At this moment, I am sitting inside the Denver airport.
I've been here before, last time I went out west with Jon and Howie. It's a very western airport. Lots of cowboy accents and cowboy hats.
My flight got delayed this morning due to technical difficulties, personally I wish they had flown anyway and made it more dangerous. Gives me bragging rights when I get back home.
But because of the delay, I missed my connecting flight and have to wait 2 1/2 hours until the next flight out to Burbank. No biggie, I would have had to wait an hour anyway, for the original connecting flight.
So I used this time to begin work on the next short of mine. I got the rough idea from Howie, so thanks go out to him. It takes place in an apartment in LA, where 2 friends from home who grew up together live. One is packing up and moving back east to their hometown. The other is staying.
I'm interested in writing a "break-up" story without an actual break-up. They are not lovers, so they are not ending a relationship. Just ending a period of their lives. Break-ups always seem to be very one-sided, most often because the decision has been made by one mind. I want to really get into the head of how hard it is to actually break up with a person. Nobody likes it, especially not if it's with someone you generally care for in many ways. But the idea of a roomate moving out, being told as a break-up story, intrigued me. How do you tackle that emotion? Nobody "breaks-up" with their friends, but moving away is similar.
Anyway, just want to say again how much I'll miss everyone, especially my wonderful girlfriend Beth. I can't wait to see you out here! We're def going to Vegas baby!
And Howie, don't worry, I already know how to incorporate the farting machine. Seriously.

How's the arrival? When's the first week? Is there any other crass 4th grade toilet humor plotlines we can build your career around?

P.S. Watching Entourage 2nd season on-demand - I forgot how it used to not only be cool, but VERY good.
