I got mentioned in Time Out Chicago
I got a little shout out in the latest issue of Time Out magazine. Steve Heisler reported on the end of the Bastion, a popular Chicago comedy scene blog. I’m mentioned in the opening line and everything. wooh!:
On September 3, two days before the Bastion comedy blog shut down, the site’s regular “New Video Wednesday” roundup posted a link to green improviser Joe Avella’s work. He immediately blogged on his personal page: “I’ve read the Bastion on-and-off since I got ‘into the scene,’ ” the post read, “and it was always a short-term goal to get mentioned on it or have a video posted.”

Totally weird, but really cool. I’m very pleased that I was mentioned in the article, but a little puzzled too. How did Steve, or anyone for that matter, notice my post? Like I said, it’s cool, I just didn’t think anyone knew about this site. Word.
I’m not sure what was meant by ‘green improviser’. I’m assuming he meant green as in new or inexperienced. Not green as in queezy or appearing ill.
Anyway, read the full article here. I’m not mentioned in it again, but it’s still kind of interesting.
Joe
