Brothers Hines videos!
Last night (October 8th) the Brothers Hines competed in a Improv Cagematch at the UCB Theater. We did this two years ago, and it was great to do it again. We had a really fun show and won (which means we get to perform again next week). But the only reason I am writing this [...]
National Sketch Month: 3 of the same sketches?
Will, Erik and I wrote 3 different sketches with the same title. Twice. You see I’ve been participating in the Unofficial Sketch Month. Ben Ragheb and Michelle Dobrawsky are the ones who championed it. I recall brother Will doing it last year. And Silvija Ozols mentioned to me in August that she had plans to [...]

Helpless: A Story in Capes
The following was inspired by Will Hines: Helpess A shot rang out and the Senator collapsed to the floor. His daughter clutched the wounded man’s side screaming for a doctor. Seemingly from nowhere Dr. Spiral stepped forward. Dressed for a night out in his best suit he took the Senator’s body into his arms. He [...]
Divergent Dimensions of Kevin
A couple weeks back a college friend of mine, Matt, visited. We hadn’t seen each other in years and while we were catching up I was struck by an odd feeling – like I was looking at an alternate reality of myself. Somehow a rift between dimensions had opened and I had stepped out to [...]
Long Term Bets
My favorite bets to make are long term, low stakes bets. Half the fun is remembering you even made the bet. My second favorite long term bet was one I made with my brother Brian. I can’t remember when we made the bet, but I am pretty sure I was in high school. I bet [...]
Watchmen was ok
Maybe I’m too close. While watching this movie a part of me was upset anytime a favorite line or moment was NOT in the movie, and then often I felt the movie made mistakes my being so slavish to the comic. Quite a contradiction. But now that I am 24 hours removed from the film [...]
Humbled in a Spider-Man Shirt
About a month ago I was leaving the UCB Offices and heading home when my phone rang. It was Silvija who was looking for someone to join her to see an opera. She had free tickets for Dr. Atomic. I had never seen an opera, and seeing one in English sounded easier to take. Also [...]
Technology’s Bitch
I am amazed at how quickly technology becomes something I can’t live without. When I started college there was no World Wide Web. By the time I graduated I couldn’t understand how people did their homework without it. All my research was done online. How did they do it 2 years earlier? After having a [...]
Roger likes tennis, and I talk to Ben Schwartz
I can’t stop making xtranormal videos! Here is one that is a recreation of every conversation I have ever had with Ben Schwartz: And here is another one in my Roger Likes Tennis series. In this one, Roger asks for advice. About tennis. Because Roger likes tennis: I hope you enjoy this, because I have [...]
