Go, Johnny Go! Bub Cover You!

[thehefner]

On disc 2 of the FRANK SINATRA: VEGAS box set, the Chairman ended a monologue with the following line:

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."

Once I finish editing THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES, I'm gonna send it to literary agents and see where that goes. While that happens, I'll finish the Harvey Dent novel and send that to Bloo and other willing betas (any takers? *sad Wilford Brimley eyes*).

And after that, I'm gonna return to BUB AND JOHNNY GO, which now may be titled CHUCK AND JOHNNY GO. I hate to change Bub's name, but that may be what'll have to happen (don't worry, Bub-fans, I have it such a way that it could easily be the same character). After reading Max Brooks' utterly wonderful WORLD WAR Z, I've been inspired as to a awesome way to pull off the tale of Johnny and his zombie pal in prose form.

I very much look forward to writing this book someday, especially so I can include lines like the above Sinatra quote. Lord fucking knows getting it published will be an uphill battle, to say the bloody least... but the book'll still be a blast.

You know I'm down for editing anything you want to send me, darlin'. Please do!

I knew I could count on you ;)

This Two-Face novel, a whole book of unoriginal material, has somehow become one of the most personal stories I've ever worked on. I definitely want it to be good, even if it'll never get published.

I'm glad you knew you could...it's always true.

And work is always personal, even if it's not autobiographical! Of course you want it to be good. :-)

Would you be interested in a Bub and Johnny Go shirt? If so, email me a picture of you two that you would like on the shirt and I'll see what I can do about getting it made.

Aw man, I'm tempted... but the sad fact is, I don't wear T-shirts anymore. If you have mad photoshopin' skillz, I'd still love to see what design you come up with.

Then again, I still am gonna need help making an "I KILLED CAPTAIN AMERICA" shirt for the FAUSTUS kroo...

How many shirts do you need? How much are you willing to pay to get them? I know this guy who makes t-shirts, but I don't know how much he would charge. Gotta find him and ask.

Just found out. $25 each. He hand paints each one. He's really good. Maybe you could pool together money with the kroo.
