SHORTBUS by John Cameron Mitchell is OUT!
THE PLAGARIST - a film I'm co-staring in is on hiatus.
OUT OF THE FOG - I've finished shooting the independent feature.
Hey Carl - your interests make it seem like we were separated at birth! (Well, minus the martial arts thing – I did judo for 6 months and Kendo for 6 months, and that’s IT. I think I went home crying. I know, I know. How butch.) But our music tastes are definitely similar! If you’re able to make it to one of my live shows, you should shout out a request for Lil’ Kim “Big Momma Thang” or Missy Elliott’s “Work It,” as I occasionally perform my own folkified version of those two songs. And I’ve been getting back into Spoken Word myself (took a little departure to immerse myself in World Music and folk-pop) but doubt I’d be able to do it justice. I feel naked without a guitar or piano in front of me.
Btw – I’ve spent quite some time today looking through your page and blogs, and all I can say is “holy sh*t, you’ve accomplished so much for just 23 – how the f*ck do you do it all?!?!” I assume you NEVER sleep, for starters ;-) And you still manage to look all rested and fresh in your photos. Amazing. Anyways, thanks much for inviting me to your MySpace page! I’m insanely busy right now trying to book a West Coast tour, but if there’s an opportunity to collaborate, it would be an honor to do so!
I miss you so much Carl. I didn't realize how big of a whole is in my life because you're not there everyday. I love you so much and wan't you too so badly come out and visit me. No sleeping on the couch either, you're my cuddlebuddy for life.
Thank you for the e-friend request! I appreciate the support.
