I'm not really an Ultimate Fighter - just addicted to the show - but wouldn't be cool if I could lose twenty pounds and do the show! My girl would never let me, but it would be sooo cool.

Totally. I am Wanderlei Silva, in another life.

Matt-

Being trying to keep up with all of this madness...

In response to Scott's question - "Will it work?" - the church free model where you spread the word by word of mouth - it does, to an extent, as Subjective is free and tries to spread the word by word of mouth.

Granted - none of us are being paid for this crazy theatre - but it's moving along. I wish more groups would try this model - then maybe we would be onto something.

Check out www.thebrooklynrail.org by the end of the week - I will have an essay on this shit in there.

Would be interested in hearing what you think...
