DINNER’S SERVED!

6:35 PM

Kathryn Daniels just told us the story of the time she interned for the Boston company doing MacBeth (you can’t type that on a theater-ish blog, can you?). The press night party was in the real Cheers, Kelsey Grammer was playing MacBeth, and Diane Venora, playing Lady Macbeth came up and laid one on her. Hot. This is why I love actor stories!

6:10 PM

We’ve had this wonderfully simple, heartbreaking Hatemail in the stack for a long time called “Dear Rapist.” It’s one of those Hatemails that’s so personal, so frighteningly real and simple that it’s difficult to approach. Sher Sheets stepped up, had the courage, and did a great job of giving it a straightforward, uncomplicated reading. Congratulations to her!

5:45 PM

Randall Coburn (@randallcolburn), Christopher Dunn-Rankin, and Sher Sheets are now doing some tweets for us!

5:11 PM

Sher Sheets (@shersheets) just showed up, she’s neither actor, nor musician, nor visual artist, per se, but things exist which she finds very distasteful, so she belongs with us!

4:47 PM

While choosing a Hatemail, Kathryn Daniels is telling us the story of her last day at work, when her co-workers bought her a cake, with Fuck Your Life, Kath[illegible]n on it in frosting. Every last day should have profane cake, I think.

4:40 PM

Trevor just played us a sound byte of the piano stool breaking while he was once recording. All of us are rolling on the floor! We’re going to have to put that recording up on the site. It’s amazing.

4:39 PM

Break from the Respite to record another #Hatemail tweet.

4:12 PM

Respite.

4:05 PM

Tom is now recording that really awesome dual-Hatemail “To the Couple on the Barstools Next to me”

3:52 PM

Zach is now recording Dear Angry Limousine Driver. Hatemail is a little like Fight Club, if it’s your first time, you have to hate! …but not really.

3:45 PM

Danielle Gennaoui just did a new tweet Hatemail, with Tom Herman accompanying on piano! All this talent and all these creative tools just laying around Trevor’s apartment, lightning is bound to strike.

3:35 PM

Tom Herman just recorded one of our new tweet Hatemails (@tipyourwaiter, use #Hatemail, if you like, or have space). Sweet!

3:15 PM

Zach Straw (@thegratefulone) is here from The RedEye and ChicagoNow, and his own blog at thegrateful1.blogspot.com. He’s asking us some questions about Hatemail, and is sticking around to record one!
