I finished most of my Secret Project yesterday, then sped out to Pasadena for An Evening With Groucho starring our buddy, Frank Ferrante. Frank oughta play closer to Los Angeles more often. The Pasadena Playhouse, which seats (I'm told) 686 people, was sold out with a waiting list long enough for many to not get in. Those who did get seats had a very good time as Mr. Ferrante came out on stage, chatted with us about his idol Groucho and then proceeded to miraculously transform himself into said idol. I'd recommend you rush to see him but it was just the one performance and I don't think he's doing another one until February or so next year. Keep an eye on his website for further info…and no, I'm not at all sick of seeing the same show because it's never quite the same show.
Can't tell you yet about the Secret Project but when I can, I will. I'll just say for now that it involves a Labor of Love, which is another way of describing something where there's not a lot of money but you don't care. You'd pay them for the honor. We're also a few weeks from me being able to tell you about a new monthly comic book I've agreed to write which almost falls into that category.
Here's the Knee Report for those of you who care about that part of me. I had the surgery on June 24 and had hoped to be largely healed by now. I'm not, probably due to all the stress I put on it at Comic-Con. Stairs can still be brutal. Level ground is unpredictable. The knee hurts or doesn't hurt based on no pattern I can discern. Icing it and swallowing Ibuprofen alters the ratio of painful steps to non-painful in favor of non-painful but it's still swollen and always a concern. And that's your Knee Report for today.
Between the con, the Secret Project and dealing with my knee, it's been pleasant to watch less news these last few weeks. I may try to do more of that. I shall also try to return to my usual density of blogging before this day is out. Thanks for checking back after my absence.
