Molly Durand
Molly Durand and music will forever be synonymous in my mind. Early days in LA 2008, we had a gang of misfits that drank too much and would see everyone’s comedy, music, and theater shows; Molly would always be in that rotation heavily for me. Molly has a presence about her on stage that comes from a deep, genuine place that can move a motherfucking mountain range. It sounded like she was releasing raw chunks of her soul in each note, and you can feel it in the room; her presence demands attention. I was in awe of that level of vulnerability and singing talent as a then-closeted musician. Molly told me she traveled the world with a large choir in her youth and once sang for the pope – (I’m not sure which one, prolly the coolest one, though) – and in these large venues, churches and cathedrals having the music they sang give her the feeling of connecting to a higher power, oneness, global consciousness, whatever you want to call it. Whatever you call it, if you’ve been lucky in life, you may have experienced a similar euphoria, a connection and feeling that Molly said she has chased ever since. I’ve experienced the same thing, but it was because I drank a 40oz of Mickey’s and took two hits of acid at some old hippie show (Rat Dog?) in Detroit when I was about 16 – which is sort of like church.

Thomas Haake
We met when I was a paleontologist, and he was Shaggy from Scooby Doo. A true story. A true gem. A true diamond in the rough, and above all, Tommy has been a patient and kind teacher to me. How he managed to get new skills past the dense layer of cannabis and psilocybin that coats my brain I’ll never know. He taught me to fish! Not literally, like in the sense he passed a skill down to me, the basics of car and motorcycle maintenance – the dude taught me how to turn a wrench, and I was infinitely safer on the road because of it. The skills he passed along are things I will always remember, and I will be forever grateful for. He has created for major motion pictures, built racing simulators, race cars, races go karts, and blows healthy farts. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Thomas Elizabeth Haake.

Sitara Falcon
Sitara Elizabeth Falcon and I met in 2008 when we were working on “National Lampoon’s Lemmings” revival together. It was theoretically bringing back the vibe of the OG Lemmings, with Belushi, Chevy, Christopher Guest so it felt like the most important thing that had ever happened to me in my life and I was terrified. I very vividly remember walking into a large, low budget film studio around fairfax and 3rd. It was the first professional gig I had booked since moving to L.A from Detroit and I was terrified of being the least qualified comedian there. I couldn’t have known it in the moment, but Sitara was the perfect first person to meet in a cast of insanely talented young improvisers, sketch and stand up comedians. Sitara is genuine, and genuinely kind, insanely talented, a fantastic father and probably an OK husband. Sitara Elizabeth is impossible NOT to like – so I asked the motherfucker to officiate my wedding. Pandemic 2020 hit, we went from a 300 person wedding to 3. Sitara met my (then) fiancé and I at Neptunes Net in Malibu, we drove just behind it following the first road we saw up into the mountains until we found an old tsunami evacuation road winding up, in and around for several miles until we felt like it was a good time to stop. Sitara bravely hiked into the brush and it was like out of a dream. We found a clearing and a little flowing stream, and this beautiful son of a bitch married my wife and I in front of the mountains in Malibu, jesses H christ is that the most CA story you’ve ever heard? This motherfuckers real name is Sitara Falcon, I love him like family – and more than most of my family – and I wish he would stop letting his kids read my text messages and listen to my voice mails. Sitara is an Actor, VO talent, teacher and friend of 15 years . Youtube – https://youtube.com/@falconnye
