    dispatch from a brother named chad:

    I am reading Bergman's "Images: My LIfe in Film" and i found this nugget:

    My play opens with an actor walking down into the audience, where he strangles a critic, then reads aloud from a little black book all the humiliations he has noted therein. Then he throws up on the audience, after which he exits and puts a bullet through his head.

    I like the phrase "when all that's left is sandwich wrappers." As you'll notice from you inbox, I sent your link to this story out to a writer's group that I'm currently hanging around. Hope everything is going well for you. Things are pretty fun in SF.

    Hey there!
  • Mar 3 2008 4:59 AM

    I think of you often. But especially when I pass a KFC (remember the chicken at the after party in Reno?) or a Dairy Queen. Also classier establishments like the Blue Goat and Alamo Street. Also every time you get published.
    Props on the featherlight pub!!!!
