Dia de los Padres
So sorry I haven't been updating more frequently, or even at all, but we're in the middle of moving and my thinking/writing time is limited. That's right. Moving. More details soon.
Meanwhile, I'm going to be in a show. I'd put the poster up, but the image is too large for this publishing program and I can't figure out how to make it smaller. The show is called "Dia De Los Padres," and it will be at Largo in Los Angeles on June 18. Performers include Jeff Garlin, Greg Fitzsimmons, Eddie Pepitone and, for some reason, me. The headliner, Dana Gould, has been hired by Warner Brothers to write the screenplay version of Alternadad. Muhammed is obviously smiling upon Alternadad. Dana Gould is possibly, next to Newt Gingrich, the funniest person I've ever met. Is "funniest" really a word? It doesn't sound like one. What about "parenting"? Is that a real word?
Regardless, I'm sure I'll figure out a way to accidentally demolish my professional relationship with Dana Gould. Is it wrong that I'm calling him five times a day? I don't always leave a message.

damn, you scored a Simpsons writer. I know you and Regina already have the whole thing cast, but please think about the young Harvey Keitel to play you.

Dana Gould is funny; I remember seeing his stand-up stuff in college. Your life appears to be in capable hands.
The office betting pool on who plays Neal is on. I got $10 says it's Jack Black.

It's gotta be Sean Penn, if only for the chin.

Howdy, Neal. Long time reader, first time commenter.
Congrats on the movie. Please use whatever influence you may have on the process to ensure that the movie trailer does not feature a montage of Elijah running around like a loon to Katrina and the Waves "Walking on Sunshine." Thanks.

Holy crapfly!
So, both the Largo calendar and Dana Gould's site say it's 6/18. I'm a gonna go look again to see if there's a ticket price. I want to go! Babysitting = $$, so it depends on if I can make the most of the evening with a chum, but I wanna go!

Or you and Elijah dancing to Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town."
Or some sort of crazy father-son bonding time set to Talking Heads' "Wild Wild Life."

For the love of god, don't let it be Ben Stiller.
Holy crap, it's gonna be Ben Stiller.
