SURPRISE GUESTS AT BAD GRAMMAR THEATER'S FIFTH ANNIVERSARY!

The ever beautiful Noemi Perez and the gruff but likeable Eli Diaz showed up to hear me get up to the podium and read the current installment of TIME CLOWN. I worked with Noemi and Eli on a film by the versatile yet huggable Will Adams, STEP OFF THE BLOCK. It was because of this film that we all started getting work on the Dick Wolf shows filming here. CHICAGO FIRE, CHICAGO MED, CHICAGO PD, and the newest, CHICAGO JUSTICE. Here are the photos. Noemi and Eli sat in the back row, worried that the crowd closer to me would throw rotten fruit when I read.

THE DAMEN SILOS ON CHICAGO PD

Little did I know that there is the body of a man who was executed buried near the silos, at least in the world of CHICAGO PD. This past Wednesday, the episode was called "The Silos". They held grain until a fire in 1987 left them both condemned. I call them the Damen Silos because there are right off the Damen Avenue bridge and I'm one to believe that everything should have a cool name. Here are some photos I took last October.

SO THIS WAS STRANGE

Purchased from eBay with apologies from the original owner, I bought a copy of THE HOLY TERROR. But I really wanted what came with it, a copy of GRUE#7, which has my story "I Am The American Dream" in it and of which I somehow do not have a copy. ALSO!!!!! A letter to Alan Clark from me on my original manual typewriter letterhead. ALSO!!! A flyer to join the Guardian Angels.
