First performed as a monologue in Chicago, at Live Bait Theatre, 2004.
The location for the first Diner, Perrin's, had an emergency the morning of the shoot. The producers went on a whirlwind tour of West Hollywood to seek out a new place. After five 'NO's, Joey's' on Santa Monica Blvd. allowed the production to shoot there. Perrin's later came through for the 'Sally's cousin scene' when it was determined a second diner scene was needed.
Todd Quillen (the Male Diner) is decked out in Buffalo Bills gear, but it had to be completely blurred out due to a strict trademark condition for submission to a film festival.
