I normally don't do this sort of thing, but if you've read Dead Star Twilight, you have a pretty good idea of what former MSNBC Executive Producer Steve Majors means to me. The guy is honestly one of my favorite people in the world and in the years following the events that I documented in the book, we've kept in touch and been each other's cheerleader on more than one occasion.
Well, really, he's mostly been my cheerleader -- which is why it's time I returned the favor.
Majors has co-written a screenplay called My Baby's Daddies. It's a dramedy about a gay couple from Brooklyn who travel to Mississippi at the behest of an adoption specialist who claims to be able to make their dreams of adopting a baby girl come true. I have to imagine it's at least partially based on real-life experiences, considering that Majors and his partner moved from New York to New Orleans a few years back and, the last time I checked, had personally adopted something like 26 kids.
Tomorrow, Majors will be holding a live reading of the screenplay at New Orleans's popular cabaret "Le Chat Noir" on St. Charles Avenue. What he's trying to do, though, when it comes to promotion for both the performance and the screenplay is go all new media and non-traditional marketing. So he's hitting up everyone he can to subscribe to his Twitter account. He admits that he's not Ashton Kutcher (which is unfortunate because if he were it would mean that I could've killed him years ago and prevented much of the general spoiled-kid douchebaggery that he'd go on to inflict upon American culture), but he promises to send plenty of messages from the reading tomorrow night and keep everyone up to date on what will hopefully be the production of the film.
If you don't think it's too much trouble -- and come on, it's as simple as clicking a couple of links -- do my friend a favor and sign up for My Baby's Daddies' Twitter account.
Tell him Chez sent you, and that you loved him in Dead Star Twilight.
