Bolt Blog

I’m currently on my fourth Bolt Bus journey between Boston and New York in as many weekend-days.  The in-bus wifi is slow, but steady, and before I plunge into another week of Boston-area chaos I thought I’d recap some notables from the last two weeks…

-Code Duello: Hamilton & Burr had a blast at The P.I.T. NYC.  Friday night’s theme was Separation of Church and State.  Saturday night’s was Shipwreck & the Underwater Kingdom.  Oh improv.

-Caught Three Hole Punch in their Wednesday night slot at ImprovBoston.  Four very talented ladies perform a longformy mix of improv, improvised songs, and sketch.  This Wednesday is your last chance to see the show, so get your butt out to see them.

-Bolt Bus is the Boston->NY commuter’s new hero.  As I mentioned, it has free wifi.  It also has extremely cheap fares and efficient travel times.  But best of all, it has consistently sassy drivers.  I can’t even summarize the amount of (playful, lighthearted) sass I’ve witnessed or been subjected to.  They certainly seem to be in better moods than their Greyhound/Peter Pan counterparts.

-I put the finishing touches on the production draft of “Unbalanced,” the teleplay we’re gearing up to shoot over the summer.  I’ve got a lovely team of talent comprising the core cast, and some solid, dependable visionaries on the crew.  There are still roles left to fill, both behind and in front of the camera, but we have enough of a foundation to get the production ball rolling.

And thus, the first month of 2009 speeds to a close.  If January is any indication, this year is going to be busy but very, very exciting.
