The Idiots are at it again. St Idiot Collective, that is. They've got another quirky, brainy, unique production in the works. One never knows what the Idiots will get up to next, and this project is no exception. Rainbow Family of the Serendipitous Now or The Orpheous Project (that's a mouthful) is an original work written by SIC member Adrienne Dawes and developed collaboratively with the company. The piece is an adaptation of the Orpheus......

When we last posted about the Mean Eyed Cat, we didn't really understand what the problem was. Why did they need a petition to get a zoning change to keep on doing what they were doing? With time (and "articles" by real media publications that do "research") comes clarity. It has now become clear that the Old West Austin Neighborhood Association is the driving force behind the attempt to deny the rezoning request. If......

As we reported on the night it occurred, two weeks ago St Idiot Collective was forced to move their annual fundraiser from its planned location, Gutter Kitty Studios, to a different venue, Scoot Inn, at the eleventh hour. In spite of this, a fabulous time was had by all; see Conan the Librarian's comment for a micro-review. After some hard thinkin' and some even harder wordsmithin', the Ids have release the following statement. Quite the......

St. Idiot Collective's Fool's Fund benefit party tonight has been forced to change venues at the eleventh hour, moving from Gutter Kitty Studios to Scoot Inn. Their press release: Hours after transforming the warehouse venue Gutter Kitty Studios into a retro-futuristic wonderland for St Idiot Collective’s Fool’s Fund, a birthday benefit aimed at raising funds for the emerging non-profit theatre company, the venue owner “changed the locks” on the idiots’ second annual fundraiser one......

Heads up! The Idiots are having a party this Saturday! The fun and friendly folks at St Idiot Collective have put together quite a bash to celebrate their second birthday. Why...they're just babes, aren't they? Check out this action: The go-go famous Aubrey Edwards will be running a photobooth -- get yer pic snapped! The Idiots have erected a private karaoke booth -- croon on, good reader, croon on. Somewhere amongst all the fun......

The generous excitement and anticipation that met the release of 2001’s The Wash was well warranted. A cameo by Eminem as “the crazy, homicidal white guy” was just the glistening cherry on top of a large, delicious sundae of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s combined raw talent, served in a sparkling, crystal bowl of DJ Pooh's writing and directing skills. It seemed an infallible recipe for success. In the end, the quality of the film's......

The White Ghost Shivers know how to a throw a party, and for Halloween they'll be taking over the Oaks in Manor for an evening of variety-show mayhem. If the country-swing-ragtime attack of the Shivers was not enough, St. Idiot Collective’s vaudeville act joins the festivities featuring some of the Austin’s most talented stage actors. Having recently wrapped up their first production, Vaudeville Vanya, the Idiots are planning another night of artistic innovation at......

Toby Keith would watch at least one of these movies... *Akeelah and the Bee It’s hard to make fun of such an earnest, lesson-filled film that stars Laurence Fishburne, Angela Bassett, and an adorable little girl. All we can really say is, she best win that motherf*cking bee. United 93 Nothing says “America” quite like capitalizing on the lingering sentiments created by recent national tragedies. *Stick It From the geniuses/idiots who created Bring it......

We caught up with Independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman recently to discuss the upcoming election and why he wants primary voters to save themselves for him. As you would imagine, Kinky did most of the talking. We found him to be thoughtful, engaging and funny. What follows are highlights of that interview for which we used Kinky’s song titles as subject headers.* *The first reader to email us with the names of the three......

On our past recaps, we've had comments from people saying things like, "Oh god, I can't handle watching these idiots do nothing but drink and screw!" and "Are they going to do anything other than drink and screw this time?" and also, "Drinking and screwing? Again!?" We had no idea what everyone was complaining about. Drinking and screwing is fun! And it is fun to watch people do it, even if they are stupid.......
