Some fun stuff arrived in my e-mail today:
First:
"...I came across your story "Daddy Left Me Alone With God" and I was absolutely blown away by it...,my question is: Would you agree to let me use your story as a basis for my short film?
...I will give you full credit as author of the original story and if the film gets into festivals then, who knows, it may lead to something. Of course I will let you have a DVD of the film once it is finished. I hope you are agreeable and will let me use your wonderful story in this way. I look forward to hearing from you.

So that was a nice thing to wake up to.
Next, a couple of days ago I mentioned that there's a great radio station, 89.7 WNKU with an outrageously brilliant taste in music disc jockey named Jeff Menke who does a show every Saturday night at midnight called Rainbow Bridge. He sent me an email today as follows:
"Robin and all,
I think I have a pretty good show prepared for tonight and hope you can listen in. Beside the Lennon/Zappa song, there's Argent, Oingo Boingo, Billy Cobham (for Eric), King Crimson live from 1982 and more. I may also play an Adrian Belew tune with his band from the 1960's, The Denems"
Yep, you'd better believe I'll be listening in at 12:00 a.m. He also wrote to me in a prior email that "I plan to play Cold Turkey performed by John Lennon and Frank Zappa and The Mothers this weekend from the Fillmore in 1969 in your honor."
Here's the link to listen live. And I bet if you're really into the music, Jeff won't mind if you call him up and say Hi.
Okay, still waiting on some news, still writing up a storm, and currently contemplating whether it's finally safe to eat something other than toast or oatmeal for dinner tonight.
P.S. The photo I posted today has something to do with Daddy Left Me Alone with God and that's all I'm saying.
Later,
xo
listening to Jeff Menke play COLD TURKEY for YOU right this very second!!! WhooHoo!!
ReplyDeleteoh, and i wrote a 6-word memoir too! "Meditate on this; loneliness always sucks."
ReplyDeleteCool. That's awesome about the possible film prop Robin! Glad you are feeling better too!!
ReplyDeleteHey...I feel really awful about this but I was so sick that night I missed it and Gary can't work the computer by himself so he was all upset that he missed it because he couldn't wake me.
ReplyDeleteGreat 6 word memoir! I wish they'd update their website, don't you? (but only if it includes us, ha ha)
Tickle, I'm finally feeling better but I have to ask you a question: Did you send Omar Cruz to me?
