Wow. The last four days of rehearsal have flown by and Hal Brooks (Production Supervisor) and I have accomplished quite a bit in a short amount of time. Tony Lepore my stage manager since 2004 is now on board and it's great to have him back. Good people are hard to find and even harder to keep so I'm counting my blessings. Yesterday after rehearsing for most of the day I did a promo tv spot for Current TV. We shot some footage at rehearsal and all around Greenwich Village. We also went down to Times Square to shoot some B-Roll and do an interview. It was great fun but believe me when I say I fell asleep at 9pm that night. I'm sitting in a Barnes & Noble on the Upper East side near my apartment. Having problems with the internet connection at my place - actually there is no internet connection at my place but Erich and his team are on top of it. Cris and Kate (Company Managers) have been working their tushies off making sure everything is done so I'm grateful for their support. We have two full days of tech rehearsal and then we really start to get busy. How did we survive before the Internet? (I'm asking that as if there was internet when I was a kid) As I tried to find an internet cafe it became sort of frustrating because there aren't many here. The first one I came across was in the most unexpected place. Burger King. I kid you not. Only in New York can you clog your arteries and check your email simultaneously. Although my diet has changed significantly since signing the NY deal (a brother LOVES his food) I know I'm going to love this place. Onward and upward. Whopper with Cheese, some fries, and one Internet Explorer please. Next step - Friday Sept 26th. The previews begin! And yes, I'm YOUNG enough to remember the world before the Internet. We had the library and the Dewey Decimal system. I can't believe I just said that.
