Quick announcement about some of my IRL meatspace doings.
If you are in the Los Angeles area, I will appear Live! on Risk! The live storytelling show that goes there! On Tuesday, April 16th, at the Lyric Hyperion.
Get yr tickets so it won't be crickets.
If you are not in the LA area, I'll do it anyway. Your life will be touched by the second-order effects of the pure thrills of the attendees at that show as I kill them softly with my song.
it will be a true story, a story of true love of the sort that perhaps only I am capable of. There will be no obfuscation or nebulosity. You'll have a great time, and so will I, especially if you are there.
Tickets are available! But, for how long?
Show up, hang out together, and only together, we will end the loneliness epidemic.
You don't have to do anything. I will provide the entertainment. All you have to do is sit there. You don't even have to laugh. I don't want you to laugh unless you want to. Or unless you laugh involuntarily. That's the best kind.
Tuesday, April 16th, the Lyric Hyperion in Los Angeles. Be there. It's the only thing in Los Angeles that night worth doing.

What if the very things you think you can't control are exactly where your power lies? On this episode of Medicated Minutes, we challenge you to rethink the inevitability of life's events and the importance of personal responsibility, all wrapped in Emerson Dameron's signature humor and wit. We kick off with a passionate monologue that tackles these existential themes head-on, urging you to embrace life's chaos rather than resist it. From the ironies of trying to stop the unstoppable to finding freedom in the mundane, we present a philosophy that turns conventional wisdom on its head.
Can you love yourself without succumbing to the trap of fame? We then pivot to a deep-dive into the paradoxical dance between self-love and sadism, exploring how public attention can wreak havoc on mental health. By drawing parallels with historical figures and examining consensual sadistic practices, we illustrate the necessity of rigorous self-discipline and mutual respect for personal growth. This segment is a hard-hitting look at how embracing one's flaws and leveraging past pain can pave the way for true healing and transformation.
Finally, we explore the transformative power of shedding one's ego and embracing observational awareness. Through the poignant story of Scarlet Obscura, a Nova Scotian artist seeking meaning in Los Angeles, we emphasize the importance of creativity and curiosity in understanding both ourselves and others. This narrative serves as a testament to the power of art and self-expression amidst life's unpredictability. Tune in to discover how you can harness creativity, humor, and empathy to navigate the chaos of existence and find deeper meaning in everyday life.

Through 2019, I had a premonition that things were going to get gnarly. Then I had an ego meltdown experience. And then the pandemic happened. Hang out with me as I talk through it, reassemble some of the pieces, and consider what might help when everything you believed turns out to be wrong.
