Fractions Speak Louder Than Nerds

Dear All,So much to talk about, so I'll get right to it:
The official "Last Kiss" website (www.lastkissmovie.com) has officially been launched so go check it out. The same robots who designed this site and the Garden State site did it, so keep your eyes open for lots of sneaky Easter eggs and hidden coolness. On that note, many of you have been writing me about the 3 Easter eggs on this site. It sounds like most of you have found them, so I'll have to talk to the main robot and tell him to plant more.
Also, the Cary Brothers music video I directed for the song, "Ride" is up on Yahoo as an exclusive premiere- as soon as I can I'll post it here as well. And as promised, one of my short films from film school should be up sometime early this week.
So it looks like I'm gonna be hosting a very special, "Last Kiss" radio show on indie 103.1 on Sunday 9/3. Don't worry if you're not in LA, as I learned after the fact last time you can listen to the station streaming from any computer in the world and parts of Mars on the station's website (www.indie1031.fm). The plan is still in the works, so I can't promise it's gonna happen; but there is talk of some very special live acoustic performances by artists on the soundtrack including the grande finale: a few acoustic renditions by none other than Remy Zero. Now if this whole thing falls apart don't be pissed of at me, but I'm doing my best to put it together.
Also on the "Last Kiss" front please continue to check out the podcast on itunes. I think there's 2 new ones every week. The robot to your left is also offering up cool banners for your site if you're interested. I told him to leave you guys alone, but he just flashed his red eyes at me at muttered something that sounded like, "Leave the banner offering to me, bitch. Mind your own business." But it could be I misunderstood him, he does have a yiddish accent.
The myspace thing is crazy; almost 20,000 friends! Not too shabby for a couple of weeks. Thank you guys again for the nice words of support you've been offering up. I'm very clear that I wouldn't be able to do what I love to do if it weren't for my fans. So thank you.
Oh, have you ever checked out this site, www.threadless.com? They have the coolest t-shirts ever. I just bought one that says, "Fractions speak louder than nerds." And another one that had two unicorns banging each other. Anyhoo, we're gonna do a contest with them. I'll have more details soon, but basically it will be to design a shirt inspired by the "Last Kiss" trailer and the tagline, "We all make choices. What's yours?" The design doesn't neccessarily need to have anything to do with the movie, it just has to be something that you were inspired to create by watching the trailer and thinking about that line. The winner will get their shirt made and it'll be available for sale on their site. Also, they'll get an ipod mini and a pair of ipod speakers and probably some other cool swag too. Again this is something in the planning stage, but if you're interested go check out that site, it's really cool either way.
So as you can see, my life has been consumed with spreading the word about all things "Last Kiss". We had the press junket this weekend, which basically means dozens of reporters come to one hotel and interview the cast about the movie so they can go write stories that will come out in their local newspapers or news shows the week the movie comes out. If you don't like the movie, it can be a real pain in the ass. But I'm really proud of this movie and the press could not have been more into it as well- so that made the time fly by.
Onto to the second week of Scrubs tomorrow morning. Those of you who like the super-trippy surreal stoner humor bizarre episodes (as i do) are gonna be VERY happy this season. Things are crazier than ever.
Also, for those of you who don't know, my brother Joshua Braff wrote an amazing novel called "The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green". It is an AMAZING novel- for those of you that can read- and i guess if you're reading this you can- then check it out. He just got his own myspace page. So click HERE to check it out.
I'll post more when i know more. But now I am very tired and must crash so i can get up super early for work tomorrow.
thank again for being so incredibly supportive,
peace and love,
zb
