Anyways, I loved the cartoons and completely flipped out over Pen’s ADVENTURE TIME! I’ve run into Pen now for about 3 or 4 years and it’s great to see him smash one out of the part on his first go. I was talking with Kevin Kolde afterwards and we were admiring his perfect comedic timing. I don’t know if that’s something you can learn in a class and it certainly doesn’t look like he’d have enough experience to pull it off but he really knows how to craft and present a gag.

I loved all the food…bacon-wrapped mushrooms, juicy garlic bread, I had a honkin’ glass of wine (to deaden the scorching pain on my neck) and bummed cigarettes off Kevin…which is kind of an ongoing ritual between us now.

I also have to mention how impressed I am with the directing on BONEHEADS. That’s some aggressive story-telling and I learned a lot from that guy.

It was weird showing Solomon Fix in front of a live audience because people always laugh at stuff I thought was a throw-away joke then don’t laugh at my big funny moments. Audiences are tricky to second guess but you could tell that they LOVED cartoons and were digging on all 6 for the individual merits of each. There’s nothing better than showing a cartoon to a bunch of committed cartoon lovers.
