Dear Shep Collidus,

I can't take this anymore. I am writing to tell you that if there is no packet in my P.O. Box this afternoon, I might do something dramatic. Do you think that people who fart on subways do it on purpose...as something "dramatic"? Because that's kind of along the lines of what I was thinking. How's your day?

Back to the Box for a mo'. I think I'll be checking it sometime around 2ish/3ish or something like that. Sound good? I'll call you on all the fancy numbers you have. We can either scream and/or cry together...

Maybe, if you're feeling up to it, you can blow that joint and meet me for a mid-afternoon cocktail to celebrate/drown our sorrows/toast our triumph of simply doing what we set out to do in the first place...that is, writing a play against all odds (in hopes of maybe winning an Obie or something). There HAS to be something in there today! If there isn't, I'm calling their offices on Monday. For serious. I'm not kidding around here. I mean business, Shep.

So, anyway, hope your morning is a real peach. I'll be in touch again soon.

Sincerely,

Mamie Bunker

p.s. Going to Pret for lunch today? I highly recommend the Just Made Avocado Grana Padana Parmegiano.

Dear Ritzie Pooch,

This email really brightened my morning! Seriously, they have to have sent the letter. Who do they think we are? Waiters? We wait for no one, especially not serial workplace safety violators. Oh, and theatre festivals. We don't wait for them either. Come on, Fringe! I have to know whether I need to diet or not.

Lovingly,

Zeb Hollander

Good morning Senor Popeo,

OMG. We're playwrights.

Happy Friday (for real!),
