16 seats!

And people invited… don’t turn up. (Personal invitations at that!) Gee thanks! Yeah… we got a good crowd… but 8 fucking seats could have been given to others who actually gave a damn! No call no email … nothing! Look, I’m not fucking Shakespeare… but common courtesy… heard of that? Don’t expect it if you don’t give it. Other than that, we had a great time. Really, we had a a wonderful time… and you …

The first preview…

… went well. Those who know my work were a little taken aback. We also had non-theatre goers in the crowd… and they seemed to have been sucked in as well. There are pics on the TJ Site. One more to go tonight with close to a full house expected. We will open with Suicide Lounge and wabblings of the mutant frog.

Da Count – my cast and crew

Oodles to count… but this week it’s my cast and crew. They have been riding this beast with me (and continue to) and I couldn’t ask for a better group of folk who have given in time, effort and talent like they have given to this trifle. You have eased my re-entry back into the theatre world to being a joyous experience… something that I didn’t think I would find again. All I can say …

Shameless & Blatant does work.

We got an article in Fresno Famous… not written by me… plus a picture and all! There was a real reporter involved this time. He came over for rehearsals on Tuesday night. Yeah, go ahead… click the link and read it. I’ll wait. (BTW… don’t you think the pic posted has some nasty connotations? LOL!) ::toe tapping:: Done? Good. Last night’s Suicide Lounge rehearsal went quite well. We actually started by sharing a meal together …

the wedding was very sweet…

… in fact, for a limited time you can still watch a re-run HERE. (Click Darryl Hinds/Carly Jones) I even had a date to the wedding with a fellow blogger via chat. We even brought our owh slurps and nosh for an improvised reception after. I had a fried chimichanga and beer. The best part of the whole thing was that I didn’t have to dress up for it. Still, it was a privilidge to …

My Rodent is Rebelling

Last night, I left my computer for 20 minutes (to get something to eat) and came back to find that mu mouse was stuck. Refused to move. On strike. So this post is coming from the laptop.) Now I have to determine if it is a hardware or software issue. Please Almighty Lord… let it be a hardware issue! Of course, this comes at the most inconvenient of times… when I have massive amounts of …

Time Wasters… but well worth it

My friend Zonthar doesn’t post very often (he bloody should… the man is brilliant… and witty to boot) but when he does it definately is worth the read. His latest post does give one pause to think about the official monikers given our bits & pieces. Go ahead and send a Hula Card to someone where your message will be danced for them. For those of you who are moving to the Beta… er… New …

Don’t they realize that it eventually gets back to my ears?

A friend came to visit the other day. In the course of the conversation blurted that so-and-so was at someplace and was talking smack about me. I began to chuckle. My friend’s face held a quizzical look. “Why are you laughing?”“I’m used to it.”“What was said about you was pretty brutal!”“Cool.”“Huh?” I explained to my friend that I’ve headed several endeavours over time and when one does, one just has to accept the fact that …
