>I’m starting an eight week writing workshop today. I’ve taken a class here and there but usually just a one day thing. This will be a much longer investment in time and effort, so I hope work doesn’t get in the way of it. At the end of the workshop, we students will hopefully have a roughly 8 minute piece to read at a graduation show. I’m excited to have something new to perform since the five readings I’ve done over the last year and a half have been the same piece just tweaked a bit each time. The last time I read it was at the People’s Improv Theatre and was awesome. I felt like I had tweaked it perfectly and performed it in a way that was fitting of me and the subject matter. Now I can move on to another story and hopefully get it in top shape to get that same feeling. What a rush!

My long term “plan” is that I can merge the two pieces together along with another 8 or 10 minute story to creat a one person show of sorts. I put “plan” in quotes because it’s not really a hard and firm plan just an idea — I don’t even know if I actually want to do a one person show of any kind, but it’s good to have something to aim for I suppose. Either way, I am excited about class, meeting the other students and working on something new. I think I’m going to craft the story about smuggling in Juicy Fruit to Dad in jail, getting busted and him ratting me out. That’s a sure fire funny tale. It will either be that or the Marvin Zindler blog entry about Dad trying to kill my mom. I definitely need help in telling that part of the story. I want to find just the right places for laughter without ruining the real drama and also make sure it doesn’t come off as melodramatic.

Blah, blah, gotta get my school supplies together! Oh, and Christian’s shows at Gotham are going so great. He has three more shows tonight and one tomorrow so go check him out if you can. He’s so awesome!

>After “Scene Change” and a 15 hour work day, I was beat. It was too late at night to take the subway alone and the taxi strike meant no one wanted to pick me up for a trip to Queens. So I slept on Molly’s couch and went to work yesterday in the same suit I had on the day before. I would have happily gone home after waking up but I had to meet with the head of XM’s programming & production. He was overseeing production of another event we had called “Unmasked” featuring Ron of “Ron & Fez” interviewing Jeff Garlin. Jeff was pretty funny which you’ll be able to hear for yourself on XM in a few weeks once the final edit is complete.

Tonight I’m having dinner with a childhood friend. His parents grew up with mine at the deaf school in Oklahoma, and my brother & I grew up with him and his sister. The eight of us, at one time, were inseparable. His mom and sis came to my and Finny’s wedding, but I haven’t seen him in years. I can’t wait to tell him about “ASL in the Raw,” the show by and for the Deaf that I’m promoting this November…maybe he’ll come back to NYC for that one. I’d love to take him and his partner to a movie premiere I have tickets to for tonight but it’s not closed captioned for the Deaf. Instead we’ll chill in the Meatpacking District and catch up on each others lives. That’s much better in my book! Finny flies home from LA today and is so cool that he’s going to cab it straight from the airport to which ever restaurant we choose. (Flight cancelled so he’s going to be a surprise guest in Buffalo on Mike Birbiglia’s “Secret Public Tour” with Comedy Central.) He’s so awesome and unselfish. Christian won’t complain too much though as I know he is going to LOVE my old friend. He’s quite a character.

No luck or progress on the precinct / 311 / parking on the sidewalk business. It’s very disconcerting and frustrating to know that you can’t do anything because of red tape, passing the buck and bureaucracy. Dealing with the precinct has been very disconcerting and is more worrisome than any car parking issue. The NYPD’s 114th Precinct has not gotten the memo about the motto: “Courtesy – Professionalism – Respect.”

—Kambri

>Amazing night! Even with a 28 person crew, 12 members of the press, 17 cast members, a long list of NYTVF VIP passholders, general public ticket holders and a show that was in the showroom prior to “Scene Change,” it went off without a hitch. Proctor & Gamble’s director and head of production were a dream and the TV pilot is sure to be a success, regardless of whether or not it’s picked up for broadcast. P&G gave me and Molly two beautiful flower arrangements, so we’ll have another week or so to be reminded of a job very well done. I think the NYTVF will happily work with us next year on another event. We’ll see.

—Kambri
I’ll be adding this one to my resume for sure!

>There is WAY too much going on in the next couple of weeks! Scene Change debuts tomorrow night at 10:30 as part of the NY Television Festival and is expected to sell out. Add a TV crew of 28 and the sketch groups and it’s a whole lot of moving parts. I’m excited but bracing for a long, tiring day and night.

Christian is headlining at Gotham Comedy Club next week, the 13th thru 16th to be excact. We’re hoping for good crowds as it’s his first time headlining a major comedy club for a whole weekend in NYC if you can believe that! He’ll be doing 45-ish minutes of almost all brand new material. No kidding, the fool has been writing up a storm, performing, tweaking and polishing a brand new set that is now really tight. We’ll be hanging out after the shows every night and hope to see YOU there!

For the rest of the scoop, check out The Latest Ballyhoo.

On a NON-producer / work related note: I have been calling 311 about a few local businesses parking cars on the sidewalk which is, accordingly, all beat to hell, cracked and buckled under the weight. This morning there were NINE cars. NINE! Nearly every morning I yell at the men gathered around said cars and wildly gesture to which ever vehicle is blocking the most space. I look them directly in the eye and they still don’t say a word. Because I’m dressed in heels and a suit? Because they don’t speak English? Because they know they’re breaking the law? All of the above? Tonight, due to the taxi strike, there were four policemen standing on opposite corners outside my building. I yanked out my iPod earbuds and asked them about the situation. Is is actually illegal? Yes. Does 311 help? You should call your precinct…it’s faster and they’ll respond. What’s my precinct? 114. So, starting tomorrow, instead of 311 I’ll be chatting with my local police precinct. I love our apartment and my view of the City. Why can’t my walk to the subway be just as pleasant?

—Kambri
There’s a killing to be made for whatever traffic cop gets to ticket all those cars all day, every day.

>I’ve been sick with a bad cold since Thursday morning so have been taking things fairly easy. That means lots of leisurely time at the lovely Astoria Park (home to the city’s largest pool and nary a tourist to be found) with books, crosswords and my anipals or at the movies. The Halloween remake generally stunk. I knew better than to see it, but I love a scary movie and am a Rob Zombie fan…well, his music anyway.

I remember seeing the original Halloween on opening night back in 1978. Yes, I was only seven, but that never stopped Mom from taking me and my brother to the movies plus we could interpret for her, if needed. It was a few days before the Halloween holiday so the theater was packed — not an empty seat in the house and some people even sat in the aisles. There is a reason John Carpenter’s version has had so many sequels: It is a masterpiece. The body count is low and there is very little blood or gory murder scenes, but the music coupled with the slow, steady build up of anticipation made the tension in that theater thick as morning fog. By the time Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode is panting in relief at having jabbed Michael Myers in the eye with a hanger only to have him stand up menacingly behind her unbeknownst to her, the audience was in a frenzy. No exaggeration, a FRENZY! We — and I mean the ENTIRE audience — were screaming at full velocity variations of, “Look behind you!” “He’s still alive!” and “RUN!”

I don’t know that there will ever be a movie that makes a whole theater feel that way again. Not that there aren’t good directors or stories to be told but that we, as a viewing audience, have been spoiled. I hope I’m wrong. I do enjoy a good horror flick.

—Kambri
I saw The Exorcist when I was four. It came out in ’73 but we rented it on reel to reel with closed captioning so watched it at home. Horrifying. But not as horrifying as “Carrie” which I saw when I was five.

>This is one of my favorite pictures of Dad taken Winter ’86 in front of our Toyota. It captures everything I love about him.

Dad taught me how to drive in this truck. Well, technically he finished teaching me what Mom had started. She wouldn’t let me drive the Toyota — it was the nicest vehicle we had ever owned and I was only 13.

>In part of my research for my book (Hehehehe! Woo!) I ordered the transcript from My Jailed Deaf Dad’s trial and punishment phase. I received it this morning and just finished reading it.

Big sigh.

It was very emotional and very interesting. I hope to write more over on Love, Daddy, which is seeing a huge surge in traffic due to being picked up on some Deaf sites. But, my GOD, it makes my heart ache for my mom, the teenage me, dad and, of course, Gloria*.

Time to hit the keyboards. Love, Daddy post to come soon, I hope.

>I just hit “send” on an email to my agent (HEHEHEE!) with my proposal attached. The whole mother fu*king kit and caboodle. Four days before the deadline I set for myself back in July. Now, the whole thing could be a disaster and I’ll have more three day weekends spent holed up at home alone but at least then I’ll have some editorial feedback from my agent (HHEEE! HEE!) now that he has it in his grubby little hands.

Picture of tiny, little, brave mice to follow once I synch my phone to my laptop.

>I received a 25 page letter (!@!%#$!!!) from Dad yesterday. While it’s full of great stuff, my Loved, Daddy blog entry isn’t all that entertaining…just an update, I guess. Christian is in Miami so I’ve been hunkered down in my apartment writing my proposal, researching and reading a lot so not much fun to report. Unless you count having two mice come into my office reeeallly close to my bare feet as I was typing at my desk.

The first was so silky and shiny brown and tiny and cute that I just watched it for a few minutes. After I lifted my feet, of course. EEK! It wasn’t too unlike Christian’s hamster Aretha. But then the other one came out and I thought, “Oh no, I can’t have this.” So I waved my hands around to make them see me and they didn’t care! It wasn’t till I screamed at them, “Hello?! You gotta GO!” that they skedaddled.

>Our first year anniversary was so lovely and perfect, just like our actual wedding day. We brunched at Cup like we did one year ago then headed to Astoria Park and played Boggle, read the Sunday paper and generally relaxed. We then walked over to Lil Bistro 33 in its new, far-from-our-home location and dined on our favorite menu items and topped it off with their scrumptious bread pudding. When we finally got home we were pretty beat but mananged more Boggle and ate our frozen since 8/12/06 wedding cupcakes. Not so good but certainly better than we expected.

Christian got me a new bottle of my favorite yummy smelling perfume “Serendipitous” from the famous restaurant Serendipity 3 and beautiful navy blue silk BCBG dress. He’s the best. Even better? He picked up my laundry today.

>One year ago today, Finnegan & I got hitched during the most awesome party ever — no joke, it was FUN and not stuffy or full of random strangers. We did it at Galapagos Art Space, a former mayo factory, and he & I came downstairs from their loft space and worked our way through the crowd to the main stage to the tune of “Head Over Heals” by Tears for Fears. The best wedding march song ever: great, dramatic opening piano/keyboard-y sound and the lyrics are great for schmaltzy romance, too.

For a laugh, here’s the toast I read from My Jailed Deaf Dad:

Tomorrow’s our 1st year wedding anniversary, y’all!

First off, you all are just awesome and creative and hilarious, too. I said this in my comment but it stands to be said again and again. You guys ROCK!

So, yeah, yesterday there was a tornado in Brooklyn and some crazy flooding in the subways as every New Yorker already knows. I just walked to Queensboro Plaza and hopped on the 7 train, no sweat. Okay, a lot of sweat, but no problemo. I was tempted to walk over the bridge so I could add “flood” to my list of reasons (9/11 and blackout)I walked to/from the City but I had a meeting to get to. Getting home after HipGuide.com’s 8th anniversary party was a bit of a buzz kill, though. I should have just hopped in a cab, which I eventually did do, especially at the late hour. Ding dong cheapskate took over for a spell. I gotta stop doing that: trying to save a buck when it’s super late at night and/or I know there’s potential bad subway business.

Tomorrow marks the last day of a nutso busy week. I’m looking forward to the weekend and getting back to writing the “Silent but Deadly” proposal. Oh, man, Kirsten, that’s a winner!

—Kambri
I wish I had thought of that one.

>Can I just brag about my dog Paquita for a minute. Girl is six and half years old and she still learns new sign language. This morning I signed “coffee” as I’ve been doing with voice for about two weeks before putting her harness on and walking her to the deli for my regular morning java. Today I just signed coffee without any words and the girl went ballistic, excited to be going on the coffee run. She knows more signs than Christian!

So add coffee to the growing list that includes: Sit, down, roll over, go around (she turns around in a circle), play dead (I sign a gun pointing at her), wave, be cute (where she rubs her eyes with her paws), and lots of words not in sign language on top of that.

—Kambri Makes her mama proud.

>I knew this would happen, just not this soon. I feel overwhelmed and inadequate at writing even a *proposal* let alone a whole book.

Anyone have a suggestion on a title?

11:49 PM EDIT: Okay, I’m better. It was a stressful, very long day that I’m glad is winding up. I’m not so freaked out about my proposal since my last entry, thankfully. But I’d still welcome any suggestions for a title. I’m kind of stuck on thinking of plays on words having to do with sign language since that really sets my story apart from other memoirs. Whatever. I’m sick of me so I can imagine how YOU feel.

I’m tired and busy and August SUCKS for comedy. I wish I were in LA with Christian with all our friends who seem to be moving out there in droves. He’s there doing an important showcase as I type this and I’m just wasting time for that three hour time difference to catch up so I can at least talk to him before I fall asleep. He’ll be home Saturday so we can spend Sunday, our one year wedding anniversary, together in the park with Paquita. The way things should be more often.

Yeah, I’m in dour mood. Even feeling better about my proposal, I’m still dour and fed up.

—Kambri
How are YOU by the way?

>Summer television is dreadful so I’m thankful that I never watched Dexter until now. On demand. Back to back to back to back episodes about serial killing and forensics. Hog heaven.

I just hit send to email my agent (heeeeehhheeeee!) the first few (easiest) pieces of my proposal.

This is a new sketch comedy show I’m producing at Comix premiering on September 6th as part of the New York Television Festival and sponsored by Proctor & Gamble. P&G PEOPLE!

Drinking wine and checking ticket sales on the benefit show I’m producing starring John Oliver from the Daily Show. Did you buy your tickets yet?!?!

>Thanks to the eagle-eyed Stacy (who I just happily met at the Laff Stop in Houston), we know the name of the murdered bartender from Conroe that my mom silently wondered if My Jailed Deaf Dad killed. Stacy actually found the info through the very link I provided in my earlier entry:

Anyone know how I might research such a thing? I Googled 2854 San Jacinto River Murdered but it yielded other results. The possible hit & run is too broad to even begin a search.

Turns out that link wasn’t useless. Third result down is this site. You have to scroll down the very bottom before coming across an article from the 6/25/85 Houston Chronicle that includes this excerpt:

Eason said his office is also investigating whether Ward could have been involved in the strangulation of a Conroe barmaid in September. The body of Brenda Maureen Hackett, 25, was found under a railroad trestle near FM 2854 by a train conductor. Hackett had been sexually assaulted before she was strangled with a stocking.

So there it is. Pretty much exactly as Mom remembered minus the San Jacinto River part since the SJR doesn’t actually run under that bridge or road that I can tell. The “Ward” in the article was a man who was suspected in her murder but killed himself in Las Vegas. According to my Mom, though, Hackett’s ex-husband from California was charged.

So, I feel confident* that the police investigated the matter thoroughly enough to have excluded Ward and pinned it on the Ex Mr. Hackett. Dad just happened to know her.

—Kambri

>I’m spent. Emotionally and physically spent. It was a GREAT time spent with Christian. One night we hung out with Stacey (pre-order her book!) and an old family friend. My mom used to babysit him and he and his sister used to babysit me. Then there was the mini-reunion of me and a few friends from Elementary/Jr. High/High School. That was a load of fun and a nice reminder of just why I love Montgomery so much.

And then yesterday, of course, there was the four hour visit with My Jailed Deaf Dad followed by a nearly three hour dinner “interview” with my mom. Yesterday was overwhelming emotionally — a lot of painful memories and domestic violence mixed in with such fond memories of my life there. A complex oxymoron. Just as I was thinking I need a few days to recover before I get back to the business of writing, I get a phone call from a literary agent. There’s no rest for the weary.

Maybe when I get back from the “Just for Laughs” comedy festival in Montreal I’ll be back to myself. That’s a lot of amazing comedy and networking with the biggest big wigs in the business in one weekend. If I can’t recover after a trip there, then I’m a lost cause.
