Because I made a vow to post something every day, here’s a picture of my cats side by side. Believe it or not, they were about the same size until a couple of years ago. The little one is about 5 pounds and the big one is about 13. They eat the same food, so I don’t know what happened.
OK, back to work!

Saturday I went to a birthday party for my pal Dave, and I have to say it had the best live entertainment I have seen at a club in years. The cool thing was that it was all performed by the birthday boy and his friends. Absolutely astonishing and HOT.
Above is a shot with my friends Jamie and Alec.
And no, those rolled up bills on the table aren’t mine. I gave all mine to the strippers.

My pal Prince, the lead in the short film Laundromat in which I appear, has a new show in LA:
If in the past I’ve brought any joy into your life at all, will you please do me a favor? Take a moment to think about if you know anyone in the Los Angeles area who would enjoy my storytelling, song-singing, game-playing extravaganza, JUKEBOX STORIES. If you do have cool L.A. friends, will you please let them know that Brandon Patton and I will be performing all-new material at Genghis Cohen on March 28 and 29, 2008? (Handy info below.)
Thanks for your continued support. (And, by the way, if you happen to be in the L.A. area yourself, um, HELLO, come to the show! The venue seats maaaaaybe 60, so buy your tickets now and come spank my ass after the performance.)

My producer pal JD has a great film called Shelter coming out in limited release nationwide. It’s a surfing movie and a coming out movie. I have never mentioned it, but I am obsessed with surfing and could watch people surf all day. It’s just so graceful and risky all at once.
Anyway, I saw this movie last summer at Outfest and loved it.

Time for another Transamerican Love Story round-up, or as I called it, Andrea’s cavalcade of grimaces. That top picture may be the perfect summation of my involvement in TLS…
Nadia was apparently in agreement:
• Transamerican Love Story Photo Recap March 17th Edition (nadia @ nadia’s transgender )
Don’t miss suitor Jim’s take on things, either:
• TLS take 5 (jim via wow report)

Dan4th, a terrific fan of Transamerican Love Story, has set up a group on Facebook for discussing the show and connecting with other fans.
• Transamerican Love Story group on Facebook
He also suggested I set up a group for myself that everyone can join:
A couple of my friends on Facebook have mentioned to me in emails that they are definitely fans, but aren’t comfortable trying to add you as friends because they don’t know you.
So here ya go!
• Andrea James group on Facebook
I’ll be adding some never-before-seen stuff there soon.
A couple of Wikipedia editors have also been busily updating the TLS entry:
OK, here are a few online writeups from episode 5 of Transamerican Love Story:
• Episode 5: Keep your friends close (shawn@ transameriblog)
• TLS Recap: Episode 5 (rachel @ metrophobic)
• TLS recap follow up (rachel @ metrophobic)
• “Fierce Hot Tranny Mess” defined (cb @ the mangina monologues)
Be sure to check out the new TLS fan group on Facebook, too! I’ll write that up separately.
