Thanks to Leigh for the photo!

If you missed Shark Tank this Friday, stop what you are doing and watch this right now. Steve is the first segment. Get ready...it's awesome.

 

This is totally for real. I can't wait.

Also, Steve was listed as number 41 in Newcity's recent "Fifty People Who Really Perform in Chicago"

41 Steve Gadlin
Actor
Steve Gadlin and his Blewt! cohorts create some of the funniest, most imaginative projects anywhere, from the "Impress These Apes" show that first brought them to our attention, to his more recent "Nairobi Project" wherein he commissioned an email spammer to create plays for him which he produced. But he's on the verge of going big-time now: his "Don't Spit the Water" game show pilot recently aired on television and, later this month on January 27, he's really breaking out when he appears on ABC Television's "Shark Tank" to pitch rich investors on his project "I Want to Draw A Cat for You." Sounds Trump-worthy to us.

I'm one of those "cohorts!" WOOO!

My bestie, Erica Livingston, was in town for New Years this year, and we are no strangers to posing for odd photos and making odd videos. This was this year's project.

The Ericas in repose.

Last year, for Christmas, my mom gave Fuzzy and I plush red "Slanket/Snuggie/Blankets with Sleeves" and they are awesome.


"Who's the fairest in the land?"

And of course, we had to get Parker in on the action:
Snuggles in Snuggies!

This week, my friend and colleague, the amazing Steve Gadlin will be featured on ABC's Shark Tank, in which he will try to convince the "sharks" (Investors) to invest in I Want to Draw a Cat for You.  Seriously. He's gotten a ton of press about it--read everything here. I am so excited to see this!

Nina Metz of the Chicago Tribune wrote this lovely piece about Mike Enriquez today.

The world lost a true treasure last night.

We'll miss you, Mike. A whole lot.

Fuck cancer.

Noah and Stephanie's wedding yesterday was so sweet and so beautiful and so fun and so THEM. It was a blast, and I slept pretty much all day today. I am taking these photos from Ryan's Flickr (thanks, Ryan!) Full set here. Enjoy!

I wanted to publicly thank our friend Shaun, who came and picked us up from the hospital on Tuesday and transported me and my bike safely home. Thank you so much, Shaun! You are the best!
