Guest Post: Ten Reasons Zach Braff And I Are The Same Person


Hello! I'm shirking the standard content, and sharing this post from Jeff.  It made me laugh. 

Also shamelessly plugging his project. Enjoy.


Ten Reasons Zach Braff And I Are The Same Person

If you haven’t figured this out on your own yet, I’ll just tell you. Zach Braff and I are the same person. The similarities are as uncanny as they are plentiful. Let me run down the list for you.
1. Zach was born in New Jersey. I was born in San Jose.
2. Zach is 38 years old. I’m 35.
3. Zach wrote, directed and acted in Garden State. I watched Garden State.
4. Zach was Punk’d by Ashton Kutcher when he caught a kid tagging his Porsche. I used to sell spray paint in my gallery.
5. Zach has worked with Natalie Portman and Method Man at the same time. I worked with a guy once that would clock in then just go home.
6. Zach has hosted Saturday Night Live. The last time I watched Saturday Night Live “live” was probably junior year in high school.
7. Zach was the star of a TV show called Scrubs. I was the star of my 8th grade play and I have no idea what the name of it was.
8. Zach has over 1 million Twitter followers. I follow close behind at just over 800.
9. Zach opened a restaurant in New York City called Mermaid Oyster Bar. I went to New York one time with my friend Ryan.
As you can see, the similarities are endless, but the fact that we are the same person couldn’t be more evident than now. And that brings us to number…
10. We both launched a Kickstarter campaign this month. He’s a writer/actor/director so his project is, obviously, to make a movie. I’m a painter so my project is, obviously, to make a painting.
I’m looking at this as a friendly competition among buddies.

27 days from now let’s tally up our funding to see who wins. Honestly, I think he has a chance to beat me, but this early in the game you never know what can happen. If you only back one project this month make it this one. Good luck, Zach.
See ya,
Jeff

We Read SLO, Book Club Info...

I've had a lot of people contact me recently to ask if they can "join" our book club.  In case you've been wondering too, I wanted to address this and a few other questions, here for everyone.  

WE READ SLO, is a public book club, open to anyone who may be interested in participating.  You don't need permission to attend, there is no commitment to come every time, and there are no fees. Heck, some of our members don't even finish the books- and still come hang out to discuss the chapters they did read.  And that's totally OK!  If you have an interest in books, reading, and monthly discussion with like-minded peeps, please feel free to check it out.  We always discuss the books we've read, but I've found that the conversations often veer away from a specifically book-centric discussion and lead to some pretty intriguing topics and tangents.  I love that!  It's also been great fun to connect with, and learn more about fellow book clubbers- outside of the usual "Hi, how are you? Yeah, I'm good.  N'kay, bye" sort of conversations we have on the sidewalk.  I love hearing their opinions and ideas, and I especially enjoy the dialog when those opinions differ from my own.  This is juicy stuff, guys!  

So, FYI... our next club meeting will be at Linnaea's on Nov. 27th at 6:30pm.  We've been meeting in the back garden, but it has started to get cooooold- so either dress extra warm and cozy, or we'll take a vote on moving the meeting indoors.  

Our current book is: A Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling (available on SALE at Barnes & Noble).  Have you read it?  I'm still catching up after my whirlwind work schedule these past couple of weeks, but I'm excited to get together for our discussion.  

BOOK NERDS, UNITE!  Hope to see you soon.  :)
