But what has my Escape to Los Angeles been like so far?

I’m staying with two of the most awesome people you’ll ever meet, Josh Cohen & Tamra Malaga (Josh&Tamra). AND Next Month, THEY’RE HAVING A BABY! Now I already can’t wait to get back out here to be Uncle Zach. We had pork chops and apple sauce when I arrived Wednesday night, Homemade by Tamra and SO delicious. Tamra and I saw Dasariski on Thursday night at iO West, after Indian with DSI Alum and former student Mano Agapion. Ryan Hansinger (Made of BEES!) joined us the show. I was up early on Friday (TODAY!) because my body never adjusts, so I was working and writing starting at 7am. Lunch with Katherine Brown was an incredible catch-up marathon AND flashback to middle school (and CHHS). Do you think people lose out on a specific type of memory if they aren’t able to say “Junior High” – just a thought. We talked about her life and my life and production and development and writing and her job and her husband and his job and why wasn’t I represented and… It was great. Lots to think about. After lunch I went early to “The Bourgeois Pig” on Franklin near the UCB Theatre to meet people for coffee.

Were there famous people there? I like to think so.

I was meeting Chelsea Coleman and Mike Perri – Famous to me. We talked for a couple hours and caught up on years of improv and comedy stories and I found out a THEY knew each other. Crazy. AND fun. I’m back at LA Home Base (Josh&Tamra have a sweet place) and should get ready for my show with Eric Hunicutt at iO West; people have been coming out of the woodwork to get tickets and catch up. Someone from NC Governor’s School East (Laurinburg, what’s up!) who I haven’t seen in over 16 years got sent the show as a recommendation from a friend in Los Angeles. Hope I don’t disappoint anyone. Yikes!

Alright, more later. And definitely video from the show.

Awesome.
