He’s a playwright and founding member of the Satori Group. He covers sports and culture for Grantland and writes the hilarious Seahawks game recaps for the Stranger. He’s also an Upright Citizens Brigade-trained sketch and improv player. (Full disclosure: Friedman also starred in a video I made with Encore contributor Travis Vogt that was a finalist in this year’s SketchFest Seattle Comedy Film Challenge.) Friedman’s got a worldly sense of humor and an active curiosity that makes no distinction between high and low culture. He’s always working on something weird and wondrous. I caught up with him for this week’s installment of Five Friday Questions. What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen/heard in the last month?

It’s also worth noting that Lubezki, who is by far the best to Grown Ups 2’s apparent misanthropy, makes the whole project deeply cinematographer working right now, also has an Instagram account that’s satisfying and makes me want to watch Grown Ups 2 (despite their weekly playing on another level. sign-off, “DON’T WATCH THE FILM”).

I’d have to pay 10 bucks to watch Grown Ups 2 just so I can more deeply in on a joke. Nice try, Sandler, but that’s not gonna happen (yet anyway...

He hasn’t done this yet, so I’m shaming him (while also shamelessly plugging our show). Sans this as of yet non-existent mix, I’ll go with the song “Just” by Radiohead to get me pumped and every other song by Radiohead for when I’m sad. What’s the ideal setting for writing a play? Depends on the point in the process. Early on I like to be as far from everyone as possible so I can spew out whatever I’ve got in my brain onto the page. Then when I have to do the grittier work of defining a story arc or composing a treatment, I like to work closely with a couple collaborators by day, and then recede to my own space at night for scripting. My best time for pumping out text usually comes after 10 pm, because I’m a crazy person for whom the rules don’t apply (or because I’m lazy and deadlines don’t count until whomever you owe a draft to is awake in the morning). What’s the most indispensable thing you own? I hate that the answer is my MacBook Air, but man, I would not be able to survive without it. It’s light and powerful and small, and I do all my work on it. I’m writing these words on it right now! Say hi, MacBook Air. [ ] Nothing. It’s shy. Shy but great. You’ll have to trust me on this. I’ve got a pretty great dog too whom I would not be comfortable dispensing of. Let’s put my dog Edgar Martinez Friedman in a tie with my MacBook Air for the top spot.

    FILIPINO AMERICANS AND POLYCULTURALISM IN SEATTLE, WA THROUGH HIP HOP AND SPOKEN WORD By STEPHEN ALAN BISCHOFF A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN AMERICAN STUDIES WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of American Studies DECEMBER 2008 To the Faculty of Washington State University: The members of the Committee appointed to examine the thesis of STEPHEN ALAN BISCHOFF find it satisfactory and recommend that it be accepted. _____________________________________ Chair, Dr. John Streamas _____________________________________ Dr. Rory Ong _____________________________________ Dr. T.V. Reed ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Since I joined the American Studies Graduate Program, there has been a host of faculty that has really helped me to learn what it takes to be in this field. The one professor that has really guided my development has been Dr. John Streamas. By connecting me to different resources and his challenging the confines of higher education so that it can improve, he has been an inspiration to finish this work. It is also important that I mention the help that other faculty members have given me. I appreciate the assistance I received anytime that I needed it from Dr. T.V. Reed and Dr. Rory Ong. A person that has kept me on point with deadlines and requirements has been Jean Wiegand with the American Studies Department. She gave many reminders and explained answers to my questions often more than once. Debbie Brudie and Rose Smetana assisted me as well in times of need in the Comparative Ethnic Studies office. My cohort over the years in the American Studies program have developed my thinking and inspired me with their own insight and work.
