Today I went to lunch with Billy B. to discuss casting. I was hungry for a really good burger, so it was quite fortunate that the meeting was scheduled at McDonalds. Billy hangs out at McDonalds a lot and seems to know everyone who comes in there. In fact, he actually picks up a little money here and there selling vitamins and homeopathic powders to many of the regulars at McDonalds. I say 'a little money' but to be honest there must have been at least $500 changing hands in the hour I was there. We also managed to find an actor to read the lead role in our upcoming reading. I'm really excited about him, because he does bear an uncanny resemblence to John Logie Baird. 
His name is Hank and, well, he was a very interesting dresser, I can tell you that. I had never seen a pair of Pokemon flip-flops before and thought they went really well with his NRA T-shirt and ripped jeans. The jeans were interesting because they didn't have the rips in the knees as you would have expected, rather, they had one huge rip in the crotch area. I probably would have been embarrassed with my testicles hanging out the way his were but I'm sure he was keeping cool, and on a hot summer day that's really important. In return for him doing the reading Billy gave Hank one of the bags of powder for free, which makes me think we are really ahead of the game with a financial whiz like Billy. Who else could find so many people willing to barter. The rest of the meeting was uneventful until I found a fingernail in my Big Mac. The cast of the reading is coming over to my apartment tomorrow so I hurried home to clean.
More later....
