Virginia and the Jumper

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. So beautiful, in fact, that I decided to skip the subway and walk all the way from my place on 45th to my audition on 19th.
And it happened again! Twice in one week! I was at the audition and ran into Virginia there (another buddy from the [...]

SAUL FRIEDBERG AT THE APOLLO – A short story

Fortunately, my writer’s block has ended. I went into my room and just cranked this out. I don’t know, after reading it, perhaps I should have used the word UNfortunately.
Anyhow, enjoy.

SAUL FRIEDBERG AT THE APOLLO
It was a Thursday evening and Saul Friedberg was as nervous as he’d ever been. All his life led up to [...]

The Big Blank Page

Last night was a little frustrating. Sometimes I want to write but I don’t know what. It’s been almost a year since I’ve written anything new (my series of short stories are still on this blog if you’re bored and want to do some digging) and I wanted to put something new on paper.
So I [...]

A Surprise on the Corner

Yesterday I went to the bank to make a deposit (I felt awesome depositing a $6.00 check!) and on the way back I experienced another New York first: I ran into someone on the street that I knew! It’s pretty goofy how happy it made me feel. Maybe because it was JT and Amy (fellow [...]

Um…This Might Be Controversial. But Not On Purpose

My sister Jaime was in town this weekend and we had a great time hanging out. I told her to bring her walking shoes, and it’s a good thing I did as we covered a lot of ground. When I showed her a map of how far we actually walked, she couldn’t believe it.
I picked [...]

How Sex Simplifies Things

I have a friend who just slept with a guy for the first time. They’ve only just recently met, never went out together but it didn’t take long for the two of them to hook up. She really likes the guy and is crushing on him., but she mentioned to me the other day that [...]

Coffee Idiots

Coming home from the library today I passed the corner of 7th and 42nd. At that corner is one of the smallest Starbucks I’ve ever seen. I never go there because there’s always a line and nowhere to sit. It’s very wee.
As I approached I saw a long line of people stretching out the door [...]

Return of the Vampire

I think maybe I’ve seen the sun a total of 5 or 6 hours this week. I’ve been living the night life (complete with glo-sticks) and partying all week long. Either that, or I’ve been standing around the last couple of nights on a movie set waiting for the cameras to roll.
Just finished a 4-day [...]

That’s A Very Specific Group of Protesters

Today in my adventures I passed by the Historical Library on 40th & 6th. Outside were 8 or 9 elderly ladies all wearing dark trenchcoats. They were holding a sign that read
WOMEN IN BLACK AGAINST THE WAR
Man, I miss my camera.

No Longer An Accomplice

Weird stuff.
Those of you who have been regular readers of my blog may recall me working with an improvisational tour guide scavenger hunt thing last season. I had a great time playing the role of “homeless guy on the Brooklyn Bridge” and after each show it was fun hanging out with the people who came [...]
