Urban Honking

I just spent the past two+ weeks in San Francisco and Chicago casting a new network show.We worked all day and all night and pretty much every minute that I wasn’t sleeping. Miraculously, the weather was gorgeous in each city while we were there. It was perfect spring weather…even in Chicago! It was 75 degrees […]

Fielding a craving, D Scott drove a fancy new Mazda to the nearest Sonic in rural Pennsylvania. I don’t know wtf he’s talking about wrt “Torque” and all those car-n-driver impenetrable slanguistics, but when he starts talking “bangin cherry lime aid,” I can really, really feel him.

I, too recommend Tube Time. It’s so fun. I’m a little bitter cuz last year I totally got erroneously bested by Kyle Smith in […]

Q&A with Jonathan Lethem: Yay He talks on his forthcoming novel, and making certain aspects of its fiction bleed into reality – making a phone number that works, having a band record songs from the book, etc – becoming “multimedia platforms” as it were – A fine impulse from a true-blue sci-fi nerd: “You can […]
