Stephen chbosky is stepping away from the perks of being a blow a kiss, into the sun we need someone to lean on blow a kiss, into the sun all we need is somebody to lean on if you have a teen or millennial in the house, theyre about to get very excited. Our guest is the Stephen Chbosky who wrote the best selling why book, the perks of being a wallflower and directed the film version starring emma watson. This year stephen took his sweet time. 20 years later, hes out with his second book Imaginary Friend. Its a total new genre for you. Yes, it is. So great to see you. Thank you. Im very excited to be here. The first person who interviewed me when i came to San Francisco for the perks of being a wallflower movie was gavin newsom. So i fully anticipate you becoming the governor. I anticipate that as well which is why i have you on the show. Im a very good luck charm. Slnts. 20 years, thats a huge buildup. Are your fans the ones who love perks, are they going to be excited about this . Thus far, theyve been incredibly excited. I just heard that we made the New York Times best seller list in the first week, which is fantastic. And everybody thats loved perks of being a wallflower they love it because the book, yes, its scary but equal parts heart and horror. Whats the premise. It came from this idea. Something that we all had an experience we all had as children. Youre laying in the grass. You look up in the sky and see the clouds and the shape. It looks like a dog, hammer, a face. We all did it. My premise is what would happen if a little boy looked up in the clouds and realized it was always the same face looking back at him. Thats where it started. Thats a little spooky. It is. If hes standing outside of his school and looks up to the cloud and says, hello, can you hear me . Theres a thunder clap. He says if you can hear me, blink your left eye and the cloud goes like this, like this and floats away. Thats the beginning of the tale of Imaginary Friend. I cant wait to read it. This is my copy right here. Emma watson. You were really close. She was the star in perks. How does she help you with the ending of this book . When we were filming the perks of being a wallflower. We were on lunch in pittsburgh and eating together. I started telling her the story of Imaginary Friends with the cloud thing and beat by beat by beat and shes on the edge of her seat and then this happens and she goes huh. And i go, what, no good . Shes like shes so polite. Shell never tell you its terrible. Then i had to extract it. I was like, ive got to go back to the drawing board because this girl is very well read. That is like the huh i had when i got to the end of harry potter and harry ends up not spoiler alert. I guess everyone knows. Hey, youve been really busy the last 20 years. Yes. Youve been directing the live action beauty and the beast also starring emma watson and wonder. I directed wonder. Are you more of a director or writer . I am equal parts. If all i did was direct movies, i would get a little squirrely. If i only wrote books, id be lonely. I love doing both. Its looking like ill be directing the movie version next year so it goes from horror to musicals. I love them all. So you have the solitary and then you need the social, right . Thats right. You find writing to be a solitary existence . Yes. What you guys have here is fantastic. Youre all here. You get to talk. Youre so nice. By the way, when theyre off air, theyre really, really nice. So just, you know wow. Even got laughs. So its too solitary for me to do tall the time. I love to do. Its very fulfilling. I like being around people. Its great. With what happened with perks, im sure Imaginary Friend will eventually become a movie as well . I think so, yes. Is that why you wrote the book . No. After 20 years, i wanted to write another book for the fans. But, yes, eventually yes, ill adapt it. I love it. Do you see actors in certain roles . Could emma watson reappear . Yeah. As the mom . Is she too young to be the mom . She meet be too young but it takes awhile to get movies made. Shes the best. Shes a great friend. Im very excited. Heres to hoping. And this is very exciting. This time youre on a book tour. Quite different from the reception. It is. You know how its different . You travel yourself and drive yourself.

Do we know how the fire where you are actually got started . Investigators havent given us an official answer but we did hear from one witness who says he saw the flames start near a transmission tower and then spread to the nearby brush. And, of course, you know that was the major concern going into this period of extreme fire danger. That is why the Utility Companies shut down power to hundreds of thousands of californians because they were so concerned with the high winds that there could be issues with the power lines sparking fires.

We have an underrepresented demographic out there that just cant get in because of the financial barrier to running for office. So this doesnt eliminate that, but its a step in the right direction. Reporter the Fair Elections initiative would prohibit candidates for city council or mayor from accepting contributions from developers, land lords and the lobbyists who represent them among others. It would also move mayoral races from gubernatorial to president ial election years. The lowest voter turnout tends to be in communities of color, women and lowincome. Reporter Political Science experts say any increase in Voter Participation is a good thing. Having the Mayoral Election during the president ial year, we know is going to increase voter turnout because people are already turning out to vote for the president.

Your Homeowners Insurance might cover such losses if if this had been a normal disaster. But probably not this time. Why . Well, heres Insurance Consumer advocate amy bach.

Thats our concern is that because pg e initiated it and theyre not a government entsity, there may not be coverage. Wow. Yeah. Thats right. If the governor ordered it, local mayor, the any government official, but since pg e is a pruft company, its decision to cut your power probably is not covered by your homeowners or renters insurance.

You can try filing a claim with pg e for losses like spoiled food, but pg e says it does not compensate for these types of losses. Isnt this weird . Yeah.
