"To survive in this world, sometimes you must have the eye of the over-sized domesticated cat." - me My last blog post was on December 4th- I was ending the year of 2014 in arguably the prime of my life: confidant and wearing a moustache for the first time, standing...
My Pet Virus
Interview w/ Merce’s Charles Sanchez
A couple of weeks ago I blogged about Merce- a humorous web series that is centered around an HIV positive character living in NYC. I recently sat down with co-creator, Charles Sanchez... meaning, I sat at my laptop and fired him some questions and he sat at his and...
Interview w/ Books and Booze Podcast
I've been a bit quiet here in the blogosphere lately, mainly because I've been hard at work on new music and a screenplay for My Pet Virus. Last week I came out of my cave and spoke with the good folks at the Books and Booze podcast. You can hear the interview below!...
Blog of the Week
Yesterday I was crowned Charlottesville's "Blog of the Week". Most shockingly of all, I didn't bestow this honor upon myself. Marijean Jaggers of WCAV did. It was on the local news last night, check it out! (There's a brief 10 second commercial that plays before......
MyPetVirus.com Relaunch… Questions?
So I had a cold for about a week, which blew. But from that agony (it wasn't that bad) good things happened- I missed a terrible movie that I didn't want to see in The Knowing, and ate a lot of soup.I was trapped inside my home, body and mind. Which meant...
Not the Follow-Up to My Pet Virus
For a brief moment, I considered writing more funny AIDS stories for my second literary venture. With My Pet Virus' sales gasping at this point, I'm glad I opted to focus my creative energy elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, the book did well. The response has been...
Video Killed the Thinblood
Since My Pet Virus has come out, I haven't had one big, flashy media appearance... nothing! In these troubling economic times, I sure could use any opportunity to reach the masses through the television, to not only raise awareness about HIV/AIDS but to boost book...
Mega-Summer Blog!
I have been a lameduck blogger for the past week, and for that I do apologize. I've rendered myself culturally irrelevant on many fronts- I haven't even seen Batman yet. Lots has been going on, though. Last week, Gwenn and I went to Cleveland to help her Mom (not...
MY PET VIRUS Released
Five and a half years ago I started writing this book. And today, it's finally out there. Pretty surreal... And last night, at my first reading, the place was packed. So many familar faces, too many to even keep up with. Gwenn told me my doctor was there, but I didn't...
The Whirlwind Book Tour Begins
Tonight I'm doing my first book reading. I've heard that, if you're not David Sedaris, you shouldn't even do an actual reading because you'll bore the audience to tears. But tonight? I'm braving it. Also, this is a local reading, which means that a ton of family and...
