Hollywoof - Update

Shit...a Google search shows I'm going to have to buy some fuckers out before I get going on Hollywoof.

Hollywoof

I'm cutting and pasting an IM conversation I had with rock star comic John Keating. This is my ticket to stardom, baby!

doublejj72: Kyle's still here
doublejj72: he's here until Tuesday...his Mom lives in N. Hollywoof
doublejj72: wood
RevTimmyMac: Ha!
RevTimmyMac: Hollywoof.
RevTimmyMac: I like it.
RevTimmyMac: A sitcom about animal actors and their agents.
RevTimmyMac: Let's do it.
RevTimmyMac: Get writing.
doublejj72: LOL
doublejj72: BRILLIANT
RevTimmyMac: We could sell that, easy.
doublejj72: lol sadly, yes
doublejj72: haha
doublejj72: I just don't want to write it
RevTimmyMac: Oh, sure. You're an "artist"
RevTimmyMac: Whatever.
doublejj72: nothing to do with art...I just have taste lol
RevTimmyMac: Don't come crying to me to get on the Hollywoof gravy train.
doublejj72: hahaha
RevTimmyMac: Seriously.
RevTimmyMac: Talking animals.
RevTimmyMac: Guest voices.
RevTimmyMac: This is going to be HUGE.
RevTimmyMac: Benji's going to be a total prick.
doublejj72: lol
doublejj72: yah I've heard about him...ass
RevTimmyMac: You can't see a hot young agent sitting down with his client...a raccoon..."I've got you an audition for Animal Cops...don't blow this..."
doublejj72: lol
doublejj72: here's a cookie
RevTimmyMac: And you know who's the biggest star of them ALL?
RevTimmyMac: Ubu.
RevTimmyMac: He's the fucking DeNero of Hollywoof.
RevTimmyMac: Nobody sits like Ubu.
RevTimmyMac: Nobody.
RevTimmyMac: He's a good dog.

Woo Hoo!

Just won my first game of chess against someone other than my computer over at Yahoo Chess. Take THAT, metsfan7833!

(P.S. Sean Lilly, if that was you, sorry to talk smack)

Just In Time

Timing is everything. Dave Wildman has written a great feature on the Geek Council. You can see Mr. Wildman tonight as he sits on Council...it should be a hoot.

All Good Things Must Come to An End

It's official: after tomorrow's Grand High Council, I am stepping down as host of Thursday nights at the Comedy Studio. It's been a good long run, and I'm proud of the work that came out of it, but what was once a challenge has become something of a rut, and I think the club and the night could use a nice shot in the arm, creatively speaking. Thanks to Ricky J for his support over the years. I'll still headline the occasional weekend and do plenty of spots, but it's definitely time for me to make way for the new wave.

Happy New Year!

I gave myself a nice long break from doing anything even remotely creative. I spent the last 2 weeks or so rolling around with Jude, playing Halo, eating recipes from my new Santa Fe cookbook, and making out with my kickass wife.

I spent New Year's in Orono, Maine at the Black Bear Inn. It was a fun show followed by drinking. Unfotunately, the best whisky they had was Jack Daniel's, so I took it easy, tossed down my champagne at midnight, and went back to my room. Nothing like waking up in a Best Western on New Year's Day with a 4 hour drive home in front of you.

My New Year's resolution is to get better at chess. Not a real sexy resolution, but after over a decade of stand up comedy, the logical side of my brain is completely limp, except for those sections that are absolutely pickled by booze (also a direct result of a decade of standup). I've always wanted to have the attention span to play chess, but so far am still getting my ass whipped by ChessMaster 6000 (could they come up with a gayer name?). If anyone out there wants to kick my ass in person and then explain what the hell just happened, let me know.

I also got some good Christmas loot. I made the mistake of letting my wife know how much I dig Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, so 95% of my presents were Product. I am one exfoliated motherfucker.
