It’s been over 100 degrees in New York.

I spent two marathon weeks here mapping out the new draft of WanderLust with Ken, pretty much without a break except to sleep.  Well we walked around the Gay Pride street fair and got a smoothie one day, and I did go to Our Town one night which I loved. Michael McKean was awesome. Played squash once. Did some casting sessions. Lots of phone calls and other meetings. But mostly Ken and I sat in my not-very-well air conditioned office pouring through thousands of notes from producers, studio and friends. We then emerged with a “beat sheet” that we could use to communicate to all concerned what the story will now look like.  Okay full disclosure we did go out to 8AM breakfast each day at a different restaurant – that part was pretty fun.

Finished last week by seeing a screening of The Kids are Alright, beautifully co-written by my oldest friend (since infancy), Stuart Blumberg.

Spent July 4th weekend continuing to work with Ken via Skype but physically in Chautauqua, New York with my sisters and brothers-in-law and nieces and nephew and dad and wife and son.

Meanwhile our production office down in Georgia has been officially set up and our staff down there continues to grow in size.  I can’t wait to be there and work with everyone in person although I can’t imagine how hot it must be there. I just hope they have good breakfast places.

My mind is so overwhelmed and overloaded by this process, I come home and take guitar lessons on YouTube just to shift gears. This lasts about 10 minutes before I pass out.

By the end of the production perhaps I will be able to properly play “Fire and Rain.”

Oh and last night I watched the very hysterical 3rd episode of Louie

8 weeks till shooting…

PS – don’t forget Childrens Hospital debuts this Sunday at 10:30 on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.  The first five weeks are “Season 1″ AKA the original web series; then the new jumbo “Season 2″ episodes begin after that.

Childrens Hospital is a live action drama (stupid comedy) about a bunch of sexy (stupid) doctors who strive to cure illness in kids (have sex with each other).  I’m a writer, director, executive producer and occasional guest star on the show!
