Always looking for new adventures (and acknowledging himself, probably inciting them for writing material), Spalding Gray sits at a table and tells an audience about the time he bought an old cabin in the countryside, an impulsive buy. But Spalding realizes too late how old and primitive the house really is, requiring a lot of repair and maintenance in several areas, which dawn on him one by one as he lives through a frustrating week. Spalding also talks about going to LA to break into acting and the rigorous audition process he went through to star in a TV movie with Farrah Fawcett.
