Kickoff of the 2010-2011 Gallery Reading Series

September Gallery from Alex Cunningham on Vimeo.


At the end of September I read at Columbia's Gallery reading series, which is to say I conned the Gallery folks into letting me read a second time.  Seeing as this will probably never happen again, I pleased as punch to present a recording of the reading.  Presumably more of these will be posted monthly, and while they won't feature me (and thus I won't be listening) they will feather other fine, young, talented folks.

Also, just for the record, neither the hecklers shouting during my piece nor my responses were planned ahead of time.  If I'm going to put a plant in the audience of a reading to disrupt things it's either going to be a streaker or a self-immolater.   

Storytelling: Roommates, Gay Chicken, and the Secret Service.

Erik Leavitt makes a house call from MonkeyFish Productions on Vimeo.


The folks at Monkey Fish Productions were kind enough to film me telling stories to a room full of strangers--meaning both people with whom I'm not acquainted and people I know who qualify as strange.  While I suspect that the real purpose of this video might have been to create footage for a youtube mashup of "KKK Took My Baby Away," I'm happy to use them for my own promotional purposes.
