Putt Putt Lean

It's finally here:

It's all thanks to Venk and Kyle and Damon at Rareform Films in LA (rareformfilms.com). They truly outdid themselves with the quality and it shows in the final product. Matthew's Beat worked out great. Space Ribbon was great, and all the extras were awesome.

Who would have thought a shoot on a blistering hot day at a mini golf course in The Valley would have been so fun. I can't believe how good the location was-way to go, Venk! I only wish we had time to go-kart afterward. But, really look at how detailed those sets are in every shot. That old western town, the castle, the victorian mansion in the graveyard. Brilliant. Who builds these things? Only the most intelligent people.

Speaking of intelligent people, I'm at Harvard today. Finally. It only took me 26 years to make it to the campus. I might even attend a lecture today, or at least say that I did.

Lots of Homeless around here. It makes that Joe Pesci film so much more believable.

Work is going extremely well. I'm half way done with this contract, which has been fantastic thus far. I'm in Boston every Friday, and spend half the week in Bermuda. What? Unreal.

Our shows are going pretty well. I think the Boston crowds are the best audiences, and are so consistently supportive and encouraging.

I do feel bad though. After our shows last night, this older gentlemen, Bill, approached me to say that he enjoyed the show, and that he and his wife recognized me from one of our European shows. I have not done any of the European tours, but he was so insistent and so nice that I could break it to him, seeing as though there were only about 8 hours left in the cruise.

He was like, "Oh, wow! We haven't seen you in over a year...How are you? How was the rest of your tour? So good to see you performing again, we really enjoyed it!"

I don't know who he thought I was, but I will say this: I have been mis-recognized at least twice before on my other contracts. I must just have that generic look going on.

Speaking of generic, anyone remember this old treasure...?
