The Phacts are back!!!

Hi friends---


PHACTS OF LIFE is back! By popular demand and the kind insistence of James Grace at Hollywood's snazzy Improv Olympic West, 6366 Hollywood Blvd., just east of Cahuenga, we will be performing two episodes per night EVERY Saturday from October 9 to November 27. The tickets are only 10 bucks, there's a full bar and valet parking, not to mention the dream cast of a lifetime: The incomparable Sam Pancake as spoiled-rotten debutante Miss Piggy, er, Blair; swarthy, sexy Steve Sobel as violence-prone diesel-dagger Jo; ever-wacky audience fave Madeline Long as Edna Garrett; Mad-TV star Daniele Gaither in a hilariously frightening simulation of chatty, bratty Tootie; pop culture tart Julie Brown (the white, talented one!) as chunky Jewess Natalie; and The Nellie Olesons' cuddly sicko Terrence Michael as handi-capable Cousin Geri!

The guest stars include A Dirty Shame's Mink Stole; Lampshade chanteuse Kate Flannery, My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance's James Grace, and the very funny Jason Ginsburg, Angela Otey, Kevin Walsh, and Dudley Beene.

Every two weeks brings a fresh pair of episodes including a brand-new Cousin Geri! Here's the current schedule:

October 9 & 16-- Tootie and the teen prostitution ring**** All-new "Cousin Geri"

October 23 & 30-- Natalie takes a college course and turns into a bigger, fatter bitch****Cousin Geri returns and dates Eastland's tres hunky French teacher.

November 6 & 13-- In Part One of a very special two-parter, Blair's stepsister shocks the gang when she announces she's becoming a nun... and so does Jo!****Cousin Geri.

November 20 & 27-- The Nun, Part 2**** Cousin Geri Returns.

Please come to the show as many times as you can! Call 323.962.7560 for tickets.

THANKS!

Have you missed me?

So much for keeping everyone up to date!

I have actually spent the last week and a half incredibly sick with some migraine inducing virus, but it looks as though as I am going to survive. I can't tell you how many nights I cried myself to sleep singing Gloria and thinking of Laura Branigan as the pain in my head throbbed unbearably.

The high point of so much time on the couch... I am SOOOOOO caught up on my TV shows. I would be lost without the WB. My absolute favorite new show is Jack and Bobby. My friend Barbie is working on it and I tuned in as a gesture, but now I am completely obsessed. Next up, my eyes are still red from tonight's episode of One Tree Hill. I am so upset we didn't get to hear what Dan said to Lucas at the end, but I think that Huey Lewis and Bess Armstrong as Hayley's parents is complete genius casting! Wednesday I have Smallville and that new show the Mountain (I just think that Oliver Hudson is so cute), Friday I have Reba (still one of the funniest shows on TV). Seriously, what would I do this season without the WB????

What are you watching this season???

And although it wasn't Charla and Mirna, I was so happy to see Chip and Kim beat Scott and Laci, I mean Colin and Christie on last weeks nail biting Amazing Race. And did anyone else watch them on the Early Show the next day when Colin proposed to Christie? Maybe it's me, but I am guessing that the Jesus models are no longer a couple... Their love was not in God's light that morning!

Two major milestone birthday's today... Clara and Hannah are both turning a major clock and I wish them both a moment of reflection and a year full of laughter and happiness!!!!

I have to go watch more TV... Shannen Doherty is popping up on North Shore :-)
