Tonight I performed an improvised sermon as the Reverend Raymond Nader to introduce the rock band Ten Ton Mojo for their album release show at Arlene’s Grocery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
It’s been a fickle 2012 in terms of my website. Just when I think I find a design I like, I release it then I hate it.
I’ve been giving more thought into what I needed in a site, and I think I found a design that’s suited for it. What you’re probably seeing now is what I’m going with.
So stay tuned. I started this today, and it’s to be seen just how long it will take for me to get it online. In the meantime, if you need to get in touch with me, try me at (212) 252-4706 and […]
The über-talented Lucy-Jade Norris hosts On Deck with Lucy, an interview series that features talent, trends, and tastes of New York City. She interviewed me for Episode 3, and here’s the video which just came out.
In the video we cover my book Long-Form Improv, my all-improvised web series The Infinite Need, and the improvised sermons I do as the Reverend Raymond Nader. Have a watch!
This morning I ran the Philadelphia Marathon in 3:16:03.
For a recap of my experience, read my entry in my running blog O’er the Hills.
Today I starred in a voting documentary filmed by vlogger Aimée Davison.
The video may be found on YouTube here.
This evening I did a live radio interview for Lucy-Jade Norris‘s program On Air with Lucy. In the interview, we talked about the recent NYC Replacement Marathon that I organized while briefly touching on my book Long-Form Improv.
Below is the wrap-up email I sent out to interesteds and participants in the NYC Replacement Marathon run at 8am on Sunday, November 4, 2012, in Central Park. The post below is slightly modified from the original email. UPDATED: 11/18/2012
Hello, all!
Many of you participated in the NYC Replacement Marathon. Others of you emailed me and subways got in your way. Others just contacted me interested in the story.
I wanted to give you a wrap-up.
NOTE: Check the bottom of this post for any updates. Even better, email me your email address so I can email you any changes. If you want to see the original information about this race idea, click here for the first blog post.
Hello,
My name is Ben Hauck. I’m a guy running a marathon in Central Park on Sunday since there is no NYC Marathon 2012. It was featured in an article on the Huffington Post website. I understand you’re interested in joining me. Here are the official details of what I’m calling “The NYC Replacement […]
Hi. My name is Ben Hauck. And I’m going to run a marathon on Sunday.
Not the ING NYC Marathon, because it’s been cancelled. Instead, I’m going to run one in Central Park.
I’m going to use my Garmin 610 and run 4+ loops around the park until my watch tells me I’ve run a marathon.
Perhaps you’ll want to join me.
I’m just a guy. A guy who wants to run that day.
On October 5th, I did an interview with Elizabeth Quinn for her Improvised New York podcast. The interview was the substance for Episode 47, which came out today.
Subscribe to her fantastic podcast which interviews all kinds of improvisers on iTunes or listen on Podbean when it’s released a little later this month.
This evening I appeared on Episode 704 (“Unwindulax”) of the television series 30 Rock.
I appear in the second act, in the second scene. In other words, after the first commercial break, I’m in the second scene.
I play the coatcheck guy opposite Tina Fey.
I noticed that in the screencap for the Hulu version, there’s a shot of Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. Between them in the background, you see me!
Today I ran the Atlantic City Marathon 2012 in 3:15:14, which oddly enough is 2 seconds faster than I ran the Boston Marathon 2011.
This means that to date, today’s marathon is my fourth fastest marathon.
