About me:
"Fans of Tom X. Chao's trademark deadpan self-lacerating wit will be happy to learn that he's back in town with a new show. . . . At his best, Chao the writer has one of the most . . . off-kilter senses of humor in modern theatre, and Chao the actor (and his excellent supporting cast) know how how to put the material over for maximum impact."--NYTheatre.com review of The Peculiar Utterance of the Day: Live on Stage!, March 10, 2007

Hello Tom!

I hear from Richard Harrington that you work in Murray Hill. He and I were discussing this while having a coffee on 33rd and Park... Right where we BOTH work! So, why don't we all get coffee one of these days? It would be splendid to see you, especially while ingesting caffine.

Also, my birthday's on Friday. There will be dancing, drinking, and hot dogs. Come to Williamsburg, it'll be a good time. Email me for details.

Best,
Emily

Yo TXC, the truly compelling question of course is, am I naked in this one too?

And you open the door, and you step inside.

We're inside our hearts.

Now imagine your pain as a white ball of healing light.

That's right.

Your pain, the pain itself, is a white ball of healing light.
