About This Episode It's time for a special Christmas episode of Stories Found! In this episode, we're talking to the charming playwright, Brian Rust, before hearing his hilarious ten-minute play, Under a Christmas Moon.   About the Playwright Brian Rust (he/him) is a Boston-based actor and writer who makes chocolates and searches for cryptids in his spare time. High points of his career include being killed by a pillow during The Robin Hood Faire, appearing on stage with Le Tigre as a member of the Art School Cheerleaders, and using a plunger and ten pounds of jello to create an unforgettable foley effect for a live radio version of CHICKEN HEART. Most recently he wrote and directed ‘Plan 8 from the Outer Ether' (a steampunk prequel to the infamous Ed Wood film), and directed and produced ‘Strange Tales of Davis Square', an interactive audio tour that took participants on a hunt around a local neighborhood to discover mp3s of stories set in the exact spot they were standing.

Today we sit down with Chris Freeman CEO of Grainmaker and I’m psyched because this has been a stand out fast-casual restaurant here in Boston and just opened its second location in Davis Square.  Grainmaker recieves SO  much praise for its delicious, unique flavors and large menu offerings. Grainmaker is Boston born and began with the simple belief that food can change lives for the better. Inspired by a journey through Southeast Asia, Grainmaker combines the diverse flavors of street food with the region’s most essential ingredient: the humble grain. Every meal that is served at GM aims to serve original grains, locally-sourced produce whenever possible, and humanely-raised meats, prepared fresh every day. GM aims to bring flavors and options that you can't get anywhere else. Chris knew there was a market for incredibly unique and delicious fast casual food to please the masses and that is exactly what he created with Grainmaker.  They work so hard to innovate the menu constantly, as the seasons change, the ingredients change and they are so incredibly inspired by the Boston community, as am I, so I knew I couldn’t wait to chat to Chris to learn all about the beginnings of Grainmaker. And?! This year they’re aiming to slash out waste!

Yet another one from the Boston Street Piano Project. This was the first recording I made that day, after tower bell ringing practice at Old North Church. This is one of the fast arpeggiated ones, in the vein of my Davis Square recording.

I made this recording in Davis Square, Somerville, MA. The piano was part of the Boston Street Piano Project. If you follow the link and scroll down, you'll find a video of me playing!

This presentation / lecture / infomercial examines the nature and implications of object performance both as a global cultural tradition and as a contemporary medium that dominates our culture. While performing objects traditionally include puppets, masks, icons, and other “things”, the more recent innovations of film, television, and the internet can also be seen as aspects of our need to play with stuff. In all cases, the central dynamic of this form involves a focus on the material world instead of humans. The talk will be accompanied by images from 20th-century avant-garde film and performance work. John Bell began his performance work with Bread and Puppet Theater, after which he earned a Ph.D. in theater history at Columbia University. He is a founding member of the award-winning Great Small Works theater company of Brooklyn, a fellow at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT, and Director of the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry at the University of Connecticut. This spring he will be directing a “Living Newspaper”-style production about the politics of global healthcare with MIT students. His latest book, American Puppet Modernism (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008), examines particular moments of puppet, mask, and object theater in the United States over the past 150 years. He is a trombonist with the Somerville-based Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band, and organizer of the upcoming October 12th HONK! Festival Parade from Davis Square to Harvard Square.

Jeff: It makes me mad. Getting cut off in traffic. It hits me just as I hit the brakes. Road Rage. Well, what can you do? The news comes on and a soldier has killed civilians in Afghanistan. Women and children mostly – while they slept. 17 more victims in America's longest war. I'm angry with the staff sergeant, furious with war. Some guy taking off his coat in Diesel, bumps my partner from behind. Hard enough that Julia spills her coffee. No sorry. No excuse me. No nothin'. I want to haul him up over my head and throw him through the window onto the sidewalk. I want to yell, punch, scream – RAGE! I want the world to see the animal in me and to be afraid. For the third time in one day someone asks me for change. I'm annoyed at her because I've got no change left. I'm infuriated at a world where people have to beg for change. A world where billions of us – BILLIONS – live on less than a dollar a day. Less than you could beg for in Davis Square. Can I even get angry enough? I walk into work one day and my boss picks a fight with me. Don't worry, though, I won't let him get to me. 12 hours later I'm brushing my teeth before bed and seething. Thinking of all the things I should have said. All the things I WILL say – one day, ONE DAY. It makes me mad. I was 21-years-old and working for Habitat for Humanity in Miami. There's a kid, Germaine, who comes around the job site all the time. He wears the same dirty ripped clothes every day. He never goes to school, no one ever seems to be looking out for him. I let him help me out with the houses. Become his friend. His mother's on drugs he tells me. He lives with his grandmother but she's really old. One day I'm sharing my lunch with him because he never has any food. He grabs onto me hard and whispers in my ear. Will you be my daddy? Will you be my daddy? Will you be my daddy? Over and over again. And I say NO. I can't. I'm sorry. I wonder if I'll ever stop being angry at myself for that NO. I wonder if I'll ever find a place for this wrath. Will I ever make something of it? What can I do? It makes me mad.
