"Stand clear of the closing doors please"

Welcome to my new blog. mainly this blog will contain some random stories about my daily commutes and other stories that I think are somewhat entertaining and/or worth sharing. On those days when simply typing out a narrative won't do something justice, I'll probably put up a drawing. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

SLACKER!

So...I hate to make excuses, but this past week has been pretty busy. Bridget and i were in a reading of Kelly Nichol's new musical "Ten Reasons I won't Go Home With You" which was just accepted into The Midtown International Theatre Festival. Not sure if we'll get the opportunity to be in that production but the reading was a blast and I really think Kelly has written something special.
I'm also currently rehearsing a production of "Working" which is being coproduced by The Attic Ensemble and The Theatre Company. Two great companies that I've had the great pleasure of working with previously. The show is a lot of fun and Director Billy Mitchell has put together a very talented group of actors and actresses.

Last Friday I went to see Wilco with my buddy Ben in Mont Claire, NJ. This is my second time seeing them live and I have to say they are one of best live shows. Thanks to Ben for the ticket!




Matt Hughes fights this Saturday in Abu Dhabi against another legend of MMA, Renzo Gracie. I know Matt will do well and my buddy Matt McDowell (nicknamed Boomer) has travelled out there this week to lend his support. I have had the priviledge of meeting Matt a couple of times and he treated me, my wife, Boomer and another friend to sushi in our neighborhood last time he was in NY.
Super nice, down to earth,  guy and 9X UFC welterweight Champ. Go get em Matt!

I'll update again this weekend and hopefully have some time to post a picture or something:)

I GOT A NEW UKULELE!

This week I turn 34 and my amazing wife treated me to a new ukulele (concert size) from Metropolis Music in Jersey City, NJ. My friend Mark Dalzell owns the store and has promised a ukulele jam is in our future. Mark's band: The Smoove Sailors recorded a song I wrote with Billy Mitchell called "Jersey Born" for his (Billy's) production on "Bartholomew Fair, NJ".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wva0_PTa3ss
