So, immediately after I finished listening to the This American Life story about how Peter Segal’s screenplay about the Cuban revolution became Dirty Dancing 2; Havana Nights, I got a message saying that a script I wrote six years ago has finally received financing. Don’t start composing the email asking me for money, the production company bought me out years ago, so I have not received financing. Still, work of mine going on to the next step.
Speaking of which, tomorrow I make my Moth Podcast debut. They will be playing the story with which I won my second GrandSLAM, so be sure and check that out.
Then come see Cyndi and I as we launch our new show, The Standard Issues at Pacific Standard. We have a fantastic line up this month with Jim O’Grady, Jeff Simmermon, Daisy Rosario, Miguel De Leon, and Joanne Solomon. That is on Tuesday night at 8:00, $5 at the door.
Then on Thursday I will be doing Jenna Brister’s The Third Wheel at The Belleville, corner of 5th and 4th in Park Slope. This show is free and it is at 7:30 and I will be joined by Peter Aguero and Selena Coppock.
Last but not least, I created a new page on the blog with sample chapters from the book and you can check those out here.
