State of the Union

Arthur Miller had said to the effect that the American president is above all else an actor.

The President the actor of the theater of America.

Watching the State of the Union, it is astounding to know this yet marvel at Obama's ability to create a reality where justice, love and belief alight in the mind and hearts of hundreds of millions.

Totally crying by the end.

I want to do what we did but better.

I want to work with actors I trust and build shows around their talent. Got Anna and Sebastian. Check.

SFO

I was in San Francisco visiting Scott, Tarak and my Boss after Christmas before New Years.

it was wonderful to be back off Hayes and divisadero. I went to green chile kitchen which was great but got the wrong burrito. Me and tha shah went to the conservatory of Flowers. Scott and his lovely lady Katie had me at their lovely home.

It was sad not to be there with Yael, but that is why we live in philly.

I had a flight out of town at 6am and was still drunk from drinking beer with scott.

I highly recommend the croissant egg and bacon from Max's near gate 25.

Don't waste my motherfucking time

It is January 2nd, 2012, I am watching Heat, drinking white wine.

I am getting back into shape for the 2012 season of Hella Fresh Theater at the Papermill.

We did okie doke our first full season. Two full lengths by me, a collaboration with Walking Fish Theater and Wild Punch with Josh McIlvain and Annie Wilson.

I want to do what we did last year but way better.

Roger Ebert had this to say about Heat-

It's not just an action picture. Above all, the dialogue is complex enough to allow the characters to say what they're thinking: They are eloquent, insightful, fanciful, poetic when necessary. They're not trapped with cliches. Of the many imprisonments possible in our world, one of the worst must be to be inarticulate - to be unable to tell another person what you really feel. These characters can do that. Not that it saves them.
