Happy Thanksgiving!
My 13 hour day is over. I'm thankful! "ASL in the Raw" was packed and fun and tiring and definitely X-rated. Super, super thankful. I can't wait for Friday's show.
I was so busy, I didn't have time to blog it but Christian was on Keith Olbermann tonight via satellite from Seattle. Thankfully, we have the internet and instant gratification:
Turkey Pardon is a Joke

Thankful for stuff.
New Found Respect
I don't want to pretend that I have *any* talent for music. In fact, I will venture a guess and say I'm the *least* talented person musically except for, say, my deaf family...of whom some actually formed a Christian folk group called the "Signs of the Harvest". I have no ear for it. Ahem. But, I have gotten quite good at the medium level of Guitar Hero (hard and expert seem positively savant-like at this point) and I am amazed at the level of intense concentration and full body cooperation goes into my hitting 100% of the notes (brag). This has given me a new found respect for the rock and roll star.
The fact that they are able to play any song, let alone several in a row, and using real strings and chords instead of color coded buttons is mind boggling. I actually got tired in the middle of one song and thought, "My hands hurt and I really want a sip of that wine." So I hit pause and sipped the wine and stretched my hand which had frozen stiff into its claw like pose necessary to hit the blue and red buttons simultaneously. Just how the heck do they play with a fly buzzing around and all that hair in their eyes? In their mouth? And drunk? Because that's how I'm trying to play and it's hard!
--Kambri
It must be an act. Rock and roll stars are actually sober savants who calculate their drug addled look.

Full Spread
 ASL in the Raw got a nice plug in this week's Time Out NY with someone signing "vagina" in a full spread. Nice! Even better, they ran a step by step "yo mama" joke with Doug (one of the two deaf comedians) doing the signs and a quiz that you can take online. Check it out here.
Anyway, see this deaf comedy jam live at Comix on November 21st or 23rd at 8:00 PM. Tickets are selling fast so buy yours today.

The NY Post might run something, too. If so, I'll be sure to post it.
