And so the date is 12/10/00 as I type this.  For all those who care, here's some personal info about me.  Just recently I have given my notice at my tech support job to take a break and find an agent.  And to write.  Hopefully, we'll be seeing more of my writing on this site, as well as more pictures. In the meantime, for those of you who who haven't been here in a while (or at all) Here are some pictures from my recent wedding...

Well, we didn't have the biggest wedding, or the best, but we had the coolest and fastest.  My friend Tracy, who just got married herself warned me that the whole day would go by like a shot. She was right.  The event, when it happened, was a blur. Betsy, my wife, was given away by our friends Nathan Caracter and Dave Durbin, who played Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in my show Whatever Happened To Bette and Joan? I don't know whose Idea it was to have them give her away.  I'd like to think it was mine, but I'm not that clever.

The whole day, even now, seems really surreal.  Like take this picture here, of me with my parents, who got divorced in 1980. It's always weird to me to see my parents together, and conversing.  I always feel like one of them has been put in later by a state of the art FX team.  Anyway, on the left there is my mom, Geri Matsushita, mid-blink.  Many-a-time my mom would come home from work, look at me, and say, "What have you been burning?" On the right of me is my dad, Tatsy Matsushita, who is currently married, retired, and living a dream of his by working as a missionary.  Really!

(Oh, and I would be remiss in not mentioning that these photos were taken by my friend and fellow playwright Callen Harty.)

Talk about your weird feelings--these guys are my friends Chris Baker (the one on the left--the one who bothered to wear a suit) and Jesse Greenbaum. These are old friends of mine from New Jersey.  Baker was my best friend in high school (I even based one of my characters in Meeting Jerry Springer--Steve Brodie--on him) and Jesse, I've known for years.  My point is that nothing can match how strange it is when your old friend meet your new friends, or when old friends visit you in Your New Setting.  I once told my friend Seth, when he came to visit once, that it was like that episode of Magnum, P.I. where Simon and Simon came to visit, and you never saw both Simon brothers standing next to him at once, but it was still kind of cool... Yeah, Seth stared at me, too. By the way, I couldn't decide between Seth and my Friend Joe Weiner who should be the best man, so I made them my best men.  I just liked the idea of them teaming up.
