In New Orleans and wondering where the party’s at? It’s at Back Soace Bar tonight, where @LeonardoAudio is hosting a release for two new anthologies—one of which I’m in. Best of all, we promise that unlike the rest of the Quarter, we aren’t covered in urine!

Caught Stealing is way better than its trailer. Darker, bloodier, a movie of back alleys and side streets and a visceral recreation of the NYC I grew up in. Oh, and Austin Butler’s a legit movie star. In case that was in doubt.
