Independence Day Weekend
This year, the kids saw their first fireworks show (we are infamous among many of our parents for putting our kids to bed when it’s still light out. But this year we figured they were old enough to take to the Hollywood Bowl for their Independence Day weekend show. Hall & Oates were the headliners, and maaaaan, they got HITS! From “Sara Smile” to “Private Eyes” we were rocking from start to finish.
I didn’t know the conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra was a black man, but man that made all the sweeter as I discussed his job with the kids. No need to make it an explicit racial conversation…him standing there is all it takes.

THE MOTHERFUCKER WITH THE HAT is one of the best plays I have ever seen. Brilliant writing, great cast…even the sets are wonderful. My man Chris Rock goes to another level in it, but truly every single cast member is a joy to watch.
It was also great to hang out in the dressing rooms and in the theatre before the show. Felt like I was walking through the movies of such scenes I’ve seen my whole life.
And just like in the movies, there was a crowd after the show asking for autographs:
While on the East Coast, I also visited the set of ARE WE THERE YET? No shots of the show (yet) but here I am at the train station in Stamford, Conn. I love travelling by train.
Here’s a shot of the Statue of Liberty from one of the tall buildings in Tribeca:
But best of all, I got to attend the jamming birthday party of Selwyn Hines. Look for his comic book debut soon!
He’s going to being setting it off at this cool underground club next to the Pink Teacup down in the Village on Friday nights all summer long. Here he is on the Wheels of Steel:
