He was very cool. They had this event..."Tiny Kushner," I think they called it, doing one acts/monologues, etc. A handful of people sat in on the rehearsal w/ Ben, Linda Emond (from Arturo Ui) Ana Reeder (also in Sight Unseen) and some other guy. They went through it 3 times, and it was fascinating to see how it evolved just in those three run-throughs. Then, after the rehearsal, TK did a little talk back w/ the students, and after he was done, I asked him to sign MA, and he was very nice. We didn't really chat. I just said I was looking forward to AiA (I don't think it had aired yet...maybe it had, but I didn't have HBO at my New School dorms) and Caroline. There wasn't really a whole lot to it, but he was very nice. The actual shindig was pretty cool. There was also a monologue by Jeffrey Wright and Marcia Gay Harden did the Laura Bush monologue scene thing. I can't think of the name...it's very long.
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
