Extraordinary piece by Halim Madi in @48hills about Border People revival. Many insights including: "Hanging transforms from a mundane and unproductive activity to the rare and privileged human experience of being with people in their truth."

My new piece of journalistic theater has launched. TAKES ALL KINDS Stories of American Democracy. People pushing the country forward in the toughest places. Stories of change that changed me. And maybe you. Come experience it! @ILoveTheMarsh and @Oakland_Theater.

Vegas is fascinating. An immigrant middle class has risen from the Culinary Union and America's need to numb itself. Also searching for moderate Republicans, and more in my latest Substack essay.

NoHum I'm coming to y'all! In a week I'll be in Arcata for two nights Jan. 19th and 20th of Border People @arcataplayhouse. So looking forward to your beautiful audiences again.

I wrote a piece about Ghost Mall hanging with my son and Parisian nephew, the great @huahsu Hua Hsu's beautiful memoir Stay True, and my childhood growing up in San Francisco in the '90s. Read here!

The future is African. Great piece by @declanwalsh and a good team.

Only 3 performances left of revised Border People. And tomorrow special post-show talkback guest. See you there!.

My latest substack piece on Bars I've Learned In, slow sychronous communication, and the hazards and joys of barstools monologues. Also, I'm doing a work-in-progress showing of new piece next Wednesday, Dec. 6th at The Marsh.

Yup, I'm teaching an 8 week in person class with the vaunted Story Midwife Joyful Raven in Berkeley. There's only 1 slot left. And you can use code "story flash" for Discount Massif. #solotheater #storytelling #makesomeart

Southern (AZ) and Northern Borders (NY). I started work on Border People after Trump got elected. Went to northern border with Canada, in 2017, and then to Southern Border. Remounting it next week at The Marsh in SF. 8 performances only. As relevant as ever.

Border People returns to the Bay in three weeks for first time since the pandemic. This show is as relevant as it has ever been. The stories continue to fill me with awe and hope. Hope to see you there!

Spent an inspiring week at @berkeleyrep's groundfloor with wonderful group of storytellers. Thinking bout storytelling and its power to bind or unravel us. Wrote a thing about it with stories of Chicago Cops, Mombasa Area Boys and a Nebraska All-Nighter.

I wrote about the joy of the Oakland A's baseball experience, the triumph of hyper-capitalism. Freezing at the Stick, pale leggy Walnut Creekers at the Coli in the late '80s, and the glorious run-down community center carnaval that is today's game.

Teaching a 5 week online writing and performance class this Spring. Still a few spots available. Holler with any questions.

Just back from research trip. Heard stories about growing up gay, deaf, and fearless, 3 years in Afghanistan w/Blackwater, history of Goldsboro, America's 2nd Black incorporated community. And How To Ramble Like a Pro. All in latest substack piece.

Final show tonight at 5pm in Berkeley! I'll be warming it up for @StephenCurry30 and the Dubs an hour up the road in Sac. I'll be offstage by 2nd quarter, right when the Dubs start cookin'. Come thru and catch the pre-game delights of this show!.

Final 2 shows of Talk To Your People in Berkeley tonite and Saturday. So grateful to everyone who has come out and dug into this show. Amid a lot of headwinds, really proud of how it's connected w/audiences here and touring. Come thru before it's gone!
