The Happening Or "Demonstrating"

My Manager Sold Her Firstborn to the WB
"I shall prevail!". Who said that? I'd like to know... because I ended up yelling such in an elevator (yes, I was by myself during this particular episode) after leaving my job at the Awesome Production Company a few moments...

Yup, Well I Got That Going For Me
9:21 AM my theatrical reps email me, call me... I get the messages at 10:35AM. As I had decided to walk to breakfast and not to take my laptop or phone with me. It'd be a quiet morning with my...

This little piggie
We remember it well, 1992, or at least the part where we did something we'd never done before and haven't done since: we walked out of a movie. Appearing at the box office ghostly white and trembling, we merely stuck...

Mighty morphin power players
