To the editor:
[I am writing] in reference to your article about “Don Slovin’s
Jamprov, an improv show you can really get into” (“Jamprov
blues,” GO Brooklyn, Oct. 9). Thank you so much for bringing
light to my plight. I didn’t realize how much of an s.o.b. I am.
I was hoping when I get out of Jamprov Prison (see the picture), I might
be involved in an (enforced) exchange work program. I will be glad to
learn all there is about journalism in two hours as long as you say it
slowly and patronizingly.
Maybe I could be a writer-for-a-day? Huh? What do you think?
Please send response (and lots of money) to Don Slovin Legal Defence Fund
at Cupcake Prison, inmate #J A M P R O V aka Simon of L’Gree.
Compared to me, Martha is a sweetheart and I have the tattoos to prove
it. He-he-he.

afternoon for us all.
I found a review about the play [“Hero

can be), but the author must have seen a different show.

noted she forgot to mention the General Slocum. I guess the death of nearly
1,000 women and children didn’t fit into her paradigm.
