About Red Monday:
A nuclear weapon has just exploded in Los Angeles. Millions of people are trying to get out… Three are trying to get in.

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
One love,

Hey everyone. I’d like you to check out the trailer for an audio drama I’m starring in. It’s from StarKnight Productions and will be great.

Check it out at Red-Monday.com.

It drops Nov. 26 so get ready.
Enjoy!

It’s day eight of the WGA Strike. Spent this day with my fellow performers and writers in support of the WGA. We lead the creative cheering/slogan section. Thanks to everyone who came through to support and those who honked their horns.

Here are some more pictures of the Coomacka Island booth at the CRA (actually only the right side of the booth). Didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the entire booth, which also had the giant map from Andrew Martonyi’s “The Little Man in the Map.” It was a gigantic winner with the teachers.

Note: It got kind of messy at the booth by the time I took the picture, so I apologize.

Day 2 (day 1 for me) of the 41st annual CRA (California Reading Association) Conference is now in the history books. Coomacka Island partnered with E. Andrew Martonyi of Schoolside Press and shared a booth for the conference. Martonyi is the author of “The Little Man in the Map,” an excellent book that teaches children the geography of the United States.

Here’s a picture of Martonyi and myself:

Well, here I am at Day 1 of the California Reading Association Conference. Actually, it’s day 2 for the conference, day 1 for me. I was supposed to be here for the opening of the conference, but one thing lead to another and I missed it.

I arrived at JFK fourty minutes before my flight time. Unfortunately, since I had an extra bag that needed to be checked in I wasn’t allowed to fly at my scheduled time. Airports have some rule where after a certain time, only carry on luggage is allowed on the plane. So, I ended up flying standby, several hours later.

I finally arrived in Ontario, CA only to find out that my luggage didn’t make the flight. It ended up stopping at LAX (Los Angeles Intl Airport). The attendant at JFK had only marked my checked-bag for the first leg of the flight. Of course, that was the bag with my clothes in it.

Luckily, the airport was able to locate the bag at LAX and sent it on to Ontario on the next flight. I was thrilled when I went to the hotel lobby and the desk attendant had my bag waiting for me at 10pm PST.

Well, that’s it for now, time to start on Day 1.

We have a date in November! Stop by the UCB calendar for official details on the show:

Tell your friends: Wednesday, November 7, at 9:30pm, appearing with I
Eat Pandas! (”I Eat Pandas” does what it takes Andrew Lloyd Webber YEARS to do: crap out a musical from start to finish.)

Now that’s a power duo!
