Mike: (From Katie in New York City) Wasn’t there a mention of a sequel to “Wet Hot American Summer”? What happened to that? Michael Showalter: David and I just haven’t had a chance to connect and talk about it. But I definitely think it’s something we would be interested in doing one day. Read the entire interview!

Why does exhaustion and inspiration run side by side?
Is it because we put up too many walls of resistance and orthodoxy to know what it is to truly be inspired anymore? Is daily life so routine that we can’t take the time to enjoy the small things in life.
If there is one thing I’m realizing about life in the states its that so much is taken care of for us.
There is more...

inspiration comes
from the simplest places
get on the next train leaving
sit on the street curb
lay on a park bench
saddle up to a strange bar

Happy 4th of July from Roma
Trains, computer labs, hostels, backpacks, sweat, cameras, maps, all signs of a frugal life on the road.
I’ve already passed out on the top deck of a sightseeing bus, drooled all over my train seat, and ate a piece of pizza while dodging Roma’s finest drivers.
Lots to do this weekend but at the top is finding a way to celebrate the 4th with some friends.
Some festivities are...
Greetings from Amsterdam
What an awesome place!
And no it isn’t all hookers and drugs - really not even close.

Lots of similarities to my trip to Prague, great public transport etc -...
