A Halloween Treat
Well it happened, folks. Right when you weren’t looking, Myles went and reinvented the musical.

“This Halloween, sink into the world of a New Orleans-style ghost story musical, a tall tale full of highballs and oddballs, hobgoblins and hemoglobin. Our protagonist, the eponymous Beau Fib, embarks on a quest to find out why he wore his good shoes, something he’d never do without a special occasion. On his journey, he joins forces with an unlikely coterie comprising a heartbroken soldier, a derelict priest, and an acid-tongued strumpet. As they reel from danger and stagger into peril, their quest story unfolds through musical influences that range from Tom Lehrer to Tom Waits, Kurt Weill to barbershop quartet, with lots of surprises, monsters, and smutty talk along the way (did we mention the demonic singing clown?). The humor is dark, the characters are twisted, the whole thing stinks of booze — it’s like no musical you’ve ever been to before. Full of wordplay and weltshmertz, Beau Fib is a lively, hauntingly original new play that will always tell you the truth and will make you live forever.”

Weekend Reading
If you’re like many of us and don’t have a stable job, then the weekend ain’t nothin’ but another pair of days. So why not spend them perusing our two favorite blogs on the subject!

What Is Your Least Favorite Racial Stereotype?

Fourth in a series of posts intended to let you better know the actors and writers of Weak Nights, this week’s question is: What is your least favorite racial stereotype?
Ryan Sandoval
When they say that Mexicans are lazy. That’s such bullshit. If you grew up where I did, you’d see these dudes working like 3 jobs and slaving away in the strawberry fields doing this crap labor just to get shit all over. Such shit.
Price Peterson
I think it’s wrong and hurtful whenever people talk about how all Asians play either piano or violin and wear only neutral colors and consider cheese to be their kryptonite and don’t hug their parents.
Eliot Benjamin
The one about Indian people owning hotels. It’s boring. I just don’t have too much to work with when my white hate rears its beautiful head.
Lily Sparks
I don’t like it when people talk racism against [edited by Weak Nights legal team], because they aren’t human. If you said you hated ants, that wouldn’t be racist. That would be ridiculous! Same difference.
Jonathan Cannon
I don’t like racial stereotypes because they limit one’s autonomy and because they are 100% true at least 100% of the time, and I’m unsettled by that kind of certainty. That said, don’t ever tell me white people can’t dance, 1, 2, 3, 4! (spin-move, flawless robot transition into pop-lock disco dance, somehow ends with a yo-yo in a cat’s cradle). Case rested, friend.

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Buying two for one Guinness while wearing green doesn’t buy you a legacy of Catholic guilt and persecution by the British. Real Irishmen drink alone.
[Since originally submitting this response, extensive genetic testing has revealed that I am far less Irish than I am Viking and Inuit. So I'm now letting Irish comments slide, but talk shit on Inuits and I will cut your head off and nail it to the prow of my Dragon Ship.]

Someone once told me that any attractive young woman driving a BMW or Mercedes in LA is probably a high-class prossy. This is my least favorite racial stereotype because it’s probably true and, unlike me, those bitches got an income.
Tim Heiderich
I don’t know if it’s a racial stereotype, but the idea that racists are all inbred, backwoods hicks is very unfair. We are doctors, lawyers, college students, wives, girlfriends, and grandparents. People need to be more open-minded about what stereotypes a “racist”.

I love Japan.

That all gay people have AIDS. This is offensive since no lesbians really have AIDS.

5.1/2 bottom racial stereotypes:
1. Arabs give away the endings of movies, especially if they’re from the United Arab Emirates
2. Pacific Islanders say “What is it?” while they’re already unwrapping a present
3. Panamaniacs bog down conference calls with rambling rhetorical questions
4. Black people give unnecessarily complicated directions
5. Cree Indians tell lies about their heritage
5.1/2 Jews d
