Check me out, I is in the big old San Francisco newspaper:

(Yeah, I’m writing this by email so if you are inclined to peek it
would have to be a cut and paste from here, until I get home and fix
this post into proper linkage action.)

Being comedy and press and all sorts of begging for attention, the
above all reminds me to say something about the movie "Grizzly Man."=20
Great fucking flick. Tim Treadwell was most likely a complete and
total wackjob, but his videotape is pretty incredible. And, Werner
Herzog just caresses the footage into something else again.

For anyone not familiar, Tim Treadwell was a self-appointed guardian
to the grizzlies in the Alaskan wilderness, who spent 13 summers just
hanging out and keeping an eye on them. His watch was controversial
with some supporters among environmentalists and some who clearly
thought he did more harm than good.

What I didn’t realize was that before he embraced his bear cause, he
tried to make it in LA as an actor (but ended up struggling, doing
drugs and waiting tables). In some ways, the interviews about that
time in his life reminded me of 12,003 different comedians/actors I’ve
met and their delusions of grandeur.

Unfortunately, none of those comics ended up eaten by bears, like
Treadwell, no matter how many of us wished it to be so.
