Turned out he was just sleeping, he's right as rain, crazy world.
Thought I'd update.
Goodnight, Travel Well.

Mourning Glory.
Greetings Gentle Readers,
I have some sad news to announce.
A friend, fellow playwright and genius, Stephen Gretchky, passed away earlier today, about 4am GMT.
He was a great writer, a brilliant thinker, and most of all a close friend. You may remember his many works, including "Sir Spaniel of Dogville" and the Children's classic "My Year In Soviet Russia With Cuddles the Attack Dog"
His work, mainly animal and canine related, garnered the praise of journalists, artists, filmmakers, actors and the masses, culminating in last year's Saskatchewan Regional Theater fellowship, of which he wrote a play based on Canada's harsh climates and how dogs cope with such things, classically the dog being portrayed by Sir Timothy Kregsman, one of his last performances before retirement.
It is truly a sad day, but I am glad to say that I knew him, and even through the harder parts, his darker times, and his second life in Portugal, South America way, he was a great friend, and i was happy to be by his side in London this morning, sharing what precious time he had left.
I also caught a screening of chemotherapy, the new project by Dr. Samuel Johnson, who just happened to be in the hospital.
It was interesting to say the least.
Goodnight, Travel Well.
Ethan.
EDIT: Just learnt it was not a new gallery hidden in a hospital, and Dr. Samuel Johnson was not the same man I was thinking of, being of female gender. Such things are not unusual in the underground art movement however, and I suggest you check out the exhibit at King George, I believe it'll be there until Sunday, and it's free!

Now I Know...
Greetings Gentle Readers,
Today I was informed from a secret but very high place as to who has taken the position of MSNBC anchor in the much hyped and shocking Farce Of The Zombies, after MikeDeBoing and Christian Bale left, the DP herself, Snowfender, will become the anchor.
Not much new, another dull day.

Dienstag 2: Dienstager.
Greetings Gentle Readers,
I was looking at twitter, but it didn't accommodate the kinds of people I care about, just the nouveau-riche celebs of the moment, who cares what the weather is like near David Lynch's house, or what Ashton Kutcher is thinking when he's looking at Mrs. Willis?
So that idea is out, sorry fellow fans.
So, the news of Farce is getting a lot of chatter, hope Ben manages to get the film known as something that's not just Bale's cuntish attitudes.
Well, nothing much to report, Ethan out.
Goodnight, Travel Well.

Inside Dying, Outside Signing Contracts
Great news Gentle Readers,
The final performance in Hamburg of Inside Dying, Outside Crying was recorded as a memory of the times, and Boll KG has expressed interest in releasing it worldwide, with Uwe's personal seal of approval, he always makes such great films I can't imagine how great his editing will be to the play.
Look out for it soon,
Goodnight, Travel Well,

Another Day Another Deutschmark
Hello gentle readers,
As always I figured when there's nothing to do, to hit the ol' blogsphere and inform people of what's not occurring.
I hear on the wire from BASkit that Benjamin Tuttle has made a formal statement to the press about last week's incident, and it seems to be a big hit on hayoo and froogle searches.
"Hey there, it's Ben, I thought you'd like to put this on your blog before the word gets out and looks bad.
Last week an incident occurred between a cast member and some of the cast and crew on the set of FotZ, and yes it got rather heated before it was over, but fortunately the actor has been reimbursed, and a replacement found, with no bad blood whatsoever.
I'm really proud of the professionalism at the Studio and on set by everyone, no one making mean jokes or saying salty things, and fortunately the film can almost go ahead full steam, just need to finish re-making some sets hit by last week's blaze. A majority of the footage was safe, a few B-rolls and 2nd Unit stuff, coverage mostly, was lost, and we can easily re-shoot that days before the premiere, so it's not even close to a big rush.
Really looking forward to completing this film and watching it go out in the World alone, without stabilizers.
Talk soon, Ben."
One hopes this means he's confident and knowledgeable of everything, and not just trying to hide things under the rug.
I checked out a new site today, www.twitter.com, might set up an account soon, do nothing with hourly updates, funness.

A Samstag To Remember
Greetings gentle reader.
It is now zwanzig nach neun, 21:20 for the uninitiated of the wonderful German language, sadly not as universal as the lesser English language.
This is feeling like twitter now, not so much stories to say, just general updates of news and nothingness.
Fortunately in the whirlwind of issues on a certain filmset over the past week, I just spent a day not having anything go wrong. Just me, the sun, a bed and my iTunes playlist. And Final Draft open, blinking it's cursor at me telling me to write, but I'm not feeling it. Whilst I love what I'm doing with my friend TFoster, the Batman script isn't going anywhere at this moment, I just don't feel I can get my eyes into it's ideas, maybe it's the lack of traveling, maybe it's the distressing nature of the stage production, but we'll see, a German summer is coming and it will be inspiring and creative.
Will talk more about things tomorrow, until then,
Goodnight, Travel Well.
