Even though I felt like total crap (that’s better than a pile of ass but not as bad as complete and utter crap), the Midi-clorians that make me an actor took over just before showtime, and I had a great show last night. I had as much fun and felt as relaxed during and after the show as I did last week, which means that the performance last week wasn’t a fluke — this show really is as good as I think it is.
In fact, that’s the whole point of this entry: I want to make sure that everyone who reads my blog knows how honored and proud I am to work with the amazing actors and writers who are in ACME: A Day In The Life. I didn’t think there would ever be a show as much fun as Love Machine, but it turns out I was wrong.
I wish we could extend for another ten performances, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen; with ten actors, many of whom have families, it’s just too hard to commit to that long of a run, especially through summer.
The run ends on June 18th. Please, please please come out and see ACME: A Day In The Life before it’s just another poster on the wall.

Don’t you mean that total crap is worse than a pile of ass? ‘Cause it doesn’t seem to make sense the way it is now.
Damn cerebus19! I wanted the first comment!
Anyway, are we back to 11 cubic feet?
Midi-chlorians don’t exist! They really don’t! *sob*
I’d love to come out and see the show Wil, but I live in Nashville Tennessee, so unless you are going to be on the road down here, I can’t see it. Crap. I’d love to see it.
Hey Wil!
I had so much fun last night! And maybe more importantly, so did my friend whom I had to drag along promising that it was going be awesomely funny. Afterwards he couldn’t stop talking about the show. It is a very talented group of people. I hope you feel better soon!
Saw the show last night it was great! One question I notice you laughed durring the restaurant sketch when the actor playing the waiter did the call back on your “it normally takes longer but we already had one ready” line was that not planned? At any rate it was funny both times. Also my girlfriend nearly blacked out from laughing durring the Sea World bit.
hey uncle Willie
iffin ya fly me and a guest round trip, i can come see your show.
but it would have to be on a weekend cause i got school.

One word: Webcast!!!
You no-where-close-to-California sycophants demand it!
So wish we East Coasters could see this Wil. 🙁 WEB CAST IS A GOOD THING! Glad that you were able to get through the show, especially sick. You’re a trooper.
Peace
Sorry can’t be there but if you are ever in Albuquerque let me know.
Madie
Please, please, please make the show available via a webcast, dvd, or jedi mind trick. Whatever it takes to allow those of us who are too far away, and too poor to change that fact, to see the show. There has to be some way for us to get in on the fun. Right?
And please, don’t ever mention the dreaded midi-clorians again. We’ll let you get away with it this time because we know you’ve been sick. But for the love of all that is holy and right with the universe – never again!
Some of the actors are pretty cute, too, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Wil,
Incase your resting to get rid of the cold and bored, check this puzzle out. It had me entertained for a bit.

I also put up a post about Star Wars being sued by Trinity College Dublin for copying their library as the Jedi Archives in Episode ii: attackof the clones without permission from the college. Apparently there was more cloning going on in Episode 2 that Lucas arts let on…..

Hey Wil,
You’re still young and will have many more opportunities to exercise your funny in future projects. Best of luck to you.
Carry on! And may the. . . . Nope, I can’t bring myself to say it.
hey wil! sorry i can’t be there. i wish i could come. but if you’re ever in virginia look me up. look through the ligons in buffalo jct. it’ll take a while but i’m not that hard to find. just have a fun time. keep us all laughin with your jokes. still wish i could go dammit! anyway have a great time! sending hugs and kisses for good luck! laney
Of course I send well wishes on getting better, then the next day I get hit with it. I blame the cottonwood trees around here though. And amazingly through a craving I had while grocery shopping… Dill Pickle potato chips help the scratchy throat that comes along with whatever this stuff is I’ll call “the ick”… and they’re tasty too (if you’re into that sort of thing).
And ditto with everyone else, bring the show on the road if possible… there isn’t much out here in the form of entertainment in Kansas!
I’m on the East coast too (canadian east coast, however…). But I can guarantee you that if I win the lottery in the next few days, I’m catching the first flight out to Cali (probably in first class – hey I just won the lottery, lemme enjoy my fantasy here!!!) and I’m going to see Wil’s show. (And Wil, don’t wear yourself out completely, darling. Your health is just as important as your show!!) 😉
Wil–
First time here. Got waxing nostalgic on Nickerblog in regards to the Enquirer story there, about the first few times I saw Stand By Me and the scene you tell the Lard-Ass story in, which was one of the early triggers that made me want to be a storyteller.
A journalism degree and years of pissing around with words later, here we are.
I’d see Acme if you were in Vancouver, but you’re not, so we’re both shit outta luck, man.
If you want some literary debauchery to get you through your congested hell, pop by my piddly rag and read the PORT-A-JOHN PORN I’ve posted, It’s better than it sounds. (You’d think, as a writer, I’d try to make it sound better, but I secretly enjoy the dirty, dirty sound of “port-a-john porn.” Besides, port-a-johns have those nifty hand-sanitizing lotion now.
And we all love lotion.)
The Last Ditch.
Oh, man, I have to be approved? Geez. There’s that inevitable mounting of that fear of authority I always try to keep in check.
On a Sunday, no less. Sigh.
Geeze loise – some times I get so exasperated with producers!
WHY dont they understand that with a global socieity – there is SOOO MUCH MONEY (capsintended) to be made from us poor adoring and REMOTE fans who are just looking for any reason to spend money on any products with a wilwheaton name on it!!!
You sir, might get a clue from those %50 books that you wrote your name on,~ to explain to others interested in your acting experiences, that one of the pieces of value you bring is a ready made (notofinconsiderablesize) fans!
You probably havent been to a show like Cirque du Soleil or Cavalia but they both get fans to spend hundreds of dollars on trinkets of memories including buy the way snacks with the stars during the break or after the show for a short time at another $150 a shot or so.
If you go to CirqueduSoleil.com website, you will see their products are very well set up.
Might give you a few ideas. Like putting together a cd of some of your stories (don’t you still have vet bills? (sigh) I just discovered a rescue of mine I helped birth has cancer everywhere and not expected to live a month -how could I not know it? Sorry – anyway dont you still have another 2 grand to find somewhere for your vet bill?
I am sure that Linus has a verson of the free audio program Audacity that does GREAT recording on your pc. You could stomp out cd’s for just pennies on the dollar, on demand (request).
THEY (ACME) could make more money buy using a $500 camera, converting to digetal and stomping out CDs in a much more informal way so those of us that never get to see you in other then the Wesley/crazed homeless man mode could see!
Anyway just a few thoughts for some easy revenue.
Congradulations btw on pulling off the sick but doing it anyway routine!
Please, please, please with lovely cold beer and decent cigars for afters, consider finding a way for us poor slobs to enjoy the ACME shows. Webcast, CD’s, scripts, something, anything, please?
The shows just sound so funny and if I had a way to go see them, believe me, I would. Pretty please?
And I dearly hope you start to feel better soon. Colds are simply no fun and I wish you a speedy recovery.
May I ask why my comment about your blog being the number one celebrity blog was deleted?
Saw the show on Saturday night. LOVED IT! Even appeared that in some of the scenes the ‘congestion’ helped you. 😉 Keep up the great work Wil!
p.s. Tell Annie that she is a HOTTIE!
Hey!
I thought of you tonite, not quite sure how this actually relates to you, but it was what jumped into my mind!
I was watching moolite mile for like the millionth time and the girl takes off her shirt.. i was wondering if they teach something in acting school about how to take your shirt off and it looks sexy! It might be my huge a** ears.. but mine always gets stuck on my head and it aint cute! the curiosity is killing me! (for real)
oh and i second the motion for a vancouver show.. i would drive there for it!
Just reading the entries you do on your show makes me want to see it. Sounds like an excellent night out… but it’ll have to wait till you perform up here in Alaska. 🙂 Sorry its coming to an end.
This is off topic but: where is that new site design we were promised?
Glad you were able to conjur the funny through the mucous. Also glad to hear that you were right about the show being fantastic. I wish we could catch one of the ACME shows, but, it’s kinda hard…what, with us being in Jersey and all. Go figure.
Also, someone made a comment about this being the best celebrity blog. I never think of it like that. “Celebrity.” It’s just a great damned blog, period. Prolly ’cause you’re such a great story teller and writer.
We were over in LA from the UK weekend before last, we caught the Saturday night (8th May) show. When Wil came on at the end of the show and introduced all the other cast members, he didn’t seem to give his name as Wil Wheaton. Anyone ideas or did I just mis-hear?
Thanks
Andrew
The show rocked harder than it has before! It just gets funnier and funnier… 😀
andrew – I missed the early May showing, but at the end of the 14th show he introduced himself as Greg Turner. teehee.
Andrew,
The name he gives when introducing the cast is the name of one of his very memorable characters from the previous Acme LoveMachine show.
-Matt
Wish I lived out near there so I could see the show. From the sounds of it, it sounds high-larious.
What are you going to do after this is done?
Wil,
I am in agreement with the above folks. Its great hearing about your show and I bet its fabulous, but I have no chance of getting out of North Carolina anytime soon. I’m all for webcast or DVD or something like that. Hope the mucous is thinning out and you are feeling better and enjoy the rest of your shows to the fullest!!
Sandra
I would love to see the show…only problem is I live in Michigan. =(
I hope you feel better Wil.
Wil,
I’d love to come out and see the show ‘cept… where is it? The web site says nothing about where it is (maybe in that jpg, but it’s so tiny it makes my eyes hurt trying to read the small print). Let me know, and maybe, if you’re very good, I’ll bring a Green Army Man or two with me (but no dirtbike).
-Chris
Yeah…hmmm…ok, it’s like this: I live in Indiana. It’s all shitty regional theatre at IU and corn. Accent on the corn.
Speaking of corn, this is how backward people in Indiana are. When I was a about 13 some of the neighborhood three-teethers, took me out one night to go corning. Apparently some people in this world that find throwing dried kernels of corn at cars and houses is supremely entertaining.
At any rate, nice work on the gig, feel better.
–Chip
Mwuahaha, I knew you were cool. Now I have proof. My best friend and my boyfriend made fun of me for liking you and Star Trek. My best friend is obsessed with Power Rangers (he’s 17) and my boyfriend plays Warhammer, which is basically a bunch of plastic action figures. -_-
Anyway, congratulations on your saucesome show. I hope the rest of the run is great too and I hope you continue to feel better.
–Shelli
Hi, Wil!
I’m planning to see ACME with my partner. I would like to know how much is the ticket?
Also, is the whole cast signing autographs after the show? Are you signing any autograph after the show?
Thanks and more power to Wil Power! LOL!!!

When you get the show to Iowa, let me know… 🙂
Glad to hear whatever works is helping you feel a bit better. Hope you get ALL better SOON. (…and please don’t give it to anyone else…)
