Well that was epic! (Who needs a drink?)
And it was pretty damn fun. And I never knew a mosh pit could come together so quickly in a movie theater, but hey, it’s Vox Lumiere Metropolis and as this lovely gentleman said… “I felt like I was baptized.” Yeah, coming to the show is a lot like getting baptized, except you don’t […]

We broke the Boombox
We broke Scott’s boombox. Sure he’s had it since the night after he saw “Say Anything” in 1989, but that’s not the point. We broke Scott’s boombox and we feel bad about that. Sure, it weighed 40+ pounds and OSHA Regulations required at least two people spotting you if you wanted to lift it above […]

That One in a Million Chance
No, I’m not talking about winning the lottery, or being struck by lightning, or getting some high quality footage of Bigfoot in the Easter clearance aisle at Walgreens, although I’m pretty sure that’s who I saw yesterday and they have a real sweet tooth. They didn’t leave me even one box of 30% off purple […]

Do Evil Robots dream of Evil Robot Sheep?
We’ve been doing a lot of “weeding” lately. Not garden weeding. I don’t have that problem. I live in New York City (for now). But I didn’t have this problem when I didn’t live in New York City, because nothing in any garden that has been so unfortunate as to have me as an owner […]

Is a butt a real unit of measurement for wine?
I was looking for that special headline. The one that would grab your attention and make your index finger twitch with anticipation of clicking your computer mouse or tapping your phone to dive into the magic that is our weekly quality email time together.

Ist das Ihr Maschinenmensch?
Ist das Ihr Maschinenmensch? It’s a question you’re gonna hear more and more. As you’ve probably noticed, there are a LOT of Evil Robots running around these days and it’s only fair to ask who the hell they belong to. It’s hard to tell sometimes. Metropolis director Fritz Lang figured out how to do it. […]

You were supposed to buy a charm to keep the evil spirits away from the kids
“You were supposed to buy a charm to keep the evil spirits away from the kids.” ~ Someone in New York The things you hear on the streets of New York. There’s so much to unpack here. It’s a bit out there even by New York standards, but with all that’s going on lately… maybe […]

How You Can Help – LA Fires – Disaster Relief
Los Angeles was our home for over 25 years. It was where Victoria and I met, fell in love and where, with the help of our incredibly talented friends – musicians, singers, costumers, lighting designers, sound engineers, video designers and choreographers – we were able to take a crazy idea and bring it to life. […]

It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine.
Really. Everything’s… fine. We went to a big ass New Year’s party in a double wide brownstone on the upper west side. Yep, you read that correctly. Our hostess purchased the brownstone next to hers and opened it up. I get it. I mean, one brownstone always feels a little cramped to me. Hi <<INSERT […]

It’s that magical time of year again. That time when we all grab a hedgehog and head over to the tea party for the traditional reading of ‘Twas the night before WHO ARE Y8U? So string the lights up on the mushroom, hold that hedgehog tight and pour yourself a generous saucer of ‘tea’ as […]

I say it’s my birthday 🎂
I do say it’s my birthday. And it is. Today is my actual birthday. Well the actual birthday was [68] 69 years ago, but who the hell can even count that high, let alone remember the fireworks display and three days of drunken partying that took place in Lexington, Kentucky? Like many parties since, I […]

You’re 10 times more likely to be bitten by a New Yorker than a shark 🦈
I’ve lived in New York quite a while now, and I didn’t bat an eye when I read this. If asked, I might have guessed twenty to one. I’m not saying New York is dangerous. I can think of a lot of places that are way scarier. I just wanted to share cuz it seemed […]

Sloths don’t fart
I know, right? Who knew? Probably some of you (although I can’t imagine who), and trust me when I say, you do not want to be around a sloth when they belch*. Yep, sloths don’t fart, and flamingos eat upside down, so I don’t feel so bad knowing that there might be a few people […]
