Ditch Wizards, Rich Wizards, Nintendo Wizards

Plans to get Neil here are still underway. His booking agent seems to be comfortable with my new asking price of $1500. I mean, he hasn't told me to fuck off completely. He's trying to negotiate a plane ticket on top of the $1500 fee which might still be doable since Neil would be coming up from L.A as opposed to New York. Last week Jimmy and I constructed a list of friends we feel confident would pony up a bare minimum donation of $20 to see not only Neil, but to send us off happy. We came up with close to forty people, did our algebra, and figured with additional contributions from family and ourselves it'd be very reasonable to raise enough money. Whoops, did I mention this would be our joint going away bash? Well, shit. Excuse me. The night is (knock on wood) going to be billed:

Goodbye David and Jimmy ...thanks - Feat. A Private Evening With Neil Hamburger.

But it looks like we will have to draw up new ways of exceeding of our intended budget or abandon plans altogether. Or...

The private evening might feature another surprise guest for a cheaper price. I'm currently working on contacting him...

Otherwise, June is reaching an end. It's been a solid month. I'm reading two nice yet completely opposite books, watched a great movie called 2 Days In Paris, and found this incredible Japanese one-sheet for The Wizard:
