I’m two weeks away from launching my web opus: USofAnderson.com—hence my recent hiatus from the blogging world.

It’s a project that has consumed me like a room full of puppies, vicious puppies gnawing my ankles like KFC chicken wings, for nearly three years.

God or Muhammad or my mother has given me the strength to push on even when my web programmer disappeared with valuable code, my talented editor took a job in the Republic of Georgia, and my editing suite (aka apartment) became overrun by cockroaches.

The arc of history is long, but it bends toward the web launch: 10.26.09. Stay tuned.

I would be remiss in my blogging duties if I did not acknowledge that Minnesota’s own Har Mar Superstar performed at the Echoplex last Thursday in my Echo Park neighborhood. Sadly, I could not be in attendance, but my hipster/indie friends reported that it was awesome—with “lots of ridiculousness.” His new single, “Tall Boy,” wailed.

Har Mar Superstar’s LA cache is only growing. It was announced last week in the trades that he is part of of a new HBO single-camera comedy, Stich N’ Bitch, penned by Ellen Page (Juno) along with Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development star) and Sean Tillmann, AKA Har Mar Superstar. The three worked together on Drew Barrymore’s Whip It, a film I will see when it comes out on VHS.

The show follows: “Two painfully cool hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles' Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists—of any kind.”

As a former resident of LA’s Silver Lake neighborhood, I’m not feeling Emmy on this idea, but I could be wrong. Har Mar packs a punch and nice paunch.
