Mr. Brown

I have known Curtis Brown for close to twenty years. He is one of my favorite people. For reals. He is super smart, really sweet and funny. He doesn't take himself too seriously. He can make me feel so special - you know, the rare type that just makes you feel really good when you are around them, like a happy pill. I am lucky to know him.
Over a decade ago, Curtis introduced me to Otis N' Dwayne. A few years later, he introduced me to Dylan, his childhood BFF, Captain and co-creator of ON'D. Curtis is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
I have been gathering Bios for our website, press kit, etc. and after only a half a year or so of begging, Mr. Brown delivered. I am not going to make you wait that long. Here it is:
Curtis Brown is a Cambridge-based crank, college professor, and literary manqué.    He was educated at Berkeley and Harvard.  He has written feature articles for Bidoun Magazine, the Beirut Daily Star, and the Harvard Crimson; and his countless irritable letters to the editor have appeared in the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, the London Review of Books, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, and the San Francisco Chronicle.   He has taught literature at Berkeley, Harvard, Stonehill College, and Haigazian University in Beirut, Lebanon.  His former students include Natalie Portman, and Graham Sack, the human child lead in Dunston Checks In. 
Brown’s creative collaborations with Dylan O’Neil date back to 1985, when they were thirteen.   Otis ‘n Dwayne was written on the porch, on the toilet, and in the shower of the Oakland squat the two of them shared in the late ‘90s.
