Our Long Lost Stoner Family Is Coming Back Not Only To The Radio on THE ELVES ATTIC ... we also have big news for the thousands of Peace and Pipedreams fans -- we are working on a project to bring them even more to life.
Stay tuned.... for more news, all you good folk who lit a bong up with us during the opening song of our shows, when we played our own bubbling away... REMEMBER, like the one quote Moon Bong knows (has it tattooed on his inner forearm, during a prison stint... though he often forgets where it is and ends up naked looking for the quote to throw out to somebody... why he learned it is anybody's guess. This is a guy who uses a brick to drive... and let's it steer from the gas peddle). The man quoted is worthy of endless esteem and the Godfather of the show, Hunter S. Thompson. Here is what it reads in black prison ink, on his skinny pale arm -- minus various miss-pellings: "Weed is like cigarettes. You smoke it all day, every day." Not that I am ever going to cop to that... but here is the news.

Jimmy Peace and I have decided to start working on a script for The Haze Family, from the Peace and Pipedreams show. The stuff he sent me was funnier than hell, to me. He cracks me up. We make each other laugh a lot, which is a good combination... and of course, we will go ANYWHERE with our comedy.
There is a lot to mine from our Old Show, and we talked about this a bit before... I have written a few scripts before, but never a movie from one of my own books. Other people's books... Interview With The Vampire (one of those eight scripts Ann Rice had other people write, read and rejected and then used liberally in her own draft . . . or her people did this; I love her books and would hate to get on her bad side... so let me add I could have heard this from a liar, okay? Always bothers me when I piss off my idols... pissing off steven martin and tina fey and tommy smothers enough that they attacked my ideas on a live awards show almost gave me a heart attack, oh well... all in good fun I hope, but I am just unused to it, being this obscure dude in Chicago).
So... I am getting in that MoonBong Haze frame of mind, and will begin writing a bunch of stories about them in here that we may or may not develop into scenes. Remember, putting anything on this blog copywrites it, and while I do not care if people use my poetry for whatever, the ideas that flow in this narrative are for a project of mine, not yours... So, please, use your own head to come up with your own comedy -- you'll be happier in the end. By the way, I am flattered when people use my jokes... stealing something I give away for free is hardly theft. If I was all about the bucks, you think I would be writing a blog? I went to school for a lot of years to learn to write. Most folks with my education are so worried about making a living in their work that controversy is the last thing they need (unless they are the type who use that); the write articles, edit, teach, novel out, whatever... I am all about the actual use of words, how they shape consciousness, and how I can positively contribute to that (yea... and writing about stuff that pisses me off... don't mean to come off as high minded, but this really is in the foundation of my personal literary theories, which are informed by Wittgenstinian studies and others, as well as the usual boof stuff that comes with being an artist).
So, here is to the movie script... Thank You For Showing interest, Hollywood... look forward to seeing you soon.
