Take what you get

My dream is to walk into the ceo of HBO and hear this, but for now I'll take this. Here is a conversation between me and a very nice gentleman after a show at a bar.

patron- Dude I want to talk to you, u got a minute?

me- sure

patron- OK, first off I want to say I'm a window washer. And I wash like windows for all the rich apartments on the upperwest side.

me-ok?

Patron- yeah, but u have to understand they treat me really well. like they don't look at me like a window washer.

me- ok?

Patron- So what I'm saying is like I know these people and I don't want to sound like... but there are some rich fucking jews. I mean rich jews.

Me- well i'm a jew with no money.

Patron- Well what I'm saying is you, what you do, you are destined for stardom and I want to help you.

Me- thanks, I appreciate it.

Patron- So when these guys have parties cause again they dont treat me like the window washer.

Me- yeah, aww, thats great.

Patron- so i'm going to have you meet them and shit.

i make a beautiful woman

So i'm doing a sketch video of a parody of Sex And the City. i will be playing Carrie in drag and i have no idea how i will look. hopefully we can get some pics on this of me in a dress or tu-tu. Three of the four girls will be played in drag save for Charlotte. So they audition all these hot chicks to play her. One of the scenes they have to show compassion towards Carrie and these girls start touching me and rubbing my hair. I'm in charactar pretending that it doesn't effect me. But goddammit. it feels damn good. Its the most action I've gotten in about two or three months. Then the girls leave the audition never to be seen again. Just when I thought there was some sort of connection. Actualy they seem all married. i check for rings.

We film next week and I think the script is really funny. Only embaressing thing is renting Sex and the City in my Brooklyn neighborhood. But I studied all of Carrie's mannerisms. I really think its going to be a great experience. Just hope I don't get picked up.

Also from feb 24-27 and March 3-6 a short play I wrote will be performed. I'm excited. Its actualy somewhat serious material. Don't want to tell the plot but I saw a rehearsel and I think its going to be quite good. I just gave myself a pat on the back.

And of course this Friday night at Jack Rabbit Slims, 10th between 1st and A, there will be a killer comedy show. Please come all.


Ok, enough plugging. I feel so shameless, but I got shit to share with everyone. Later this week, I'll have Matty's FAQ blog. I answer a lot of the same questions all the time. And I'll be happy to answer em.

Baseball season is coming up and I'm so glad that the Red Sox are bashing the Yankees. Its a strange role reversal. I get knocked around a lot in life and I feel like the underdog. Things are going to change. I watch the 2004 highlight video almost everynight before I go to sleep. It never gets boring. Sox open the season in the Bronx. I can't wait.

catch y'all soon.
