Community was just starting to build steam when NBC abruptly cancelled the program. A severe fan backlash has prompted the network to revive the quirky-little-show-that-could (who knew there was still a vehicle for Chevy Chase?). Creator Dan Harmon is happy as a clam to be back on the grind but I recently stumbled upon some of his early work. Specifically, a short series called Lazer Fart. I wasn't able to get through the whole thing so you guys tell me what I missed. Real talk? We all have humble beginnings.

Next week, the Celebration Company at the Station Theatre in Urbana, IL will launch its 40th season.  I've been frequenting the Station for close to 15 years now.  My wife has starred in several productions (Eurydice, My Name is Rachel Corrie, Whitey, and Suburbia, among others).  I myself have composed some original compositions (Couples Counseling Killed Katie) and my son lent his voice as the boy in Rabbit Hole.  Depsite this history, it was only yesterday that I realized Nick Offerman was a Station veteran.  You may know him as Ron Swanson on NBC's Parks and Recreation.  Nick cut his teeth on our tiny little community stage.  Way gone.
