A new look for Foul, this one was created entirely on a good old fashioned typewriter. Brandon breaks it all down, telling us about what his life is like these days. It opens up with two funny stories about his friend Brian (one titled &ldquo;I love Brian Nix&rdquo;, the other titled &ldquo;I hate Brian Nix&rdquo;), then goes into some lists of shocking pop culture events. Also a story about his girlfriend getting food poisoning, and a few other items. Funny, cynical, real, and down to earth. Half size, 12 pages. <br />

The first collection of plays from the long-running late night theater production &ldquo;Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind&rdquo; (30 Plays in 60 Minutes.) <br />

If you've ever wanted a glimpse into the small, compassionate part of Brandon's heart, this may be your only chance! Half size, 24 pages.
