Hello everyone. Unfortunately, I still don't know when the episode of Law & Order that I was on will air. All I do know for certain is that it was the "Criminal Intent" series. It's not worth watching every episode just to spot me but if you happen to be a fan of the show anyway, look for me in the background getting out of a taxi cab when a guy gets arrested in front of an airport. I may also appear in other scenes involving the airport (assuming I made the cut, it's possible I didn't even make it into the episode). Yesterday I went into New York City to shoot for a television show called Life on Mars. This is not the same version as the Life On Mars BBC Programme, this is the ABC remake. The episode I'm on (which is the first episode of the first season of this U.S. version of the show) will premiere on Fox 5 at 10:00pm (9:00 central) on October 9th, which coincidentally is the birthday of the girl that I wrote the first 50 Ways To Kill Me songs for. Every year I am sad on that day so if I didn't make the cut and I don't see myself I'll be sad. If I made the cut and made it past editing and am still in it, then you'll see me in the first or second scene as a hippie carrying a conga drum. The day was so boring. We filmed my part between 4:00am and 2:00pm. The reason that took so long is because every time it would rain we'd have to go under an awning and wait for it to stop. After that finally finished, I sat in the holding room bored until about 6:30pm. I asked them if I could go for a walk because I was so bored and they let me. On the five minute walk I encountered some interesting people like Stza (the singer for Leftover Crack), and a man on a skateboard who recognized me from a 50 Ways to Kill Me / Kenneth Keith Kallenbach Band show in Philadelphia that he was at and he stopped me on the street and asked if I was that guy. When I returned back to the holding room and they finally let me go, I walked all the way from East Village to Penn Station and I accidentally walked a few blocks too far and if that wouldn't have happened I wouldn't have missed my first train back home. There was an old man playing keyboard and he had these little dolls of black girls on the top of the keyboard taped on that would dance for periods of 30 seconds and every time they would stop he'd continue to play keyboard with one hand and with the other hand turn the dancing dolls back on. He was truly amazing and I put a dollar in his basket. A crackhead asked me for change while I was watching this man play keyboard. She told me a story about being pregnant and being stranded and just needing to get home. It was so obvious that she was lying and just wanted drugs. I gave that cunt a dollar just to get out of my face. Less than 30 seconds later I had an instinct to check the "Coin Return" on a payphone and I found a quarter. Later on, a man who smelled like alcohol started talking to me about random bullshit and then asked if I had any spare change. I gave him a dollar. Later on, a guy told me he was stranded and needed 3 more dollars for a train ticket. I gave him a quarter and less than 30 seconds later I found a quarter on the ground. These people need to just look harder as opposed to harassing me! Anyway, I finally got home at 12:30am the next day. It was such a long stressful day.
