So this post is complete, utter, total and shameless pimping of myself and the brilliant cast who crank up the ACME Love Machine to eleven.
If you’re local to Los Angeles, and you haven’t been out to see ACME Love Machine, tonight would be the best night of all for you to come and collect your share of the funny.
I’m in this show that will eventually air on VH-1, and as part of their profile on me, they’re coming to the theatre tonight to tape our show. It would be awesome to give them a full house.
Please come see us tonight if you haven’t, or even if you have already. Thanks!!

Looks like tonight’s the night for me to finally get to the Acme. See you tonight! \m/
Break a leg, Wil! Have a kick ass show tonight.
Maybe work some of “Walter’s” best lines into a skit??? -finders, keepers-
hey Wil,
I just called Acme and left a message… I sure hope they aren’t sold out (yet!). I’ve really wanted to see this show, so maybe I’ll see you tonight!
Peace,
Terry
p.s. As several others have asked: how is Sketch doing? You wrote a lot about him for a while, but I figure he’s ok now?
Hey Wil,
I booked my reservations yesterday for tonites 8pm show. Can’t wait to see the show!
Great work on CSI this week. Would love to see them work a recurring spot for ‘Walter’. Maybe as Grissom’s trusty sidekick. 😉
See you tonite!

What VH1 profile? Huh?
When?
What time?
How long?
Geeze.
Do you even get paid for shit like that?
Well Wil, if I was still living in L.A. that would be about a mile from my Apartment..
But Alas I’m stuck back in OHIO for now.. 🙁
Have a good show!!!!!!!

An Egg Radio insider is going to be there recording bootlegs on her Treo650 for re-broadcast!
r0xx0rz!
You have to take this road on the show, we’re dying to see you in Philly!
My wife and I on for the 19th since I’m in town for training.
Now see? This is an example of what I miss out on by living on the East Coast! Good luck, have a great time and I look forward to seeing you on VH1.
Kick butt tonight.
I wanna hear more about this VH1 deal.
Let’s just say that I saw this show back in December and I still find myself humming Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love”
Rock on Wil!
\m/
Can’t be there, but I know you’ll all be fantabulous. Have fun!
Any chance of that VH-1 taping making it to DVD?? Or if not…any chance of ACME taping it as well and selling the DVDs?? Most of Hubby’s plays and things are taped by a local photographer, who then puts them on DVDs and sells them in the theater for those who missed the show. Your out-of-town posse members would snap them up, and you could raise some serious ducats for a charity of your choice, or the theater, or whatever, if any such thing might/could happen. Can you tell I’d really like it if it would?? I hope so! I’ll go now….

Come on people! This is a great show! It’s also an opportunity to see Wil LIVE and in the flesh! What better way to spend a Saturday night??? I had a wonderful time when I saw it. I even had a chance to actually TALK to Wil after the show was over!
If you liked CSI, you’ll love this more because Wil has so much more stage time than was allowed on CSI! Go before you regret it!!!

Wil,
To me, comedy is the hardest type of acting. The fact that you have done such a great job, at Acme, for so long speaks for itself. I know everything will go well.
FG
So, I’ve been reading your book Just a Geek, and I absolutely fucking LOVE IT!!! When you talked about the Star Trek: The Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas, I was like, I love that place! And I’m sorry if I sound like a retard right now, but it’s really late in Michigan right now. Stupid three hour difference. And I loved you on CSI the other night! You were superbly FANTASTICAL! I love you, Wil Wheaton, and Wesley Crusher was the reason I watched Enterprise back in the day. Cause he was cool, and I didn’t know what actors were at the time. I thought it was just awesome. And I love the feeling of nostalgia you get when you watch something you personally worked on in earlier parts of your life. I look at musicals I did in high school and wish I could do them all over again. Just because they were so much fun, and I loved everyone involved.
We are family.

Just got home from seeing the show… wow! That is a really funny and talented group of people! What a pleasure it must be to call that work! 🙂 I met and spoke briefly with Ryan (while you were greeting your con fans); what a great kid (and a great handshake, too)! Also met and chatted with Chase Masterson (so cool that she made it to your show!) and found out that she is a jazz singer… so I told her about some great LA jazz hangs… and got to meet Loretta (watcher652?); what a great lady and faithful monkey! Anyways… thanks so much for the great show! I’ll take your advice and skip the con talk tomorrow, and catch you sometime locally.
Take care,
Terry

What a great experience you had oboeterry!
Wil, I totally concur with what warcrygir said above. We East Coasters miss all your interesting stuff. Although you do not like to fly and want to stay close to home etc.,you need to bring some of your great talent to the East. 🙂 It would also be great if the ACME show could be taped before it ends. I have wanted to catch it, but could not make it to CA. 🙁
Wil,
I agree with other posts, come to the east coast… so many of us would love to see you and your show….. well i cant wait to see you on vh1… and awesome job as “walter”…
Hi Wil,
I’ve been reading you on the sly at the hospital (I’m a doc not a patient) for about a month now and thought I’d drop a line to say I have introduced 5 people to the site (all of whom love it)! I too am stuck in Ohio and can’t enjoy Love Machine before it says bye, so I’m with the group who bet a bunch of your 10k + readers would want to buy a copy of the DVD…
Why do I live so far away?
i don’t find myself saying it very often, but if only i wasn’t in detroit…
now then. tell us more about this VH1 thing!
I was only able to see the first half of the show because I had to catch a flight back to NYC. I will never forget your frozen face in the Office sketch! Loved all your characterizations – every “O.C.!” was delivered uniquely and can’t wait to play poker with you someday – getting rich is definetly better than being bored.
This show needs to run again; the writing quality is very high and I was especially impressed with the level of acting from everyone. This is major stuff. Even simple lines such as “Please don’t talk to me.” elicited howls of delight. Well-written, well-directed, well-acted. A Triumph!
Wish I lived nearby so I could visit more often (and congrats on CSI – yes, this should be a recurring character) and I read GEEK on the way home on the plane – made me laugh and made me cry.
Best to you always, talented Wil.
