Most New Year’s resolutions are unappealing, but this year I can’t resist. Fighter-trainer Kurt Grasa (oops, don’t look up what his last name means in Spanish) promises to make me “an all-around whole participant on this planet” in five minutes a day with his just released “Mixed Life Arts” program. His methods are somewhat unusual. I may need a gun permit and a pre-cut avocado. But his sincerity, his fit 6’5” frame, his expert bobbing and weaving … Hey, wait a minute. Who is this guy? Go to full article Happy New Year! Start on your resolution with this new life-changing workout program.  Jan. 9th 7pm come to Stage 773 to see The Paul Thomas Effort at Chicago Sketchfest. It is fun. I will have some special guests, so it's not just my pretty large face. Here's the ticket link. You can save a few bucks with an early purchase. I'll also be at San Francisco Sketchfest Feb. 5th and 6th. You will probably not go to this because you don't live in San Francisco, but I thought you should know, because it will be very fun.  |
