The Damned were great. Rocking, dramatic, and playful. Lots of fun.

At The Damned Halloween 🎃 show. Pictured: opener Fucked Up. Great so far. Waiting for the main act.

Saw Kaiju Big Battel last night. Pictured is the climactic match between the heroic Steam Powered Tentacle Boulder and the villainous Dr Cube.

A wrestling ring with two people in costumes of giant monsters. One is wearing scrubs and a box on his head painted like a comic face, eyebrows downturned. The other is dressed as a boulder with two tentacles for arms. The boulder has a furnace grill for a face and a smokestack.

My group the Cat’s Cradle Ensemble is performing a fully improvised off Broadway show at the Player’s Theater, Friday October 27th at 9:30pm. Tickets are selling fast!

Corck board with a note clipped to it. The note’s title is “Chris Highlights”. The note reads, “Hi. Listen, alright? I’m telling you a story about me, Chris DeLuca, the improvistor. I’ve locked the doors. They’re in my apartment, so it doesn’t affect you, but I still want you to think about it. My improvisational style has been described as silly, featuring big doofy character work, combined with quick footed logic to tie everything together. Who made that description? Who cares! More importantly, who smells? Me? Wrong. I’m in my apartment, so I know you can’t smell shit. You plinth weasel. My comedic voice is very gentle. Jesus.” An organge callout over the corkboard reads, “Come see chris at the players theatre 10/27 | 9:30pm”

Found my plant at the Brooklyn botanical garden.

Sunset Park goes hard for Halloween 🎃

Just played Cage Match at Caveat with Loose Corn. Thanks to Max, the two out of towners, and the Kaplan Brothers. For anyone outside the NYC improv scene this has been an impenetrable word salad.

Apple Maps is having a day.

Had a wonderful time visiting my friend Zach and his family in Chicago. I’m the one who looks like he smells a fart.

Two white dudes sitting in a cart in a loose woods. The man on the right stares impassively into the lense. The man on the right looks like he smells a fart.

Did a little dress up with my friend’s five year old son’s hat and tie. It’s the first time my head has ever looked big, and the last time I’ll have my dignity.

A white man grinning wide with a small fedora on the top of his head and a tiny bow tie.

Colored pencil doodle looking off the page.

A purple lined bean shape with a big eye and stick arms and legs. It stares off the page. There’s a pink swirl around it.

Went on the Chicago architecture tour yesterday and had a blast. I now know that a key aspect of post modern architecture is that the building recognizes its context. For example, a lot of the buildings along the Chicago River have wavy details that evoke the water.

The Chicago skyline taken from the water. Stormy skies loom overhead.

Model train dioramas are cool. 🚂

A diorama of Seattle. Builds in the background, river with a boat in the foreground, train in the middle. You can see it’s a small scale model in a large room.

A taste of las Vegas in LaGuardia.

A swirling fountain with jets of water coming from the ceiling in fancy configurations and lighting in multiple colors.

My friend Jon gifted me the classics. 🍿

Smoke stacks near industry city.

Two abandoned smoke stacks against a darkening sky, light still holding on in the corner. A sliver of a moon rests low between the smokestacks , right above industrial buildings. In the foreground is a truck.

🕹️ I just beat the original Kirby’s Dream Land for the original Gameboy. Took me an hour and a half. It’s short and relatively easy, but a real fun time. The last boss has a long annoying pattern though.

Back in New York.

A night show of glowing New York City skyscrapers

🕹️ Last night, I beat Death in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. So difficult, even with Maria, the easier character! After that, I beat the Shaft boss gauntlet. Now, on to the final level and Dracula. It is hard.

Went for a bike ride with my dad. The ride left an impression. So did the helmet. In my head. #baldlife
