I expect that in his bio somewhere it says he has been a bartender at some point in his life.

I like the not-by-name shoutout for Ben Cook in there. I love those books, but I feel like the second book closed the story nicely. I'd rather see more books like that one for variety since there's so much lacking (I guess?) in that department.

I see they're changing the book's "ET: the Musical" to "Lilo and Stitch: the Musical". That makes sense in terms of working with a similar Disney property, instead of having to get rights to ET, but since Lilo is a girl, the main plotline of Nate understudying another boy in a lead role is going to take a LOT of work to resolve.

Seems to me it'll be like a BETM movie where Jackie is a choreographer who doesn't want his younger son to take up boxing.... Wonder if we could start a petition drive to change to "Flight of the Navigator"...?
