- Skyrocketing straight out of 1979 Chicago obscurity into international super-stardom is Lee Honcho: time traveling "jew rocker." The principal subject of clandestine time travel experimentation under the supervision of Baron Von Lufkin and the Swiss Institute, Lee underwent a battery of tests and procedures in preparation for travel into the future in order to help unlock the mysteries of the space-time continuum. Though schooled on the laws of time travel, Lee ignored and/or defied every last explicit instruction and instead elected to chart his own course. After becoming an enormous celebrity on an alien planet in the year 2113 - or so he claims - one night of debauchery and excess sent Honcho reeling back through time. He picked up some passengers along the way - Hector Desrosiers in 1988 and Truman McPate in 1996 - and eventually settled in Boston in the year 2004. Haunted by the loss of his celebrity status, Lee did what anyone destined for immortal greatness would do: he became the host of a local cable-access talk show. Miraculously, the combination of an offbeat but charismatic cast of characters, bizarre guests and subject matter - and a technologically-inept crew - resulted in a groundswell of buzz, turning "House of Honcho" into a juggernaut (if not a train wreck) that - in turn - turned Lee into an overnight international TV sensation. Not far behind came the arrival of Von Lufkin and his colleagues, who - after years of painstaking research - located their former lab rat. Unbeknownst to Lee, though masked behind Machiavellian smiles, it was now the intention of Von Lufkin to use and abuse him for his ever expanding ingenious but egotistical purposes. If only he could control Lee and his crew, things would surely run a lot more smoothly.
- On July 4th, there will be no celebration for Lou Weaver. Instead, he finds himself falling deeper into a hole, struggling to find clarity in his life. He spends most of this "Independence Day" inside of his own head, contemplating his own independence, though his pessimism prevents him from finding it. Enter Bobby Styles, who intends to provide the fireworks # whether Lou is prepared, or not. Over the course of the day, each of Lou's "friends" weaves his own unique thread through the Mutual Admiration Society. There's Cooter Haynes, a perpetual stoner with a penchant for prophecy, and Brooksy Sterling, a slumping sexual deviant. Mickey McQueeney can best be described as an unintelligent thug, and Richie Wexler as the self-indulgent resident drug dealer. Then there's Troy Vank, a seemingly doomed circus clown, who may just have the last laugh, after all, and "Al Mighty", the mere existence of whom seems to be a mystery to the rest. Questions abound, but when the day is done, and long after the grand finale has reached its denouement, one question transcends them all: How can Lou's life seem so simple, yet be so very complicated? Welcome to the Mutual Admiration Society. Dig deeper.
