was it something I said?

With his mother? When I lived in CA, the Oakwood was an apartment complex that catered to actors during pilot season — mostly child actors & their moms. He came full circle. Sadness.

ma che cosa succede al di là dei vetri?
Non parlo italiano, ma — is that a green penis on a windowsill?
Grazioso!

I used to perm my hair because I was so lazy I didn’t ever want to have to do ANYTHING to it except add product & let it dry on its own. I don’t get perms any more but I do wear headbands a lot. I still don’t know how to properly operate a hand-held hair dryer.
Yes, I am aware this is a ridiculous & awkward pose. But I could whine with the best of them.
The full-service talent agency where I worked in the late 90s was what they refer to in The Business as a “boutique agency” — small & specialized. We only represented stand-ups when I first arrived although we quickly expanded to handle sketch comics — and one lanky, humorous contortionist/mime (who booked more jobs than anyone else on the roster) — as well.
The guy who co-founded & co-owned the agency covered half hours (sitcoms) and stand-up specials, and we had another guy who only booked personal appearances; I was responsible for commercials, films & one hours (dramas). I mentioned before we only represented comics, right? Since they’re generally not known for their strong dramatic chops & most of them felt commercials were way beneath them I totally would have starved if I’d been on commission.
Also: stand-ups are just as whiny as actors, but at least they’re funny while they’re doing it.
As a former commercial agent, I wonder. How do you spin that phone call?
“You’ll be in a band, so that’s cool, right?”
He’s at Cap City tonight & tomorrow night (with Graham Elwood) & will be hosting the SXSW Interactive Awards on Sunday night… go see him!!
Part of a care package.
Yum.
jessibelboobstein asked: Sounds like strep. It stared with a sore throat with me and grew into a fever and hell on earth. Sorry you feel yucky and you only sounded borderline ridiculous. =)
Thanks. I think it got better as the morning went on. I hadn’t done much talking for 3 days, I was rusty. :)
