Many good friends of mine, all super-talented individuals are involved in this new show: http://www.hateallyourfriends.com/ James points us to this interview of Larry and Jacob, the writer and director. Larry was the best man at my wedding. For our ceremony, I asked him to give a speech on friendship. I thought it was funny that the person I asked to represent me as my friend and speak on friendship now has a play going up called "What to Do When You Hate All Your Friends." I'm very excited to see it.

how it is

I had a nice but short vacation. We went camping in the Catskills and came back with smoke in our hair and a cooler full of water. Tomorrow I go back to work for two weeks. Then I'm off for two weeks. During that time I have a quick retreat at Bennington College with my play Incendiary which I'm working on with the LAByrinth folks. I also have to I have to pack up whatever in the house Kristen hasn't already packed for our big move to Minneapolis. (for a year. She got the Jerome, you see.) I plan to be back as much as possible and if things go well I'll be jetting off to a bunch of other places during the year as well. Also on monday I have to pitch my TV idea to my agent. wish me luck. I'm kind of terrified of the whole pitching thing. I like to just write things. So I'm back at work for two weeks, off for two weeks, must vacate my apt, go back to work for two days and then fly to MN. Anyone recommend good theaters in MN?
