I did another 11-minute-23-second segment of my mock-Jim-Harbaugh tribute Friday at Philz, with the emphasis on mock.
I know if was exactly 11:23 because I did it as a “track act” talking over Pink Floyd “Pigs”.
Why “Pigs”? No reason. A neighbor had burned me a cd, which had recently been remastered by the label; “Animals” from 1977.
I was riffing on the nickname for the ball itself, pigskin. Also, the Pink Floyd album was riffing on George Orwell treatise “Animal Farm.”
I also made this performance something of a “prop act” in that I turned a glass Philz coffee mug into a cowbell, read from both James Franco “Palo Alto” — something about his dad liking math — and a 1963 book about Y.A. Tittle. A guy named Fabes joined me on stage to help spin the cd, on his Apple computer. I brought my egg-timer to help clock the 11:23. And I had an actual football, albeit a rubber Baden one.
No livestock was harmed in my presentation, although I did scarf down a sausage and egg breakfast burrito right after the hit.
The other acts were considerably better than me, especially Fabes, Remi and Chloe, Michael McCaul, AIR from Cal and Ami Pienkenaruga, who improvised a song about caffeine addiction. Plus our host Jessie. I met a comic Rob Goodman who wore a Spoon shirt and imitated Lil’ Wayne.
