Vampires. Werewolves. Zombies. They are all over television and film these days.
(Hey, I’m not complaining.)
But have you encountered…The Violin Monster????
I have. He was playing in the subway yesterday afternoon.
Now, it’s not that unusual to see musicians playing for change on the train platform. But a guy wearing a monster mask playing the violin?
It caught my eye.
He is a smart Violin Monster, too. Next to his open violin case — where the money was piling up — he had a sign advertising his website, ViolinMonster.com. It’s a fun read. The writing is straightforward and hilarious in spots. I recommend it.
And if you’re headed to New York City this spring, I hope you get to see the Violin Monster.
Heck, he might have his own reality show by then!
You do what you have to do these days to get noticed and make a living. And if reinventing yourself as a werewolf or vampire is it, then go for it. You hook yourself to the latest trend and you’re golden!
Gee, thanks for the excellent write-up! My brother filmed half a dozen or so videos while I was visiting him in New York. I will be releasing them weekly. And I will be monsterizing other cities in the near future…..
Wow — a comment from the actual Violin Monster!! That’s so cool. Welcome to The Sticky Egg!!
