Seeing #Wicked in #IMAX I got the urge to maybe sing along… but with the soundtrack to another movie. If you get the reference, post it the comments, but if you do you might out yourself as #OfficiallyOld — smile (PS I resisted the urge)

It seems the most exciting thing I did the last few weeks was see Toshikazu Kawaguchi ( @Kawaguchi.Coffee ), author of Before The Coffee Gets Cold and its sequels ( @BeforeTheCoffeeGetsCold_o ), when he visited Japan Society ( @JapanSociety ) to discuss his work, creative process, his favorite time travel movie, the differences in writing a novel vs. writing for the stage or for the screen, how he likes his coffee and graciously met his readers and autographed books because my GoPro app ( @GoPro ) put this highlight reel together automatically from camera roll. Sorry I haven’t posted much lately, but I’ve been reading. These books are great and are likely available in your corner of the world, if you should check ‘em out — smile

Yo, @RegalMovies don’t you think you’re taking these powered interactive seats a little too far? I know it was an extra cash grab for #Twisters, but who thought it was a good idea to present #ItEndsWithUsMovie in a theater with Buttkicker Recliners?!? — smile

Walking down the street in #NYC the other day @laurasfuchs and I cross paths and she asks if she can take my photo, which I was cool with because it’s much nicer to be asked than photographed on the sly. Affirmative consent rules!
