My latest Mediaite column…Brick City Announces Newark’s Revival

Your Company Could Be Featured in Sundance Channel’s The Lazy Environmentalist

From the head office:

On Season 2 of THE LAZY ENVIRONMENTALIST, host Josh Dorfman continues his quest to find easy, convenient and affordable green solutions for the most environmentally skeptical people. Think it can’t be done? Josh wants to prove you wrong!

If you or someone you know is an environmental skeptic we want to hear from you. Must be outgoing, opinionated and very vocal about why aspects of “going green” won’t work for you. Must also be ready to show off your “environmentally challenged” business/occupation/lifestyle. Must live in the LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO or TUCSON areas.

Please e-mail a little bit about yourself, including your name, location, occupation, contact information and picture of yourself, to: lazycasting@yahoo.com.

Matt Weiner Is Using MAD MEN to Enact His Devious Revenge

Reaching, Gawker. Even US Weekly would have ended it with a “?”

So proud.

What more could you ask for from life than to be given an impossible challenge?

Someone’s having some fun with Pat Kiernan’s Wikipedia page. Not that I disagree with the assessment.

[edit] The highlighted text reads:

Pat is a god amongst men. The sun only rises when Pat’s ready to wake up. Pat knows what the news is, before it even happens. He is just that awesome.

Sadly, I wasn’t the one to break this story.

BRICK CITY premieres tonight @ 10pm on Sundance Channel (101 on Time Warner Cable in New York). It’s a really powerful series that I am extremely proud to be associated with, and hope very much that you’ll watch.

For the last two years, we’ve heard the word change over and over again as the mantra, and I think the tagline Sundance Channel chose, ‘Change comes hard,’ that’s what the series is on the most human level.

Marc Levin, director & executive producer of BRICK CITY,
giving props to my deserving coworkers.

Very kind of him to do so;
saying that producers don’t always agree with how networks choose to market their projects would be an understatement.

[Newark’s] heroes give us all something to aspire to. As most of us struggle mightily to improve our own lives, these people fight every day to make the world a safer and better place for their neighbors. In revealing their trials and toils, Sundance Channel’s BRICK CITY makes our luxuries, from our comforting things to the comfort of our cynicism, look downright foolish by comparison.
