Do you live near NYC? OR, Is money no object to you?

Do you remember that super-awesome stage reading that Lee was supposed to do with Dean Winters last August at the Williamstown Theatre Festival? The one written by Tom Fontana? But then Lee had to drop out at the last minute due to scheduling conflcts? I certainly do. Probably because I cried for three days. (But then PaLeeyFest happened and all was right with the world. *clappyhands* *SQUEE*)

Well, anyway, the GOOD NEWS is that they're doing it again! In NYC this time! Yay!

The BAD NEWS is that it is on Monday, January 29! Just 5 (yes, count'em FIVE) days away!

Yeesh. I guess "advance notification" is a hazy concept to some people.

Here's the description of the play, taken from The Acting Company's website:

The website has a link to buy tickets, which are only $10. Unfortunately, the cheapest flight to NYC from where I live is $742. Because it's only FIVE days away.

Nevertheless, a few of Lee's more-local peeps are trying to make it happen, so there might be a LeeFest in the works.

And, hey, it's super-interesting that they're doing it again, dontcha think? Like, maybe this is a project that might have some legs to it? *fingerscrossed*

In other Lee-awareness news, I recently discovered that someone has uploaded to YouTube all 13 episodes of Lee's 2005 TV show "Wanted," where he played the legendary, snarky, sexy Eddie Drake. Seriously, Lee never looked hotter than he did on this show:



*RAWR*

Note: Lee is not in the first/pilot episode--his role was added after it had been filmed because they thought the show needed more humor. *ENTER EDDIE* (but not in that way)

Several Ozzies made guest-appearances, too! If you never had the opportunity to watch Wanted before, NOW YOU CAN. And SHOULD. Because Lee is SUPER HOT in this show. (Maybe I already mentioned that.)

OH, and don't forget to watch Meloni's show "Happy!" tonight on Syfy! Just two epsiodes left! This show is weeeeeird, but good! I think? It's certainly different. Lots of drug, sex, and violence. It's definitely nice to see Meloni and the Ass of Life in NSFW sex scenes:

Awesome. I watched that ep of Happy and thought it would make you happy..ahem.
The show's creator Grant Morrison said that Meloni was the most charismatic person he'd ever met. Ha.

[vanillalime]

All viewers should be Happy after watching the episodes for this show! ;-)

Teh Meloni was born to play Nick Sax.

Late late late, did local peeps pull anything together for the other play reading?

It's basically criminal that Meloni's body still looks so, so good. How rude!

No, it was too last-minute for everyone but shabby86, who went but saw Lee only very briefly beforehand. (Apparently, he had plans with some friends afterwards.) From what I gathered, the reading was very good--the script was very funny, but also had important underlying messages. Lee & Dean were the stars, while Zeljko Ivanek had a supporting role. One woman in attendance told me she saw parallels to Godfather IV (which she had also seen), in that there was some similarity between Lee's & Dean's characters and their Oz counterparts (and also their real-life selves by extension). I guess Fontana knows what works! ;-)
