with asking the same government to re-build their town because that's EASIER than going after CEO's and big business owner's and make them be accountable for their actions.
I would like to see Governor Goodhair Perry confront the owners of the plant, the state agencies who failed to follow through on their inspections, and himself for not putting his own boot down.
It won't happen, of course. It is the Republican way to completely dismantle government agencies through defunding, even ones Perry can't remember, and then complain when they need a helping hand.
The lack of oversight is GLARINGLY obvious. IT's too bad for the folks in West Texas, and that they had to take the brunt of this.
I am glad FEMA is helping individual folks. THey at least are getting more than the folks in New York and New Jersey got.
Until people begin to see that we are ALL AMERICANS, and not just a select few get to have free medical care for life, a government subsidized retirement system, and access to perks one can only imagine, this will never change.
For a party to stand up and declare themselves against government invasiveness, and refuse to fund health care clinics for the poor under the guise that they are "socialism", only proves what hypocrites they are now.
SUCK IT UP RICK! You put the people in WEST TEXAS in the middle of your stupid ideology. How's that seceding working out for ya??

Your Unofficial Guide to Enjoying the Funny or Die Oddball Comedy Festival
Funny or Die has announced and put tickets on sale for their second annual summer Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival!
You can visit the official Funny or Die website here.
My wife and I have attended the festival the last two years at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA and we had a fantastic time. However, before we attended, I went on the Facebook page and the official site for a little information because there were some confusing aspects to the event. It was very hard trying to find the answers to these questions.
After the event, I was posting on social media about what a fantastic time we had, and I noticed that there were people posting negative things about the event. I can honestly say that a good portion of these negative posts were the result of people not understanding the event at all before they came.
So, I thought I would post this little guide in case people are curious about or confused about the Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival.
A few things I need to make clear:
This article is based on my experience at the 2013 and 2014 Funny or Die Oddball Curiosity and Comedy Festival, which I attended at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA. I am not related to, nor do I have any inside track on how the festival is coordinated. There have been changes from year to year and may be in the future.
I am writing about the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA, which is a large outdoor concert amphitheater venue. Every venue has its own characterstics, rules, layout and logistics. However, perusing the schedule I see that most of the venues on the tour are indeed, very similar outdoor amphitheater stages. They even look very similar when you pull up pictures of them on the web.
So, with those things in mind, here is an article to help you have a great time at the Funny or Die Oddball Festival!
1. Not All the Comedians Listed on the Main Website Are Performing At Every Show
Beside each venue listed on the main website, there is a little button that says "details." Click that button and it will give you the lineup for your city. Many, many people seem to purchase tickets thinking that they will see all of those comedians listed on that big slate.
Also, keep in mind that changes will happen during the tour. A comedian may have to bow out of your show, but another comedian will take their place. As you can see from the lineups, the Funny or Die folks are committed to bringing the best comics to the festival. If somebody has to drop out, they most likely will get a real solid replacement.
2. This Is A Festival Event, Not a Comedy Club Show or a Theatrical Show.
These are massive venues that usually host music festivals and large outdoor summer concerts. This is not a small, intimate evening of comedy, where waitstaff come to your tables and bring you drinks. When you want your beer or nachos, you are heading out to the concession stand just as if you were at a ballgame. And other people will be doing the same thing, so yes, people will be walking around, getting out of their seats and heading to the bathroom during a comic's set. Planes will sometimes fly over and you will hear fire trucks in the distance.
For some reason, this aspect seems to throw many, many people for a loop. Many comedy fans understandably are not used to seeing comics in this setting, but it really is a unique and wonderful way to see these great comics perform. There is nothing like communal laughter, and laughing heartily with thousands of people is an experience that is like none other!
3. Do Not Even Think About Using Your Phone or Camera During the Show
There will be warning signs placed all around the venue: At the entrance, on the doors to the bathroom stalls on the large screens inside the venue. Everywhere. These signs are really hard to miss. And if you have missed them, they announce it constantly between acts and before the show. These signs and audio announcements will tell you they have a zero tolerance policy for cell phone use and recording during the show.
Please take these warnings seriously. And I mean that. Do not even pull out your phone to check the time while a comedian is on stage. You will be ejected. They have staff constantly roaming the aisles and they will remove you immediately. I've seen this happen to people during the show. And guess what, nobody will feel sorry for you, because they have told you 500 times to not do it. In fact, the other audience members will be annoyed at you because you are now causing a disruption while you are removed.
This policy is good news though. You are enjoying the comedy without seeing thousands of glowing screens in front of you.
4. What Time Does It Start? My Tickets Say 5:00PM, But I See Other Places Indicate 7:00PM. Are There Two Shows? Do I need to buy a separate ticket to the see the 7PM show?
This aspect seems to cause the most confusion for people attending the festival, but it's really pretty simple.
As I said above, you have to look at this as a festival, not a movie or a theatrical performance.
Your one ticket gets you into everything: the oddities shows, the second stage show and the Mainstage show.
So, here is how you interpret the different times you are seeing.
First, you need to understand the layout and logistics of the festival and venues. I'll use the example of the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA.
There are Main Gates to the venue. This is where you will have your ticket scanned and you will be searched for anything you are not allowed to bring in to the venue.
Once you are inside of the Main Gates, think of the venue as being divided into two sections.
A. The Mainstage. This is the main theater area, an outdoor amphitheater where your ticketed seating and the stage is located.
B. The Concourse. Outside of Mainstage is a large outdoor area with concession and beer stands along with restrooms and souveiner shops. If you want to compare this to a traditional theater, think of this as the lobby, only much larger and outdoors.
5:00PM is the time the Main Gates to the venue will open.
Once you enter the main gates you will be in the Concourse area and there will lots of side show performers and oddities to see, along with different food carts and things. Think of this kind of like attending a fair or carnival, but without rides.
The Second Stage will also be located somewhere on the Concourse. A slate of local comedians will start performing on this stage at about 5:20PM, hosted by Brody Stevens the past two years. This stage is outdoors and there is no seating for this stage. This Second Stage show runs until almost 6:50PM.
Note: The Mainstage area, where your ticketed seat is, will usually not be open right at 5:00PM. The doors to the Mainstage area will open closer to 7PM (In our case around 6:30PM.)
7:00PM is the start of the Mainstage show. These are the big name comedians listed on the website.
In talking to patrons last year, all these details seemed to result in much confusion. I talked to people who arrived at 5PM and got pissed that they had to wait two hours in the Concourse area until 7PM until the Mainstage show started. And then I talked to just as many people who were pissed that they had come for a 7PM start and had completely missed the oddities and the Second Stage show.
5. Find the Second Stage!
To get the most for your comedy dollars, find where the Second Stage is located as soon as you enter the Main Gates. At the Xfinity Center in Mansfield it was tucked off into a picnic area off to the side of the main concourse. Many patrons I talked to later in the night were a little upset that they hadn't taken it in because they didn't even know it was there.
There are really funny local comics performing on this stage. In fact, I saw two of them open for much larger acts later in the year.
6. Even If You Are Only Interested in the Mainstage Acts, Get There Early.
I've already pointed out that these venues are massive outdoor concert halls, which means a lot of patrons, which means a lot of traffic.
If you think you are going to roll up to the venue at 6:45 and stroll in for the 7:00PM start, you are sorely, sorely mistaken. What you will run into is literally thousands of cars trying to do the same thing you are. And you will most likely be parking in a lot a long way from the venue. You will have to walk to the venue and then stand in a physical line with all of the other people trying to do the same thing you are, and you will then maybe take your seat around 8:15 PM (if you're lucky), having missed a bunch of the comics already.
I talked to several patrons last year you had this happen to them.
7. It's a Festival! Avoid the Traffic, Get There Early, Park and Chill Out With Other Comedy Fans.
Your venue's website or Facebook page should let you know when the parking lot officially opens. Usually this will be a couple of hours ahead of the Main Gates opening time. For the Oddball Festival, the gates open at 5:00PM, so shoot to arrive at the parking lot around 4PM, bring some lawn chairs, some soda, some tunes and some sandwiches. Treat it like a concert and hang out with the other fans who will be there early as well.
Notice that I haven't used the word tailgating, even though that seems to be exactly what I am describing. This is because different events, venues, counties and cities each have specific rules about tailgating and/or the consumption of alcohol on their lots.
I doubt many of these venues are against people chilling out with lawn chairs frisbees and snacks, but they might not want grills and beer. So please check with the venue on what is allowed.
Fill up on food and hydrate before you enter the park because.....
8. Concession Prices are Apocalyptic and the Lines Are Long
You are going to be paying about $5.00 for a small bottle of water and about $9-$11 for a beer. Food is expensive as well and it is typical ballpark/carnival food.
You may think this is a "no duh" type of warning, but understand that this is a long evening. You are going to be there for many hours. Bring some extra cash in case you want a soda or a hot dog.
I've been to many outdoor concert venues around the country and I can never understand this, but I've just accepted that the lines are interminable, even to just get a hot dog.
There are a couple of intermissions during the Mainstage show, don't for a second think that you will be able to procure your pizza and beer during the intermission. If you really want something, leave to get it while an act is onstage. You'll still wait, but it will be much more civilized.
9. Know Your Venue's Cooler and Water Policy
Outdoor concert venues know that part of the fun is treating it like an outdoor event and most will allow you to bring in a small, soft cooler. Once again, SMALL and SOFT. The venue will have very specific guidelines on this, look them up. These are great to put a few sandwiches, some fruit and snacks into.
The Xfinity Center in Mansfield allowed this in 2013. The only food item I purchased during the festival was a large soft drink. (And yes, I waited in a long line for it.) However, in 2014 NO FOOD OR BEVERAGE INCLUDING WATER was allowed in.
Some venues will also allow you to bring in one regular-sized bottle of water that is unopened. Check with your venue to see what the policy is on this. Don't assume. If the rules don't allow it, they'll make you toss the bottles at the Main Gate.
10. You Really Get Your Money's Worth - But It's A Late Night
This is especially important for anybody who is arranging for a babysitter. Last year, our show ended at just about 11:00PM. That is when Dave Chapelle finished his set.
When I read other people posting reviews and talking about the event online, I saw that this was pretty consistent through all of the dates.
So, if you are hiring a babysitter or having a relative take care of the tykes, don't have the expectation that you are going to be home at 10 or 11. You most likely will get home well after midnight, since you will have to get out of the parking lot with the thousands of other people leaving at the same time.
11. How Does the Mainstage Line-Up Work, When Are Certain Comedians Performing and for How Long?
This seems to be the number one question on the Oddball Facebook page, (aside from people asking why a certain comedian is not on the slate for their particular city.)
The actual order of performers will be up to the festival. I will tell you how the lineup worked for us in Mansfield, MA the last two years:
Dave Chapelle and Flight of the Conchords were the headline acts. Then there were four other well-known comedians like Al Madrigal, Hannibal Burris and Kristen Schall.
7:15PM Comedian Jeff Ross took the stage and did a little introduction and some comedy. He was the host for the evening. He introduced each of the comedians and they would come out and do about 20 minutes each. This portion of the show lasted until about 8:30PM.
8:50PM-9:50PM Headliner #1 Flight of the Conchords took to the stage. They performed for about an hour or so.
10:00PM - 11:00PM Headliner #2 Dave Chapelle performed. He performed for just about one whole hour. I think I remember he ended the set at almost exactly 10:59PM.
7:00PM Brody Stevens took the stage and hosted the following comedians:
7:05PM Brent Morin
7:20PM Jerrod Carmichael
7:35PM Chris D'Elias
7:50PM Hannibal Burress
8:15-8:45PM Intermission
8:45PM Sarah Silverman
9:10PM Dave Attell
9:30PM Amy Shumer
9:55PM Louis C.K.
Louis C.K. finished at about 10:40PM and then the night is over.
As you can see, the flow of the evening is very different from year to year. This year it was very fast and furious. You are seeing a lot of big names, but not for long sets.
12. The Cheaper Your Seats, the Farther Away You Will Be, And I Mean Really Far
I know this seems like common sense, but, as I have said, these are large venues. If you opt for lawn seating, or the cheap seats, the comedians will look really small on the stage.
But don't worry, these venues are equipped with very large jumobtron video screens and excellent amplification. You'll see and hear your favorite comedians from every angle. Bring a small pair of binoculars if you want to get an up-close glimpse of them.
13. Lawn Seating is General Admission and Full of Different Types of Characters
We sat on the lawn one year and had a great time. But we prepared beforehand. Here are some things to know if your venue has lawn seating.
a. Lawn seating is the cheapest, but it is really far from the actual stage.
b. Most venues DO NOT allow you to bring chairs for the lawn seating. So bring a blanket to spread out on.
c. Lawn seating is almost always general admission, so you don't own any particular real estate. If you have a good spot, just realize that as the show fills up, people will start to really crowd the area you have staked out for yourself. Just chill out and accept it.
d. Scope out your neighbors while you are waiting for the show to begin. If they are assholes and annoying before the show starts, they are not going to quit once the show does start. Move away from these jerks or you will regret it. Don't wait until after it gets dark to try and find another place to settle down.
14. Prepare for The Elements
Three things to remember about the Oddball Comedy Festival:
1.) The venue is outdoors.
2.) The event is performed rain or shine.
3.) It takes place over many hours.
I've already explained how the gates open at 5PM and the last comedian finishes at 11PM, right?
Well, think about that for a second. That is six hours! Not only that, but it is six hours going from daylight into dusk, then into evening, and then full on into night. The temperature can change quite a bit during that time, so I would consult the weather report and bring some layers accordingly.
One year, we were slathering on sunscreen at 5PM and then throwing on our light fleeces and cuddling up under a blanket at 9PM. There were definitely some other audience members who were under-dressed for the evening temperatures and they were shivering quite a bit by the end.
At these venues there is an overhang that will protect most of the higher-priced ticket buyers from rain, but if you are on the lawn, or in uncovered seating, you really need to bring some rain gear if there is any significant chance of precipitation. My suggestion is to purchase a really good poncho rather than just a raincoat. A quality poncho will keep you really dry, but you won't feel like you are getting rained on.
Remember, even if your seat is technically under the overhang, yet close to the edge, if there is wind and rain blowing in a certain direction you may find yourself getting just as wet as the uncovered audience members.
DON'T BOTHER WITH AN UMBRELLA. They will take it away at the Main Gate, and even if you somehow do get it in, and you try to use in the Main theater area they will confiscate it, but not before the audience members behind you start yelling at you because they can't see.
Be strategic packing your clothing and gear. Venues have specific bag and cooler policies. Some don't allow backpacks, so you might be carrying your fleece or rain poncho in hand. A good solution is cargo shorts with big side pockets that you can slide a folded poncho into. If your venue allows a soft cooler, these usually have an extra pocket or two you can make use of.
15. Understand The Parking Situation
This is not like going to a movie theater, or a local comedy club or even a regional theater to see a Broadway touring show.
This is more like attending an arena concert or a professional sporting event. For instance, the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA is 12,000 capacity. To give you a comparison: a large theater that would have a comedian like Louis CK usually has a capacity of somewhere around 1,000.
Lots of people means lots and lots of cars. There are usually acres of parking lots at these venues. You will not choose where you park, you will be directed by parking lot attendants.
Here are some things to remember:
a.)The later you arrive, the further away you will be parked from the venue.
b.) Like anything in life, the closer you get to the start time, the more traffic there will be.
c.) You will arrive during daylight, but return to your car at night. Make note of where you are parked.
d.) Everybody will be leaving at the same time. There will be a lot of traffic leaving the lots and a long wait to get out. If it is imperative that you be home early, then leave the show early. That is all there is to it.
e.) Make sure you have a full tank of gas, because it could take like an hour or more to get out of the parking lot. I'm serious. It could possibly take that long.
16. Get the Premiere Parking. For the Love of God, Get the Premiere Parking!
Some venues offer some type of preferred, VIP, or Premiere parking option. This is usually purchased in addition to your ticket. For example, at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA it is called Premiere Parking and it is an extra $40.00. You can purchase Premiere Parking no matter where your tickets in the venue are. These premium parking offers usually allow you a dedicated lane entering the venue parking lots along with a lot closer to the venue.
Most importantly, Premiere Parking offers you a dedicated exit lane when you are leaving at the end of the night. This is worth the $40.00 alone.
Note: There are still a lot of people leaving the Premiere lot, so you will still have a short wait, but it will be nothing compared to the hellish snarl of traffic leaving the regular lots.
Contact your venue to find out if there is premiere parking available for purchase and get it today!
17. Have Fun!
The Oddball Fest really is a great time, and it is unique in that you get to see a ton of comedy with a lot of fellow comedy lovers.
I hope this answers some people's questions about the event.
Once again: This is based on my and other's experiences at the 2013 and 2014 Oddball Festivals, along with my experiences going to outdoor concerts and festivals.
Lineups may change and shuffle around. I would highly recommend liking the Oddball Festival's official Facebook page, as they tend to keep you updated somewhat on last minutes replacements or schedule changes.
Always check with your venue for their specific regulations, rules and policies.

Come and Knock on Our Door! - But Slide the Summons Underneath
|Joyce DeWitt, John Ritter and Suzanne Somers
in Three's Company
He spent a lot of time writing a play, a dark satire of a well-known sitcom of the 1970's. The play even received a New York production off-Broadway at the Rattlestick Theatre. The reviews were mixed, but enough on the positive side to secure at least a few well-placed regional productions, right?
The New York Times reports:
You can read the complaint here.
I haven't seen or read Mr. Adjmi's play, but images from the production are striking in how closely they resemble the actual show it is supposedly parodying. Of course, that doesn't mean that 3C isn't fair use.
However, it is actually very difficult to predict the outcome of these cases based on precedent. When reading through many famous parody/fair use decisions, it becomes obvious that judges really take it on a case by case basis.
The court applies many different tests and takes many avenues of inquiry into the parody defense. Questions that come into play:
1. Is it parody or satire?
2. Is the target of the parody the original work, or is it a broader commentary on society?
3. Is the new work transformative?
4. In the case of trademark infringement, would there be confusion in the mind of consumers?
It's tough to say what a judge might think, especially if DLT Entertainment can prove that they themselves are on the verge of launching a live theatrical show of Three's Company, sort of in the mode of the long-running Real Live Brady Bunch from the 1990's.
As the curtain was coming down on that initial production, the playwright received a cease and desist letter from DLT Entertainment, the original rights holders of Three's Company, which is the aforementioned 70's sitcom that was skewered in 3C, Adjmi's play.
Now, months later, the writer of 3C is petitioning the courts to allow at least the publication of 3C in an anthology of his work.
In a 20-page complaint, which was accompanied by supportive comments from acclaimed theater artists like Jon Robin Baitz, Tony Kushner and Stephen Sondheim, Mr. Adjmi asked the Southern District Court of New York to declare that "3C" does not infringe on the copyright of "Three's Company," which ran from 1977 to 1984 and remains in syndication. Mr. Adjmi's lawyers, citing the First Amendment and the legal doctrine of fair use, argue that "3C" is an original parody that only borrows some elements from the sitcom to examine its premise, character types, and homophobia and sexism in that era.
You can read the complaint here.
I haven't seen or read Mr. Adjmi's play, but images from the production are striking in how closely they resemble the actual show it is supposedly parodying. Of course, that doesn't mean that 3C isn't fair use.

Critical Defense Posture
Just a few weeks ago, we had one of the old lions, retired New Yorker Critic John Lahr, assailing the younger generation of print critics. His hyperventilating turned out to be extraordinarily wheezy though.
This week, Howlround,( the online journal for the Theater Commons at Emerson,) has solicited some pieces from several critics and artists about criticism and journalism in the theater.
Rob Weinert-Kendt starts off with an essay about the parallel circumstances of the critic and the theater artist:
I refer also to the grittier, less exalted ways in which theater critics are as much like theater artists as to be indistinguishable as a class: the meager pay, the struggle for recognition, the dwindling audiences and disproportionate power of a few make-or-break gatekeepers, the sense in which one is stuck with a habit as hard to shake as it is difficult to explain to outsiders, who tend to imagine what you do as either glamorous fun or corrupt, frivolous nonsense, but never honest work.
There's a deeper affinity, and it's rooted in the fact that critics and theater artists literally share the same workplace for the most important part of their jobs. Glance again at that hypothetical list above—of miserable, ecstatic, and mediocre theater experiences, and of various ways to respond—and consider that the true critic feels called, duty bound, and, if they're lucky, contractually expected to respond publicly, and in more detail than most of us ever will, even with shrinking word counts, to all three kinds of shows, and many more varieties besides. If that sounds hard—on the soul, on the brain, on the ass—it is. And if it is not nearly as brave or as arduous as making or performing theater—jobs with as much grind and obligation to them as inspiration and gratification—it is hard work when done well, and it is no more a job for just anyone than are acting or playwriting. We all may have felt the critical impulse, but no, not everyone is a critic.
Wendy Rosenfield dispels the persistent myth that a critic couldn't possibly want to be a critic. And she proudly states that theater knows it needs critics:
Without that critical assessment, without critics going on record to champion a playwright, performer, or movement—or conversely, without critics opening up a can of whoop-ass on a show they despise and occasionally receiving a bigger one in return—would theater retain even its peripheral position in our culture? No way. Not even if it's a review of your city's 10,000th touring performance of Nunsense. It's a critic's job to compare and contrast, to examine the spaces in between those performances, to see where they intersect with our lives and where they diverge, and to keep this ephemeral living art form among us a little longer by recording what happened onstage, while challenging audience passivity in the bargain.
And yet criticism, which by now should have evolved from a one-sided conversation (and we critics all know colleagues who are so accustomed to spouting opinions unchallenged that every "conversation" becomes a monologue) to a full-fledged back-and-forth between audience and critic, still drags its knuckles.
Dominic Taylor, Associate Artistic Director of America-in-Play, points out that poor critics might not be able to accurately assess a work's primary goals:
The dangerous thing about critics examining any work, then, is not the authority that they have over a work, but their individual and collective potential to conflate an audience. This conflation is most problematic when they assume that the primary function, and the primary audience, of all artists is the same. There are ways in which the aesthetics of this understanding can be made clear—even within the one work of one playwright, these factors can shift. I might go so far as to say that the primary audience for August Wilson's Jitney is different than the primary audience for his Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and that difference might be a reason why one of the plays has landed on Broadway twice, while the other play never has.
John Moore, the former Denver Post theater critic, assures us all that if you didn't like the old way of doing things, just wait until you get a load of the new way. He exposes a strange new network in Colorado in which arts organizations actually pay reviewers to review their plays. Then he goes on to point out the reality of the life of an online critic:
Two things the new generation of self-starting blogger critics have in common: Almost none of them are paid anything close to gas money to write about theater. And, perhaps coincidentally—perhaps not—what they write is almost always insufferably, uselessly positive. Some do it for love. Some just want to cheerlead for the community, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. Some hope it leads to bigger and better-paid writing gigs. But where are those gigs, exactly? Who is paying anyone a living wage to write about theater anywhere? No one, in part because there is no demand from consumers that "The Man" do so.
Speaking of, who is "The Man" anymore, anyway? The Examiner? The Huffington Post? Those are newfangled networks of web sites that publish articles by citizen journalists who are paid next to nothing.
On Thursday, April 4th, Howlround will be initiating a Twitter discussion on this subject using the hashtag #newplay. Details here.

Croom's breakthrough season meaningful for many
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The Mississippi State locker room was dripping with emotion on Nov. 23, the kind of raw emotion that knows no boundaries.
Left for dead -- much like the program when Sylvester Croom took over as the SEC's first black head coach in 2004 -- the Bulldogs rallied from 14 points down in the fourth quarter to ensure their first winning season and first bowl trip since 2000.
"Those last 10 minutes changed this program forever and they changed those young men's lives forever," Croom reflected recently as he sipped on a soft drink inside his office at the Bryan Athletic Administration Building.
"Until you come back in the fourth quarter to win a football game, you don't know what kind of team you are. It's the same way in life. Until you're down and things are going against you, you don't know what kind of person you are until you face that adversity and bounce back.
"They know now that you don't quit no matter what. It might cross your mind. It's only natural that it crosses your mind. But you never quit, and that's not a football lesson. That's a life lesson."
And a lesson that was drilled into Croom's head incessantly while he played for the legendary Paul W. "Bear" Bryant at Alabama.
It's one of the myriad things that were swimming through Croom's head that Nov. 23 afternoon as he gathered his team around him for the prayer. Normally, the team chaplain led the Bulldogs in the postgame prayer. But this time, it was Croom, the son of a minister and the architect of one of college football's most heartwarming turnarounds.
"You could just feel what he was saying, and it got to all of us the players, the coaching staff, everybody," recounted Mississippi State offensive coordinator Woody McCorvey, who's known Croom for 25 years and was hand-picked by his friend to help revive a Mississippi State program that had been rocked by NCAA sanctions and sundry other off-field issues.
Only minutes earlier, Croom had been too overcome with emotion to do the postgame television interview. He recovered to take a few laps around the field carrying the giant Mississippi State flag.
But as he started to address his team inside the locker room, he nearly lost it again.
"His speech was the most heartfelt, surreal moment in our time here, and the joy Coach Croom displayed in his tears and his words is something many will always remember," said Brad Pendergrass, Croom's coordinator of football operations. "It was a true representation of who Sylvester Croom is."
The whole scene also tugged at the heart of outgoing Mississippi State athletic director Larry Templeton, the man who had the guts to hire Croom and stood staunchly behind him during the lean times those first three years, when the Bulldogs never won more than three games and lost to the likes of Maine, Tulane, UAB and Houston.
Croom: Bama was 'token' interview
Upon further review, Sylvester Croom doesn't think he ever had a legitimate shot at the Alabama head coaching job when he interviewed at his alma mater prior to the 2003 season. He lost out to Mike Shula and says now that he was a "token" interview.
"That's all it was. I never had a chance for that job. I heard some things later that only reinforced that," Croom said. "But I sucked up my pride and went. It was my school. I felt like I needed to do that for Coach Bryant but I was never getting that job. I do think I had a lot of support from my former teammates, the guys I played with there, but not the people who were making the decision."
Croom insists he's not bitter about it, because he thinks being a finalist for the Alabama job paved the way for him a year later at Mississippi State.
"Looking back, I'm still glad I did it, because it probably got my name out there in the head coaching circle," Croom said.
When he looks around at who's getting interviewed and who's getting hired, Croom isn't holding his breath that there will be another black head coach in the SEC during the next decade.
"Let's just say this: I'm not nearly as optimistic as some people," Croom said.
-- Chris Low
"It was one of those special moments. It was more than just a football game."
Likewise, this is more than just a bowl trip.
It's only fitting that Croom's breakthrough into the postseason as the Bulldogs' coach will come Saturday in the Liberty Bowl, 25 years to the date after Bryant coached his last game in the very same bowl and died at age 69 less than a month later. That historic 21-15 victory over Illinois in the 1982 Liberty Bowl still resonates with Croom.
He was on the sideline for that game as one of Bryant's assistant coaches and was an All-America center under Bryant a decade earlier, when he was also one of the first five black players at Alabama when Bryant began integrating the program in the early 1970s.
To this day, two men continue to have a profound impact on the way Croom lives his life and the way he coaches and molds players: his late father, Sylvester Croom Sr., and Bryant.
"The two most important men in my life were my father and Coach Bryant," said Croom, whose mother, Louise, is still living and resides in Tuscaloosa, Ala. "Every day of my life, whether I'm on that field or anywhere else, I'm trying to measure up.
"They're still with me in so many ways."
The neat irony of Croom's Bulldogs (7-5) being in Memphis for the 25th anniversary of Bryant's last game isn't lost on anybody, especially the Bryant family.
After Mississippi State beat Alabama for the second straight season on Nov. 10, Bryant's son and one of the Crimson Tide's most influential boosters, Paul Bryant Jr., sent Croom a note congratulating him and telling him how special it would be if Mississippi State wound up playing in Memphis.
"I've really enjoyed the success he's had, other than against Alabama," Bryant said with a throaty chuckle, sounding very much like his dad. "I don't want to sound corny, but I pulled for them against everybody but us. He coaches the same way Papa did. There's a lot more to it than just football. His teams don't quit, and they go about it with class. But the life experience part is what sticks out."
Bryant, not above needling Croom a bit, didn't hesitate to dial up the pressure meter.
"Tell him to be sure to win the game," he quipped. "I congratulate him for getting in it, but he needs to win it."
The truth is that Croom's whole life has been about pressure.
Being one of the first black players to play at Alabama was pressure enough, not to mention growing up in segregated Tuscaloosa. Then came the burden of making sure that Bryant went out a winner 25 years ago, when Illinois was driving late in that game.
"I'm not sure they would have let any of us back in the state had we lost," Croom joked. "That was a game we all knew we had to win."
All that pales in comparison, though, to the pressure of being the first black head coach in the SEC and essentially having to start from scratch. Not only was Mississippi State about to go on NCAA probation after winning a total of four league games the previous three years, but the Bulldogs were at the bottom of the barrel (among the 11 public institutions in the SEC) in terms of dollars being spent on football.
"But what I finally decided was that I wasn't going to get caught up in proving that a minority could do this job. I was going to prove that I could do this job, and everything else would take care of itself."
Initially, Croom told Templeton no thanks when the Mississippi State athletic director began courting him for the job. Croom had been an NFL assistant for 15 years and knew the task of rebuilding Mississippi State was a monumental undertaking.
"We didn't just need somebody to turn the program around, but we needed somebody like Coach Croom to come in and change the way people think about Mississippi State," said senior defensive end Titus Brown, an All-SEC performer.
"Mississippi State football was known for two things: drugs and thugs. That's one of the first things he told us, that you represent your family and you represent this university. If you embarrass either, you're not going to be here. There weren't any exceptions, and there still aren't.
"Those people who bought in thrived, and those who didn't are no longer with us."
Templeton thinks Croom is a year ahead of where he thought he would be at this point. Croom, in earning SEC Coach of the Year honors, won three of his last four games to get the Bulldogs into a bowl. It's also the first time since 1998 that they beat Alabama, Auburn and Ole Miss all in the same season.
"People just don't know how hard a climb it was and what Sylvester had to overcome," Templeton said. "He's never wavered."
As he looks back on it, Croom isn't sure he would have taken the job had it not been for the advice of one of his closest friends in coaching, the late Milt Jackson, a veteran wide receivers coach in the NFL who died of a heart attack two years ago.
"I wasn't going to do it, and Milt just told me that I had to," Croom recounted. "He said, 'Sylvester, for whatever reason, you've been chosen. If you don't take this job, it might be another 30 years before a black man gets a head coaching job in the SEC.'"
Determined to do it his way, Croom was scoffed at by some long-time Mississippi State fans and boosters who urged him to cheat.
"I heard people say you can't win in this state, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, unless you're buying players," Croom said. "That may be the way some people have done it, but I don't believe that. I actually had an alumnus come up to me and say, 'I like you. I like what you stand for. But if you're not paying players, you're never going to win and you're not going to be here very long.'
"I'll never be a part of that, and nobody on my staff will. I can promise you that. If I ever hear of any player involved in any situation where he was bought, I'll go to him myself, and if it's true, I'll go to the NCAA and turn ourselves in.
"I want to win, and we're going to do everything we possibly can to win. But we're not going to win that way."
Croom knows unequivocally what a win over Central Florida would do for his program heading into the offseason. The Bulldogs have some real momentum for the first time since Croom took over and want to keep that momentum. The Mississippi State fans undoubtedly feel it. They gobbled up more than 32,000 tickets for this game in less than four days.
The players also want to say thanks, one more time, to the coach who taught them what it takes to win.
"To me, the great coaches are the ones who can get it out of their players, get their players to lay it on the line every single down," said Brown, who lost both his father and grandfather during his time at Mississippi State and considers Croom a surrogate father. "We don't have the best players here at Mississippi State. The talent is getting better, because guys want to come be a part of what Coach Croom is doing here.
"But whether you're a five-star or one-star player, I promise he's going to get the absolute best out of you. That's something you can take with you the rest of your life, whether you're playing football or not."
His old coach with the houndstooth hat would be proud.

At 97, the oldest living Brooklyn Dodger reflectstags: NYT, baseball, Brooklyn Dodgers
Late one recent night on Bible Street in Cos Cob, Conn., in the carpeted basement apartment of a gray bungalow, Mike Sandlock, 97, had a dream that he was in Yankee Stadium.
A tall, white-haired great-grandfather, he stood at the plate, under pressure to hit a home run. "I says: 'That's not me! I'm not a home run hitter!' " Sandlock protested. Nonetheless, he crushed one into the right-field stands, then woke up.
"I have crazy dreams anyway," Sandlock said dismissively.
About 82 years earlier, when Sandlock lived about three miles from where he does now, he took the train one day to the Bronx with his older brother. It was his first time in Yankee Stadium, and Babe Ruth was in his prime. Sandlock sat in the right-field bleachers, and Ruth hit a towering drive well over the teenager's head....

Matt Cutts & The Search Community Interview
I finally got around to watching Whiteboard Friday – The Matt Cutts Interview and felt it was worth pointing out. Matt Cutts, Google Engineer, is a huge part of the SEM industry. Rand Fishkin's interview with Matt Cutts explores that relationship.
Questions include how Matt got into being the face of Google for webmasters, how other Googlers are aiding him, and the struggle in demonstrating that he is not the final answer at Google for SEOs. It is really a great interview.
In addition to the SEOmoz interview, Wired has a really short Q&A with Matt that was just published yesterday.

LG Optimus G Pro: An excellent 5.5-inch Android smartphone - gallery
Summary: AT&T's LG Optimus G Pro starts shipping today, and is a good alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Note II. LG improves the specs, and offers some handy utilities, but does not have stylus support.

Like Samsung's TouchWiz, LG includes its own software layer on top of Android. It is less obtrusive than TouchWiz, and doesn't offer up duplication like Samsung does in too many areas.

Large battery, micro SIM, and microSD
The UI is actually quite good, and gives you some unique customization support, such as the ability to change app icons to different icons or even a photo you select, many custom experience settings, quick side button selection, and more.

Narrower than the Galaxy Note II
LG also includes several utilities, such as QSlide, QuickMemo, QuickRemote, LG Tag+, SmartShare, and VoiceCommand.
