When Virgos Attack!

Yes yes, the whole lot of them. This past weekend kicked my ass - and ive had weeks of conditioning! Birthday party hopping was in full effect. Let's review, no?
First up, the vonderful Lichiban. If it looks like the 5 of us took over the entire restaurant its because out of the 7 tables at A Bistro....5 of them inhabited a birthday girl or boy.

It got intense. Chefs included.
Some consider this typography.....next up: we head over to give Bday Boy Chuck a congratulatory hi-5.

This is the very first thing that happened as soon as Bahareh jumped out of the cab in front of their door: CRASH!
Unfortunately, we could stay long enough to celebrate in proper fashion. we had more hopping to do, knawmean?!

We then wobble-walked to Jeannie's bday celebration in Alphabet City 'round midnight. The party, as you can imagine, was already far ahead of us on the self-sedation train.
And that's a wrap! Happy Consecutive Birthdays, buddies.

Ali Reza and the Rezas

Today I got to watch the preview of the comedy series I co-wrote with some great people back in Norway. It was the strangest feeling cuz I didn't go to any of the shoots and this is the first time I get to see my lines on screen! Wow. It is also weird to know exactly what scene from what episode they are showing in the preview without actually having seen the show yet....and the only reason I know is because I wrote the damn thing. Wow. TRULY a dream come true. I don't even have any jokes about it yet. Unless you count how many times I've already watched it as a joke. And I'll understand if you do.

Sorry, no subtitles yet, I think we're saving that for the DVD. Ha... I wrote scenes for a tv series that will become a dvd with subtitles... Wow.

(I can't upload the video, so please check it out here for a sneak peak)
