A list of all events, publications, shows, and so on, in order, with the newest on top. Generally websites like this keep info to a minimum and avoid listing the smaller stuff, the weird goofball shit, and the addendums, but I wanted to have a place for that stuff. It's important!

If there's an event scheduled for the future I'll put it here too. And if I forgot something or got a detail wrong please let me know! For some of these events the only info I have is the flyer, and flyers rarely list the year... I'm definitely wrong on the years for a few items here.

• 2020
  2020/03/07 - I'll be playing a music show (Strawberry Band) with Electric Street Queens and more tba, at the Lily Pad in Cambridge MA.
  2020/01/01 - I have a few illustrations running for the next couple months in Colin's free monthly newsletter "Life Harvester".
  2020/01/25 - I played a show with a new band ("Strawberry Band") at the News Cafe in Pawtucket RI. It was a benefit for Students for a Free Tibet. Funeral Cone, RONG, and Alpha Error also played. This was a really fun show!
  2020/01/01 - Colin Hagendorf listed Mothers News as "Best Zine of the Decade" over at MAXIMUMROCKANDROLL, and wrote a very nice write-up. Link is here: [link], archived as a screenshot here: [link].
• 2019
  2019/11/25 - Back issues of Mothers News are available at Gary Panter's Hippybilly Headshop, an installation at Feeding Tube Records in Florence MA. :)
  2019/11/08 - I played a music set at the 7th Bach To The Future event in Providence RI, my 7th year of doing so. It's an all night marathon of performances by many different artists of music by and inspired by JS Bach. My set was at 6am, I played the synthesizer I've been building.
  2019/11/02 - I moderated a talk at Comic Arts Brooklyn, with Charles Burns and Gary Panter. It was really fun and I would say it went great. It went so good and basically effortless that I felt guilty, like I didn't do enough. But then I thought about how a lesser moderator would've interjected more, just to seem important. I didn't do that, which is how I expressed value in this instance.
  2019/10/20 - I played a music show at Machines With Magnets in Pawtucket, playing a synthesizer I've been building. This was the second time I ever brought it out of the house! Nothing broke this time. I was playing in support of Dungeon Acid, MX Silkman, Lazy Magnet, and Statues of Eden.
  2019/10/04 - I did a short talk and a noise demonstration as part of Ricky Rainbowbeard's children's program, a live event as as220. The crowd was children ages 6-10 and their parents, and a few unchilded adults. I honestly think it went great and a few kids had that "holy shit" look that every performer seeks in an audience. Deep nods from the parents too. Slam dunk.
  2019/08/14 - I got a writing credit on a 7" record from the band Funeral Cone-- they did an adapted version of a song I wrote for them. My song was called "Cory Didn't Like It" but they changed the lyrics a little and called it "ABBA.C.A.B"
  2019/07/13 - I did the 100th installment of my artists residency program, CTRI Innovations. The artist in residence was Murphy Chang.
  2019/05/18 - I had a piece of writing in the book "Ruffles, Repair, and Ritual", published as part of an arts show with the same name, to commemorate the opening of the Wedding Cake House, a bed and breakfast in Providence run by the Dirt Palace arts collective. My piece is called "Roaming Around A Destroyed House".
  2019/05/15 - I designed some stickers for Analog Underground record store in Providence RI and they came out extremely cute.
  2019/04/19 - I did some freelance work for Hasbro, riffing out humorous responses to a card game they were working on. Really fun job! I get gigs like this sometimes- I help someone riff out a concept or come up with examples of a form. Once I even juiced a screenplay (still in developement). I don't feel like this is really the right space to list these sorts of gigs, but maybe the scope of this one is notable, being a huge company that I developed jokes for anonymously.
  2019/03/16 - played a show with Beverley Tender, Joe DeGeorge, and Domestique, as a fund-raiser for the TDOV festival. At Sutton St Gallery in Providence.
  2019/02/22 - I did a little bit of editorial work on Kevin Huizenga's incredible book "Glenn Ganges in: the River at Night" on Drawn & Quarterly. All I did was help him with the copy on the dust jacket- the bio and the book description. I like Kevin a lot and it was a joy and an honor to be able to help out! The book is extremely good.
  2019/01/30 - I gave a talk at the RISD Library about my zine "Rolling Egg", and about the general idea of Shit Zines, which is a style of zine that's quick, fast, loose, cheap, and diametrically opposed to Art Books. The Risd Library made a flyer for the event, which is here: [link]. I made my own flyer, which looks like this: [link]. Rolling Egg was sponsored by a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, and they insisted that I do an artists talk after the project was over, I'm not sure why. They didn't even show up! Well I had a good time anyway, and there was a great crowd, a nice big table full of snacks... all in all a great event. I got stuck in the stairwell on the way in but I didn't let it rattle me.
  2019/01/16 - "Animal Year" opened at Sutton St gallery in Providence RI. This is a show of all the stuffed animals from my 365 days of stuffed animals project, which happened in 2004-2005. The show closed on January 31st, and in between I hosted a few "coffee club" times at the gallery. I made a single-purpose website, here: [link].
  2019/01/15 - nice little interview on the Boston Hassle website in advance of my gallery show. [link]. archived via screengrab here: [link].
• 2018
  2018/12/23 - I self-published the second issue of "Moticos", a zine of drawings made exclusively on a Nintendo DS. I can't remember when issue #1 came out, it was a while ago.
  2018/12/13 - ARTnews did a nice little interview with me about my residency program, CTRI Innovations. You can read it here: [link]
  2018/12/01 - I tabled at a flea market that Cory and Dan put together at as220, there's no website to link to.
  2018/11/09 - I performed at and volunteered for the 6th annual Bach To The Future event, a 12 hour festival of music by and inspired by JS Bach. It ran from 7pm to 7am and I performed almost at the end, at 6:15am.
  2018/11/01 - I have a piece in a show at the Sutton St Gallery in Providence called "Geometry in Conversation". The show was organized by Ian Cozzens and is all quilt and fiber arts. I made a website for it here: http://www.rf5.org/misc/quiltshow/
  2018/10/31 - I guest starred in a painting by Tom Bubul, in a show of paintings that opened at the White Pages gallery in Minneapolis MN. The official page for the show is here: [link] and the more verbose version on Tom's own website is here: [link]. My painting is not, as one might think, the painting of Dracula, though my painting and the Dracula painting share a chandelier, which I appreciate. There's a screengrab of my painting here [link] in case Tom ever moves things around on his website and I don't notice.
  2018/10/30 - I made a font, MonsterMono.ttf, and a website http://www.rf5.org/misc/monsterfont/ to launch it. The font is based on the "Monster Alphabet" riff from Mothers News October 2012, and is less a set of letterforms than a sort of cipher, although the system is one-way, and destructive. You can type your name into a form on the website and it displays another more monstruous name.
  2018/10/06 - I was on the Boston Hassle Telethon with my friend Dan Wars, at 9am. There's no archive, which is probably for the best.
  2018/09/28 - Not sure if this counts but Mickey Zacchilli's book "Space Academy 123" came out on Koyama Press, collecting almost every installment of her celebrated webscomic. One time I was hanging out with Mickey at the coffee shop while she was drawing this and she went to the bathroom, and I wrote my name in the background of one of the pages. I was a little worried it would get erased in the book making process but God bless the entire chain of command, it's in there! I'm filing this under "Guest Appearance".
  2018/08/08 - I launched my video game "Faxanadu George Bataille", an injection of writing from George Bataille into the NES game Faxanadu. You can play it online or download it to play on an NES emulator via rf5.org/fgb, which also has slightly more information, and screenshots. This game was completely and totally done two years previous to this, but I waited around because an editor from Paris Review (who was a Mothers News reader and fan) wanted to put it on their website, with an accompanying article by my favorite writer from when I was in high school (and a $300 check for yours truly). What an incredible offer!!!! But then that got delayed several times over two years and eventually forgotten about, with no one returning my emails! It was a huge bummer in the end, but to be honest, thinking it was going to happen, when it seemed like a done deal, really gave me a boost when I needed it. It was nice to have this sort of external validation for a while, even though in the end it was 100% not externalized. And you know what? Shit happens. It seems like their office was in turmoil at the time, and I can sympathize with the undecision to not respond to me. Are you allowed to say "almost published by the Paris Review"?
  2018/07/30 to 2018/08/05 - I made a daily zine for 4 consecutive days at and about the Providence Fringe Festival. It was called "Rolling Egg". There's a brief write-up on the Fringe Fest website here and you can read them online (as pdfs) at rf5.org/rollingegg. Each is an 8.5x11" sheet of paper, printed in black and white. It's very ok to print them out on your printer at home.
  2018/07/22 - hosted the 30th residency of my artist residency program CTRI Innovations, with writer Jim Frain. This project is still going. You can read about all past artist residents here.
  2018/04/15 - released a new book of poems, called HARPS IN PINE. Limited edition.
  2018/04/07 - tabled at the RISD Unbound art book fair (aka zine fest), and I honestly had a lot of fun.
  2018/04/04 - I started a residency program called CTRI Innovations. You can apply online to be an artist in residence!
  2018/03/30 - music show (as Gold Mantis) at the Dirt Palace in Providence RI, with Evil Sword and Black Wampum! Really fun show. Black Wampum is Joe and Paul from Harry and the Potters, but all their songs are about clams, so it's much easier for me to get into it. Great band!
  2018/03/21 - I have a little piece of writing in this month's issue of Happiness Pony, it's about wearing stickers on your face. You can read it online here
  2018/01/31 - I did a nice interview with Forge magazine, it's a little rambly but i had a nice time. read online here or if you have a hard time reading a pdf online (i do for some reason) i made a website of screengrabs of relevant areas of the pdf here.
  2018/01/12 - music show at Collective A Go Go with Yoni Gordon, the Michael Character, and Other Joliah. Part of Pizza Week. I had a good time but I messed up a lot but I always mess up a lot. I made an instagram-only flyer.
• 2017
  2017/11/17 - I performed in and designed the poster for the 5th (!!!!!) Bach To The Future event in Providence RI, a marathon performance of works by and inspired by JS Bach, which took place at Manning Chapel at Brown University, in 12 consecutive hours from 7pm to 7am. This was my fifth time performing in this event, and as is my custom, I went on in the wee hours of the night / very early morning.
  2017/10/18 - I did an interview for Funeral Cone, but I didn't ask the questions, I was the one to whom the questions were asked, and I pretended to be them. It didn't run in any magazine, this is either a web exclusive or a leak. Anyway there's some cool parts, and you can read it here: Interview as Funeral Cone.
  2017/09/20 - I started a new blog: "100% Publishing" to review printed objects and ramble a little bit.
  2017/07 - I had some writing in a zine about the Shangri-Las called "..And That's Called Bad". I wrote about the Shangri-Las. No idea how to get a copy of this. You can read what I wrote here.
  2017/04 - I did an interview with Brian Nicholson for ACRES magazine- we did this interview a long time ago, and I was under the impression that it wasn't going to come out, so I posted it here: link. But my information was off, or it was right but the situation changed. Anyway this was published in the spring 2017 issue, which you can order here: Acres.
  2017/03/26 - music show (as Gold Mantis) at Nobbig Court, with Virusse, Rob Noyes, and Eric Arn. I was embarrassed because everyone there was really good at tuning their guitars but I'm still really really bad at it! But Cory made a nice recording of the set on his phone, and it sounded pretty good (I thought). silk screened flyer by Aaron DeMuth.
  2017/02 - I MCed the record release party / 100th show for the band Funeral Cone, at the News Cafe in Pawtucket RI. It was fun! I just said the same intro for every band, no problemo.
  2017/02 - There's a weird picture of me on the cover of the new Funeral Cone record, TURN ME ON DEAD MAN. It's on 100% Breakfast Records, which is run by Doug from Fat Day!!!!!!

  2015/11/07-08 I had a really nice time at Comic Arts Brooklyn, signing for a brief spell on Saturday at Mickey Zacchilli's table, and then moderating a talk on Sunday between Mickey, Brian Chippendale, and Sammy Harkham. Saturday was at Mt. Carmel Gymnasium, and Sunday's event was at The Wythe Hotel. The talk went pretty good as I recall. Someone shot a video but I don't think it's online yet, and I have no idea if it ever will be (and I'm not concerned). more info here: link.

(Philadelphia), Nommo Theatre (Baltimore), and Fence Kitchen (PA), and the guide was me. Audience members are asked to meet at the Vine Street stop on the Broad Street Subway, wearing red carnations. From there I led them to the play, which was held at a secret location. I also had to guide them from act to act, both physically and emotionally. I'm going to be completely honest- I did a really good job with this.

  2008/04/xx - I starred in the play "Go To The Chateau", written by Madeline ffitch. Well, I was one of the stars anyway. The play was performed (I think) 16 times, each time for an audience of only 2 people. The play took place at various locations in and around Northhampton MA, and the audience was driven from scene to scene, although the play never stopped, and many of the scenes were in the car en route from place to place. Me and Mike Leslie played First and Second Picnicker. Also featuring Ben Hersey, Heather Christie, Mercury Meulman, and Jonno. A really great crew, and me and Mike did a really good job. We didn't get paid but we ate really good, because I convinced Madeline that it would be good for the play if the picnickers furiously ate a lot of good food the entire time.

  2003/06/20 - music show at the Garment Shoppe in Boston, with True North and Halo Perfecto. I went on a small tour with this crew, down to Florida and back, but I forget what the other shows were, and I didn't play all the shows. If memory serves we played a show that was a high school graduation party. I made 2 quick + shitty flyers for the Boston show, I must've been in a real rush. Check out how I only had 2 keys- mailbox and bike lock! That's because I lived in a barn. Flyer by me . Flyer by me .
  2003/07/?? - truly incredible music show at the WAG- "Fujichia Follies", singing, dancing, hyjinx. a performance set on Little Rascals archetypes, in which loveable scamps put on a show. I played myself in the Alfalfa role, Mike Leslie played by devilish little brother trying to mess up the show, Emily Bloodmilk played the Darla role. Songs included "Give Me A Kiss To Build A Dream On", "Glow Worm" and other tin pan alley hits. Truly nuts. We only did one show! The show had so many people in it that i was worried there'd be no one in the audience, so i rehearsed with everyone seperately- everyone knew only their part! opening for Xander Marro and Becky Stark's "Birdsongs of the Bauhauroque".
