It went well. It really went well. Does that mean anything? Probably
not. I'm fighting this uphill battle against all things hip on this
project. It's Ivy League vs. Greenwich Village and I'm on the wrong
team. I was pleasantly surprised, though, today when they laughed at
a couple of the things I was doing. Two different little moments
amused them for whatever reason and that felt great. It's not a
traditional sitcom, though it is quite funny. It's shot with a single
camera and I would assume without a laugh track, so there doesn't
have to be a joke every three lines. And NICK didn't have that many
laugh lines. Still, a couple of good chuckles from the folks gathered
in the room and I'm a happy man for the rest of the day.
