Work Swag today - The Yiddish Policeman's Union. YES.

Going to see La Baranski in Boeing-Boeing tonight! YES.

Brittany is having a free reading of her play The Virgin, the Witch, and the Wardrobe next Wednesday night, with a networking wingding afterward. It's at the same middle-of-nowhere theatre where I just saw Ryan in Edward II. At ( Read more... )

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When I was in Seattle recently, I was impressed with the extravagant requests of three seedy-looking homeless guys downtown. Their cardboard signs made it clear they wanted far more than the usual alms. "Need cash to buy fuel for my Lear jet," read one. "Girlfriend needs liposuction--please help defray costs" and " ( Read more... )

Yesterday I slept in a bit- went to the Post Office to pick up a package, which turned out to be my Dynamite Ham Frank Loesser/Dr. Frank CD. It's just delightful. Stopped for breakfast at McDonald's, then got my hairs cut (not at the place I've gone the last 2 times, since they only had one hairdresser working at 10:30 am, and couldn't fit me in ( Read more... )

Poll Labels, sweetie, labels...

Bear in mind there will be a TV premiere afterward that they say will be red-carpet and dressy.

All I'm going to say about 9/11 is how horrifyingly cheesy the "news" coverage was this morning.  Everyone wearing black and looking sombre.  No news other than remembering 9/11, traffic, and weather.
The 10 Tenors (what?) sang some bizarre song about heroes that was so obvious it made me laugh, especially when there was a closeup on one of the ( Read more... )

Got a call from the coordinator of the pitch contest.  She said anyone who wants to come to the finals to support me is welcome, you just have to reserve seats.  It's next Thursday from 2-4 at the IFC Center (the former Waverly theater). She said seats are already going fast, so if you want to be there, reserve now.

So last night I got a call from the NYTVF:
LEAVE IT TO SULU MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!!!
They said they weren't able to determine whoall was definitely cheating, so instead of just the 10 "winners" (2 from each "day"), they picked 5 "wild card" pitchers, and I was one of them. I'll be pitching at the NYTVF next Thursday.

They E-mailed me this morning ( Read more... )

Dear Pitchers,

All voting will end tonight, Friday, at midnight PST/3 AM EST.  Thank you all very much for participating in the contest - and getting the word out.

To address some of your voting concerns - If it is determined that anyone used any sort of illegal voting program, that person will be disqualified and the winners of that day will ( Read more... )

Hi everyone! I am a semi-finalist in an online Pilot-Pitching contest, hosted by the New York Television Festival!

My idea is a Star Trek sitcom called “Leave it to Sulu”, which will take place in the Star Trek universe, but have sitcom themes and conventions. It’ll be like Cheers, ( Read more... )

Voting is still open on my Leave it to Sulu pitch until 3am Saturday morning, but you now have to go to "Wednesday" to vote for me.

Elias is in Thursday with "My Guardian Angelo", so vote for him, too! We're not directly competing yet, so we're supporting each other till we both win; then the knives come out.  He seems to be doing well, so far.
