How I think each member of The Gang bowls:
Frank- Throws overhand, rarely makes it down to the pins so that his ball is just still halfway down the lane. Has to toddle onto the lane to push it the rest of the way. Gets sick of bowling after three frames.
Dee — Exactly like Tom Haverford in Parks and Recreation, with worse results. Prone to awful dancing right in front of the lane when she gets a strike.
Charlie - Somehow actually good. Manages a few strikes or spares and is extremely casual about it. Walks back to the chairs as the bowl is still rolling down the lane, always surprised when Mac starts yelling that he got a strike. The more he drinks the better he gets.
Mac - Very average but has stupid confidence. Stands in front of the lane and does karate moves as he watches the pins get knocked down. Obnoxiously celebrates any time he manages to clears the lane. Charlie’s hype man. Gets worse but more confident the more he drinks.
Dennis - God awful. Starts out with a cocky amount of self confidence until he’s guttering every ball. Says it’s because his wrist hurts and he can’t hold the stupid balls correctly and the bowling shoes mess up his form. Mac tries to help him which just pisses him off and makes him even worse. Refuses to bowl the final few frames because he’s ‘sprained’ his wrist.

I was just wondering, you guys have always said you had the series and where it was going mapped out from the beginning. Is there any storylines or characters that you changed from your original plan as time went on?
omg i absolutely love this question, thank you for asking!! while es and i have always had the general plan and arcs sketched out (literally, we were talking about S3 stuff in the early days of S1 lol, we are crazy), there were definitely things that caught us by surprise or unexpectedly emerged -- one of the most beautiful and baffling parts of the writing process i think.
also in full disclosure, while we definitely do have a lot of big tent poles set up from the very start -- which allows us to make so many early, long-term plants (josh being mentioned in season 1, the lucas patron plot point, brandon and missy both appearing in seasons much earlier than their main storyline), many things still develop organically as the story unfolds. to sound a bit like an insane person (or maybe just a writer -- synonyms?), i have genuinely had moments where it feels like the multiverse is sending me messages through the ether about this story. when an idea that had literally never occurred to me before suddenly hits me like lightning, and i think about it more and then realize it has been perfectly set up like it was just waiting to be incorporated into the story, those moments always feel like multiverse conduit dylan is sending me urgent mental morse code to make sure i get the storytelling right in this world (there is a BIG example of this i'll share later after season 5).
ANYWAY, to your actual question. here are just a handful of moments where i think this applies:
charlie gardner, end of sentence. es and i cop to this all the time, but we legitimately thought of him as an non-entity in season 1 and more of a prop for zay's character and arc than his own fleshed out persona. i feel like compared to other seasons, you can kind of see shades of that in early season 1 -- but once we hit "the miserables," that started to change, and now he is not only one of the most essential ensemble members that we love to write, with one of the richest and most fleshed out character arcs, he is also both es and my's favorite character LOL. it's really remarkable how things like that develop. so as a writer, to any other writers out there -- listen to your characters, and give them the room to grow. they truly might surprise you.
dylan and asher, end of sentence. they also apply in a similar vein as charlie. they were mainly interchangeable comedic relief in season 1, sidekicks to lucas who just happened to be boyfriends too, and now they are such a quintessential... essence of the vibrance of ambition. they literally weren't even going to have individual storylines until we were in the middle of planning season 2, when i randomly decided out of the blue while listening to the grinch soundtrack that i wanted to do a holiday special featuring the two of them. i figured it would be mostly comedic (mostly remained), a short like theoretical 10 minutes in length (definitely did not remain), and that would be that. what it did instead was fleshed out their characters and individual quirks so much in my own head, and from there the whole storyline of their complex dynamic with lucas throughout season 2 just emerged organically and i became obsessed with it (it's one of my favorite parts of season 2). from there, they've become such a seamless piece of the main ensemble -- and, like charlie, very beloved by readers as far as i can tell (which i'm grateful for 😊).
haverford's involvement. again, since we kind of wrote off charlie early on -- big mistake! huge! -- we knew he would transfer but we didn't have a big picture as to what haverford would be like. this led to some admittedly pretty cringe storylines that briefly floated around the idea map, one of which involved zay hooking up with a havie (i think dweezil?). it was needless drama, and it made no sense. i cringe to think about it now. another tip from one writer to others -- you do not have to keep every idea. it's good to have them, like don't scratch out an idea before it gets the chance to breathe, but god, toss the ones that just ain't fresh anymore. anyway, much happier with the story role haverford ended up having instead.
nigel, yindra, and jade. much like dasher, these three were promoted going into season 4 when we realized we felt like they had a lot of story to tell in them (and i'm super glad we did). theirs was more of an organic, natural progression of an ensemble and shifting the nature of the series though going into college, unlike dasher and charlie where it really was like boom suddenly they are everything to me and they were trying to tell me the whole time. but these three are such great additions to main ensemble (individually and with their dynamics) and i am very happy they evolved that way.
rosie and uri. there wasn't any point early on where we set out to be like omg let's have the junior gardner and minkus date, but once the opportunity arose it was just too funny not to (and also a great story vehicle for examining certain elements of the gardner family dynamic + charlie's growth). (and also, i just love the idea of the small ways our lives are interconnected and the extension of the definition of family, etc. etc.) (but again, also, it's just too funny).
like the above, there's another duo that fits into the nearly the exact same category of "we didn't plan for this to be romantic but now i've stumbled upon it and somehow it's the best thing i've ever thought of and i need to follow through immediately," but i won't be able to speak on that until season 5. stay tuned.
the depth of vanessa's character. we always planned to have vanessa be a major character in s4, and we long planned to explore her rivalry / potential feelings with zay. what we didn't expect is how easy it was to expand her world, dig into her insecurities with her family, intermingle her with the main ensemble once the quincy rivalry was set aside, and discover some of the natural characters she just clicks with (one big one is nigel -- writing her scenes with him in 409 was actually so much fun and something i didn't expect to like as much as i did). there's another one that will fit into that in a big way (an endgame, you could say), that shifted slightly from our original plan, but again, will have to wait until s5 is wrapped.
-- Maggie

Day 11 - 8th day of riding
Yes, we got on our bikes today and rode out of Haverford to a campground on the Pennsylvania side of Frenchtown, NJ. At last! Karen, I’m sure you’re enjoying the peace and quiet. Charlie has been hammering out the miles with a big grin on his face.
Tumblr media
Yes, the roads are wet and it rained a little as we left.
So, much of the first 15 miles of our route involved short pops on suburban streets. We really needed to keep track of our lefts and rights. Regardless, the Adventure Cycling route proved to have less car traffic and was pleasant.
Our first stop was at the RetroFuture coffee shop in Amble, PA for some danish and espresso. It set the tone for our stops at 15 mile intervals. After Amble, things opened up a little and we saw more farms and large estates. The roads were rolling and our 2400’ daily gain added up quickly.
After around 35 miles, we had a nice gradual multi-mile descent into the town of New Hope, PA. We immediately crossed the Delaware River which was running fast and high after the rain we had the past two days. On the other side of the river, we had lunch at the “local greek” restaurant in Lambertville, NJ. It was quite good
Tumblr media
Philip’s octopus.
Both New Hope and Lambertville are thriving tourist towns with lots of shops and restaurants. Since the weather was good and probably because it’s Mother’s Day, both towns were jammed with people.
Tumblr media
Over the Delaware with New Hope behind us.
As we rode north along the river, there were several water falls spilling from the bluffs that run parallel to the road. The recent rain helped make them even more beautiful.
Tumblr media

14 miles up river, we pedaled through Frenchtown, a smaller version on New Hope and Lambertville. After passing through Frenchtown, we crossed back over the river to get to our campground 3 miles up the road.
Tumblr media
Bike shop in Frenchtown.
Shortly after we rolled into camp, Philip’s friend Marty pulled in for a visit. They know each other from previous bike tours that they did together, the first one in Poland. Marty was good enough to bring us a six pack which we enjoyed over conversation. It just so happens that Marty has a long AT&T history like me and grew up in the Piscataway area like Charlie. We all had a lot in common and it generated fun recollections.
Tumblr media
Marty and Philip.
Unlike past camping nights, tonight we enjoyed a fire. The camp host gave us a load of wood. Since we were surrounded by empty RVs, we assumed he was looking for conversation and we were glad to talk about our trip.
Tumblr media
Tomorrow we go through the Delaware Water Gap and camp a few miles from there. Look for my next update.
Cheers!
More for the beer list…

Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari—30 Minutes or Less, Parks and Recreation—7/6/11
Jesse Eisenberg recently won an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for portraying Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network. Other credits include Roger Dodger, The Emperor's Club, The Village, The Squid and the Whale, Cursed, The Education of Charlie Banks, The Hunting Party, Adventureland, Zombieland and the upcoming Woody Allen picture The Bop Decameron. Having made his professional debut as a Broadway understudy in Summer and Smoke, Eisenberg remains committed to the stage; he is scheduled to appear later this year in the Off-Broadway debut of his play Asuncion. Actor and stand-up comedian Aziz Ansari is best known for playing Tom Haverford in the ensemble of Parks and Recreation. Since creating and starring in the MTV sketch comedy series Human Giant, Ansari has appeared in the films Funny People, I Love You, Man, Observe and Report and Get Him to the Greek, as well as four episodes of Scrubs, three of Reno 911! and a guest shot on Flight of the Conchords. Eisenberg and Ansari star together in the new action comedy 30 Minutes or Less, which they promoted by serving pizza and meeting the press at San Francisco's Goat Hill Pizza.
Groucho: I guess we'd better turn on the grill. There’s a whole, kind of, running gag in the film about Die Hard and Lethal Weapon and that sort of thing. So you guys are positioned as kind of the “buddy movie” characters gone wrong, or something, right? What’s the secret to a successful “buddy movie” formula, in your opinion, or getting that chemistry going? Aziz Ansari: I don’t know. I mean, for us, I think we didn’t really know each other before the film, and we got to know each other pretty fast, and became good friends. And I think our relationship on screen is kind of a variation on our real-life rapport, if you will. So I think it definitely helps that we are friends in real life and get along well. Groucho: Minus the sister-f—ing. Aziz Ansari: That doesn’t exist, no. I don't have that sister. JE: (Laughs.) Major part, yeah. Groucho: There’s a wrestling scene in the movie. I suppose that might be a way to bond kind of quickly. Was that choreographed, or did you just kind of say, “Let’s just go for it and try not to deviate each other’s septums.” Aziz Ansari: There was some stunt dude that choreographed it, but the kind of goal with that scene was, “Okay, these are two guys that have never done a fight before in their lives. How would they get into a fight with each other? How awkward would that be?” And that was kind of what we were going for, and hopefully achieved. Groucho: Ah, yeah. Agreed. Jesse Eisenberg: Yeah, yeah. And then once you’re on the floor, you kind of—I mean it’s no longer—it’s impossible to choreograph the details, but it was okay because we were supposed to be as clumsy as possible. Aziz Ansari: Yeah. Groucho: Right. This movie was, as the credits informed me, filmed in “Pure Michigan.” Jesse Eisenberg: What does it say? “Pure Michigan?” AA: “Pure Michigan.” I don’t know what that means. G: I think it’s a tourist board thing. JE: Right, right. They must— AA: I’d say pure. G: Was it “pure” for you guys? AA: Why is it—? I don’t get why they say “pure.” JE: It’s possible that means entirely filmed in Michigan. We didn’t film anything elsewhere, did we? AA: Reshoots. JE: Right. Oh, in California. G: It’s like “uncut Michigan.” Unadulterated. AA: Yeah maybe, but we shot it in Grand Rapids, which was a fun town to film in, and they were very nice to us there. JE: Yeah. There was, like, nineteen movies shooting there at the time, because of this tax-incentive that I think is no longer in place. G: Ah. AA: Yeah. JE: They had, like, a 42% tax incentive. AA: A lot of stuff taking place in Detroit, Ann Arbor, you know.
G: I’m not sure whether this movie would actually improve tourism, but maybe it might be a draw for bank robbers.
AA: Yeah. Easy place to rob a bank. G: (Laughs.) JE: I mean, it was beautiful to shoot there because there’s so many different locations. You know, you could be in a big city. Detroit or Grand Rapids. You know, parts of Grand Rapids look like a big city. And then you go out ten minutes, and you’re in an entirely different area, you know, they have the beach there, there’s the lake. It’s a varied landscape. AA: Yeah. JE: Appropriate, you know, for a movie that has to shoot, you know, in many different locations but in a close proximity. G: How do you entertain yourself when you’re in Grand Rapids for a couple of months? AA: You know, we were filming pretty much the whole time we were there, so you know, when we weren’t filming I was kind of getting my rest for the most part. But Grand Rapids is a cool town. And when we did have time off, I enjoyed it there. JE: We would run into the other people…the other people making movies. G: Right, right. Now, in the movie, you play kind of a hotshot driver, Jesse. Did you get to do any of your own driving? JE: Yeah. I did a lot of the driving, which is fun cause I live in New York City, so I never get to drive. I ride a bicycle in New York, and I don’t know if you’ve experienced that, but you have no sense of following any of the rules. So they let me drive. You know, we had this long stunt sequence where we were on a road, and every other car— AA: The car chase, after the robbery. JE: Yeah, I mean the car chase. And every other car on the road was driven by a stunt driver, and there were cops all over, so we got to do anything we wanted and everyone else would kind of react to us. So it was a great opportunity that you would never have in a[nother] situation. G: Do you fancy yourself a good driver? You mentioned coming from New York. I saw a little B-roll on the internet where it said, like, you were kind of heckling the driver. I don’t know if that was for the character, but you were yelling to, you know, drive faster. JE: Mm-hm. Yeah. We were encouraged to drive as dangerously as possible ‘cause my character is like a reckless guy. He delivers pizza, so he’s always in the car, but he also is not a cautious driver. He prides himself on being able to get anywhere very quickly. G: Right. Aziz, did it fulfill a fantasy of yours, to teach a class for a day? AA: Oh yeah. I always like doing scenes with kids and being mean to ‘em. So that was fun. JE: (Laughs.) G: What were they like, the kids, playing off of you? Were they kind of cowed, or were they—? AA: They were fine. I mean, most of it was just me saying mean stuff to them. So it was fine, yeah. G: Now, you know, there’s sort of a thing in the movie, obviously, about being a pizza delivery guy, and that’s not maybe the best job in the world. What’s the worst job you guys have ever had?
AA: Um… G: That you can say without, you know, hurting your career.
AA: The worst job I ever had was I used to make crystal meth, and it was really hard because the lab would just explode all the time, and it was a lot of cleanup. G: Yeah. I hear that. JE: I’ve never had a bad job. I mean, yeah, I’ve had jobs I didn’t like, but nothing that would be comparable to somebody in a really bad situation. G: Actually, the film is pretty wild—wild situations throughout the comedy—but I appreciated the moments that ground it in reality a little bit. One of those for me was when Jesse comes to you, his character, and reveals that he’s got this bomb at the school. And your reaction to that—your facial reaction to that—was, to me, pretty real. AA: Tremendous acting. G: Tremendous acting. AA: “Great” you’re looking for. G: Yes, yes. (Laughs.) JE: No, no. G: But, did you find that to be at all difficult with—I mean, it’s actually loosely based on a real story, but do you find it difficult to, kind of, relate to these situations or ground yourself in them? JE: Yeah, I mean, it’s difficult because it’s so extreme for such a long period of time. It’s such an extreme situation that these two guys have to rob a bank, and it’s difficult—and a bomb strapped to me. It’s difficult to sustain that kind of intensity, so there’s a lot of levity in the movie, ultimately—it’s a very funny movie—but the fun of it was these guys kind of living out this fantasy of having to rob a bank. And so that ended up being a lot of fun. Just thinking about, “What would we do?” and kind of the excitement that— AA: Well, when they pull it off, they’re excited. You know? G: Would you say there’s a lesson to be learned from this film? JE: Yeah. I mean, it’s not that kind of movie, but it’s a kind of “seize the day” sentiment because my character lives this kind of mundane life and hasn’t accomplished things he wants to accomplish: to tell the girl he loves her, to quit his job, to tell his boss off. And this day, which should be the worst day of his life, ends up being the best day of his life because he’s able to accomplish all these things that he probably should have done months and years ago. So, you know, it’s that kind of—if there is a— G: What would happen if someone put a gun to your head? JE: Yeah, but I think if the movie studio heard me talking about it as some kind of, like— G: Serious drama. JE: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would be taken off the press tour. G: Right, right. Aziz, I’m a big fan of Parks and Recreation. AA: Oh, thanks.
G: I know you hear that every five minutes. Tom’s going into a new situation with Entertainment 720, and I wonder if that is sort of like a funhouse-mirror version of your own entrepeneurship as a comic. You have to kind of sell yourself as a comic and put all of these irons in the fire, right? AA: Ummm— G: And as an actor. AA: Oh. Uh, oh, you mean just that I do stand-up and movies and television? G: Right. And you know, getting deals for screenplays and setting up projects.
AA: Yeah, but I mean that’s kind of—if you’re a driven actor, you know, most actors do that. Comedy actors, you look at someone like Danny [McBride]. I’m working on a movie with him, that we’re developing, or Seth Rogen, or any of those guys come in. That’s a pretty common thing. G: Jesse, are you about to go off to Rome or have you come back from Rome? JE: Yeah, I leave in like two weeks. G: I would imagine that’s got to be a pretty exciting move to be in a Woody Allen film, especially as a New Yorker. JE: Yeah, yeah. G: What was it like getting the call? What was the process like landing that role? Meeting him, I assume. JE: It was very brief, but you know he—I met him for two minutes and read the script. And you know, it’s not the kind of thing you even consider. He’s just—he’s the best. He gets amazing actors to do, you know, small roles and things that they otherwise—you know, in movies that—people just want to work with him, and he’s making so many great movies. I’ll be so happy just to meet him. G: Do you get any sort of directive from him before showing up on the set, in terms of preparing? JE: No. I mean, maybe I will, but I haven’t received it thus far. And I leave in two weeks. So maybe I’ll get an emergency call to shave my head or something. G: (Laughs.) Aziz, how many takes did you have to get the paint exploded in your face? AA: Oh man. That we did like three or four times, but, yeah, it shoots right up in your face. My nose was like blue for a while. It was no joke. But it looked really good. And the techs, they did a really good job. JE: I think they said the first one was the best one. AA: Yeah. The first one, so much went in my face. G: It’s always nice to hear that you’ve done it a few extra times for nothing. JE: (Laughs.) Yeah, yeah. AA: Yeah, I know, right? G: And, you know, if you’ve got your—it’s good for your reel in case you ever want to do Blue Man Group, or something. AA: Exactly. G: Now, everyone always asks about improv and what kind of role that plays. You know, sometimes I think, you know, if the script is a little underdeveloped you’re sort of drawn on and expected to, you know, bring it to life with a little bit of improv. Was that at all the case here? I mean, were you sort of encouraged to punch up the script on the fly? JE: Well, we were encouraged, but certainly not because the script was light at all. I mean, the script was phenomenal. The detail. The backstory and the characters, the different voices of the characters. Everything was there. It sounds like that should be a standard, obvious thing that every movie would have. Once you start reading scripts—like the amount of scripts that we read—you realize that one out of every fifty scripts has that kind of clarity of voice and humor and authenticity. We were encouraged to improvise because we had such a great platform with which to work. AA: Yeah. JE: And from there we—but the script was a rare thing. AA: Yeah, the script was great, and then when we were shooting it, we found a lot of moments while shooting also. That’s kind of the best of both worlds. It’s like, “Okay we have this awesome script and we’re finding funny stuff while we’re shooting.” G: Right, right. Is there anything that leaps to mind that when you watch the film, you go, “Oh yeah. I remember that small thing”? AA: A lot of things like that that are in the movie. It’s hard to narrow it down, but there’s definitely a lot of moments like that where there’s little jokes and stuff that came up during the filming.
G: In terms of the character dynamic between the two of you in the movie, did you give any thought to why these guys have continued to hang out with each other? What it is that appeals to them about each other? What the glue is? AA: I mean, I think in the beginning they’re just clearly like two guys that have stuck around in this small town that they lived in. And my character’s a little bit more settled down with a job, and they've just kind of stuck together. And then, you know, they have that falling out. And then he’s in a huge time of need, and so it brings them back together. JE: Yeah. It’s been longevity that’s kept them together. But, like, I harbor so much resentment to him, and he harbors resentment to me. I mean, like a lot of friendships, it's a pastime to fight— AA: Tumultuous. JE: Personality or whatever. G: Now, Aziz, what is next for you after season two of Parks and Rec? What do you think will be your next film project? AA: Season four! G: Yeah, yeah! Sorry. Season four. Yeah. AA: There’s some movies I’m developing now that I hopefully—one or both I'll shoot next. One is called "Olympic-Sized Asshole." And it’s me and Danny play these two guys who are best friends, and then this Olympic athlete has a three-way with both our girlfriends. And they—it's a kind of revenge movie. And then the other one is a movie called "Spacemen" that I’m writing for Judd Apatow about two astronauts that have to go back to space; two disgraced astronauts have to go to the moon to clear their names. And yeah. Hopefully we’ll shoot one or both of those next time I write. G: Right, right. All right. Great. Well, it’s been nice to talk to you. Thanks for submitting. AA: Thanks. JE: Thank you so much.

My sister says all I send to her is Parks and Rec and Adam Driver stuff, which is untrue, but I’m amazed that I talk about that stuff so much she thinks that’s what I send her.
