Also, I'm writing a weekly blog about the show at http://www.hbo.com

Thank you for your interest!

Here's my blog on "Bored to Death": http://www.hbo.com/boredtodeath/blog/#top

Each week, I'll write about the episode that has just aired.

For anyone, who tuned into the show, I thank you. I appreciate the support!

Tonight, Wednesday, September 23, the debut episode will be rebroadcast at 10p.m. on HBO, if you didn't get a chance to see it.

And the show will air every Sunday at 9:30, following "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Thanks!

Here's an essay I wrote about creating "Bored to Death": http://www.hbo.com/boredtodeath/blog/

Also, I will be at the Brooklyn Book Festival, Sunday, September 13th, at five p.m. on the main-stage (City Hall, I believe) with David Cross and others, and Monday, September 14th, I will be hosting a benefit for 826nyc, with John Oliver and others. This is at the Highline Ballroom. Google 826nyc for details. I'm sorry that I don't have them handy.

"Bored to Death" will begin airing Sunday, September 20th at 9:30 p.m., following "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

There's an article on the show and me in this Sunday's NY Times . . .

I've said it many times and have apologized for it many times, but it does bare repeating -- I apologize for all this self-promotion. It never feels good, but at the same time, I do like to let people know, who might be interested, in what's going on. So it's always a dilemma.

Anyway, most things are a dilemma. Two sides of the coin and all that.

Well, if you're reading this, then you're interested in what might be happening in my artistic career, and so I thank you for this interest.

all the best,

Jonathan Ames

Also, my new book, The Double Life is Twice as Good, is still out; The Alcoholic comes out in paperback September 20th, and my first novel, I Pass Like Night, was published twenty years ago this month (August).
