Anthony Millionaire
I caught up with old pal and former Wonderful Guise Anthony Millionaire while in LA.
Currently, he's working on a tv show for Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" based on his comic strip, "Maakies".

Old Friend Mark Stewart Up For Tony Award
Finally someone I know is famous!
In the 80's in crazy Kreuzberg, West Berlin, a bunch of us belonged to this good-time group called the 'Wonderful Guise'. Mark Stewart was one of the lead musicians.
Well, Mark Stewart is now up for a Tony award as "Best Musical" for his show 'Passing Strange'. According to a write-up in the Village Voice, this Bildungsroman in musical form "takes him to Amsterdam and then to Berlin, where he's indoctrinated into hardcore bohemian life."
Hardcore bohemian is was! Above is a shot from a concert we gave at the venerable SO36. Mark's on the left, followed by Enrico, Freie, Art and me. Not pictured were Marek the drummer and Anthony Millionaire (of Maakies fame) who did the costumes and sets.
UPDATE: Results are in. 'In the Heights' won out over 'Passing Strangely' for Best Musical which kind of makes sense considering the subject and location of each show. 'Passing Strangely' did get the 'Best Book' Award which is still pretty good.
