It's a straight up murder mystery currently titled "Perfect Harry". The story unfolds out of sequence kind of like "Memento". It stars me, Monica and Diver Velour (from Erotic Couch and Fox Holes).

Monica's entry is called "Gimme", a comedy horror film about three girls on Halloween trying to escape a possessed doll (voice of Amy Kelly from "Firecracker").

Do you mean, are we famous?

Atlanta's #1 free weekly entertainment guide, Creative Loafing, has absolutely no interest in us (I guess this is payback for all the years they extensively covered all the bands I was in - perhaps they feel betrayed).

We have one of those - the L.A. Weekly, and it is run by a collective that is actually centered in Greenich Fucking Village in NYC. Therefore, all the articles are about food and theater, which people in Los Angeles have absolutely no interest in whatsoever.

Los Angeles should be about film and bands. But NYC'ers don't understand that, so the 'Weekly is fairly useless.
