Oscar Zamora y Don Chema in TV commercial!

I swear I just saw Oscar Zamora y Don Chema in a tv commercial! It was a local ad for "Mattresses For Less" in Houston. It was a whole ventriloquist gag with a live kid with a fake Don Chema mustache acting like a ventriloquist dummy.

I wish I could figure out how to post video from my stupid comcast DVR.

BizarreRecords is playwright's fave website

According to W Magazine, which I always thought was a George W Bush fanzine, playwright Douglas Carter Beene names BizarreRecords as one of his favorite websites. He apparently regularly emails things from his fave sites to his mailing list, which includes the likes of Isaac Mizrahi and Nathan Lane.

So, you know, I got that going for me.
