I have started a Tumblr, but I don’t have any expectations for it.You can find it here:  I’ll continue to perform in “Colbert Report Writers: Seize The Mustard” improv at UCB theater until someone in charge figures out we have no idea what we’re doing. The next one is July 30: A big Del Close Marathon show in that freaky Aames room theater at F.I.T. I have fun every time I do this show.Colbert Report Writers: Seize the Mustard at DCMThanks for playing.-E
