Yesterday, I released the script for episode #110. When I told Paul, he called me cruel for doing so without putting out #111 as well. The script went out at 8:00 p.m. last night and, between set-ups, the actors were huddled around their cell phones, reading. By the time I got home an hour later, there were a bunch of text messages awaiting me:
“YOU GIVE US 10 TO LEAVE US HANGING?!?!” (Alex Mallari Jr.)
“JoE!!!!!! What the hell!!!!!!” (Melissa)
“Aaaaaahhhhh” (Jodelle)
Wait ’til they read #111. And #112! Or – holy crap – 113! My life may be in danger after #113!

Yeah, but… Okay, round one goes to her.
The decorative white chocolate icing undermines their vegan-ness.
People are always asking: “Joe, how come we never see pictures of you on the blog?” The answer to that is simple. I’m way too busy. Taking picture of everyone else. As it so happened, yesterday, a couple of cast members managed to catch me in action…

Today, our unit manager, Robbie David (the guy who introduced me to Burgers Priest) introduced me to Centre Street Deli smoked meat. I had every intention of taking a photo – honestly – but through some strange, unexpected happenstance, ended up devouring it before I got the chance. Anyway, this is more or less what it looked like:
