Laugh at Yourself First: Angel Dressed in Black


Visit Laugh at Yourself First for "Angel Dressed in Black," and more short fiction, scripts, and very little poetry from Paul Juser.

I was once knew a girl who loved Radiohead. She told me a sad story of Thom Yorke and the song "Fake Plastic Trees." Yorke claimed he wrote the song for a girl that would never hear it. I wrote a story about that girl called "A Nativity in Black." She might read this. This week's story, "Angel Dressed in Black," is about a girl that will probably never read it. It follows Zoe West, whose wedding Rubin attends in "Dollars Per Hour." While standing alone, this story is part of a larger storyline with "Regular Crazy" and "A Love Song for Mary Jane Kelly."

If you're here with me in Binghamton, you know we can never tell if the screaming man in a rainbow wig with a balloon under his shirt is an escaped lunatic, drumming up business, or a mayoral candidate. These days, you can find Mastodon touring with Dethklock, or opening Wembly Stadium for Metallica. In an interview with Noise Creep, drummer Brann Dailor tells a few tales of the band's formative years. Every anecdote came from one show at an abandoned China buffet in Endwell.

I've got an event for you to attend. The Kermidas Dance Troupe will be performing "Wonderland" August 29th and 30th at the Endicott Performing Arts Center. The show will benefit Stand Up To Cancer, which is a cause that's been heavy on my mind in the last couple years. Visit Print is Better to see their poster and view the full press release. Thanks for reading.
