Shameless Pluggery - Just a Minute

I just wrote the promotional blurb for a show I’m presenting in Boston this month, so I figured I’d post it here:

For over 35 years, British radio listeners have enjoyed the classic game show Just A Minute. Now, following an uproarious showing at a Culpepper Jamboree in February, it returns to ImprovBoston‘s stage. Local improvisers, comedians and wits will regale you with stories and anecdotes regarding topics as diverse as “Donuts”, “The 1812 Overture” and “Alan Turing”, all whilst avoiding the deadly sins of repetition,
hesitation or deviation.

We’re playing every Wednesday night in August at 8pm as part of ’“The Hump”(ImprovBoston – ImprovBoston Online)’:http://www.improvboston.com/php/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=2108&page_id=54, and tickets are a scant $5. Come along if you’re in the area.

(Oh, and no-one tell the BBC please. They might frown.)

Technorati: Not ready for prime time

I’ve long felt that Technorati is the buggy, faulty, but well-PR-managed little cousin of Blogdex and Daypop.
