So, I get a message on my phone from Muggsy. Yes, it was from his I-Phone. (he loves when I tell people that). At any rate, it was one of his half hour long voicemails which are actually pretty entertaining. In this one he suggested we take one of my writing pieces and turn it into a short film. Muggsy went to art school in Kansas and is working on a degree in animation. He’s the most talented artist I’ve ever met. In fact in high school I had to design an album cover for an art project. I got Muggsy to do the Neil Young cover for me and it was really professional looking. In fact it was too good. When I got my grade back I was really disappointed to have received a B. I went to the teacher and asked her why I only got a B. She said, “I gave you a B on it. Muggsy got an A on it.” I didn’t complain, she knew it was too good to be mine and only one person in the school could have done that cover and he just happened to be one of my best friends. He wasn’t even in my class and she knew it was him. Ha ha I took the B.
I tried to call him back today but couldn’t reach him yet--he might have flown back out to the Bunny Ranch. ( I’m really afraid he has a full blown addiction on his hands ) I can see some really cool stuff developing here. And no this isn’t a porn movie (get your mind out of the gutter Luch). And this isn’t a ploy to pick up chicks…although I’m not against that if it happens. So we’ll pick one of my stories and work it into a screenplay. Next week we’re going to sit down with some cigars and bourbon and start planning. Are we going to get famous doing this? Hell, I don’t know. We’re going to do it for the art man. That’s what artists do, they express themselves. Why do we need to do that? Fuck I don’t know. It just is what it is.
Oh and hurry back Luch if we do decide to shoot a porn that 80’s porn star mustache your growing and the fact that you have big blue will get you a role in the film.
