Lucky Man gets StoryCasting.com'd.

The fine people at StoryCasting.com have reached out to TBWCYL, Inc. spokesperson and Lucky Man author Ben Tanzer and asked that he cast Lucky Man the movie, which of course we realize requires no actual casting, because you know, there's no actual movie. Still, we appreciate the invitation and some of you may even recall that we cast the faux Lucky Man movie once previously for the blog MY BOOK, THE MOVIE. You can visit that piece here and learn all about our feelings regarding not just why Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be so perfect as Louie, but why the Ramones are crucial to the soundtrack and Todd Field is our top choice for director. Meanwhile if you are so inclined you too can visit StoryCasting.com here and identify who you might cast for the non-existent version of the Lucky Man movie. Kind of cool, right? Totally. So many thanks to StoryCasting.com and we look forward to seeing who you come up with.

We have the proof.

Very nice. And how much does Jason Orange rock it? A lot. Please visit the Orange Alert Press blog to hear more from him about the development of the proof and his publishing awesomeness.

Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine audio love.

So we had a very, very cool time yesterday recording sections of Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine. Jason Orange our fearless leader from Orange Alert Press recruited Tim Hall, Amy Guth and Jill Summers to help us out and the five of us, plus surprise ringer Nick Volkert knocked it out at the quite awesome Stray Dog Recording Co. It couldn't have been more fun and we cannot thank all involved more for their time, enthusiasm and support for the book. Jason will be releasing the recordings on the Orange Alert Press blog over the coming weeks and we hope you will find it to be as cool as we think it will be.

Something has gone terribly awry at the Chicago Public Library. For real.

We recently learned that the Chicago Public Library has acquired a copy of Lucky Man and we're thinking that someone there must have made a terrible mistake. We're guessing they meant to purchase a copy of Michael J. Fox's memoir Lucky Man, but are now too embarrassed to admit it. While we apologize for the confusion, we are quite pleased to see that our master plan to co-opt Fox's great success with his book is finally baring fruit.

Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine banner mania.

Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine banner mania has hit the TBWCYL, Inc. headquarters and we couldn't be more geeked about it. If you too are feeling maniacal please visit the Orange Alert Press blog to snag some banner schwag of your own. And then you know, why not tell your friends and family, and maybe your co-workers and that dude you always see on the bus and are hoping to talk to. As far as we are concerned, everyone is invited to get bannered. For real.

An embarrassment of publishing riches - Gone hits the 63 Channels.

What's important to note here though is that we said almost, so please feel free to check it out, who knows, it just might change your life.
