I'm in Iowa City - shooting da' movie, hanging out with friends.

The shoot has been going well. All of it has been with Emily Yoshida who is portraying Natalie in the movie. Today, we shot a scene in a hot, hot attic. It was humid and steamy. Emily and cameraman DJ persevered though - even without any promise of superstar glory or monetary pay. They are troopers and I am forever in their debt.

Tomorrow night, I'm going to my friends Chris and Aprille's plays. This will be the first play I have seen since May 1989.
