Okay, this was sorta fun and helpful with 14/48 last month. Let’s see if it works as well with the ScriptWorks Fling. (not quite as much drama since it’s just one play in 48 hours; ho hum…) Here we go… 4:30pm Anticipation mounts To relieve stress before the meetup at 6pm I’m going to...

Steady (-ish) as She Goes
So far, things are basically on track. Two days to go. Let’s see… Discussion on KOOP went pretty well (and met some other cool artist types doing stuff for E.A.S.T); including Greg Davis who talked about the Thornton Road Studios and how they’re on the ropes There’s been very little drama in general Everyone...

I’m struggling a little bit with the idea of publicizing this silly show when everyone’s talking about global tragedy. But timing is what it is. Here’s what I think the lineup will be for Thursday: ACT ONE Possum Posse one song Brief heartfelt intro and skit Music (Luna Tart) Story (Ava) Play (Tristan: Shhhh)...

So there’s this manuscript I’ve been working on for over ten years now (in an off-and-on kind of way). It’s a story I always wanted to tell and felt I could find a good audience for. Different iterations of it have been well-received and it’s felt like a near-miss with a couple of publishers...

I think I’m going to have the opportunity to meet with one of the producers of Shelter Theater in San Miguel de Allende at the end of this month to talk about a show we might be able to bring down to them next year. I know Raul produced MEXPATRIATE there earlier this year...

I’m totally not cut out for this publicity stuff. Not sure I can really handle it. I just feel like I’m forcefully yanking some completely reluctant animal from my insides and forcing it to stand in front of the world and create a positive, upbeat, convincing sales pitch. And meanwhile my actual self is...

I’ve loved this band since I first saw them a few years ago at Lambert’s. And then went to see them at their Pretty Kitty-sponsored (not really) residency at One2One on South Lamar. And they just agreed to play the benefit on November 19th. Super excited to have them! I guess they’re best known...

Spent yesterday evening at Dr. Becker’s house looking at art and discussing which pieces should be up at the Ground Floor Theatre gallery next month. Some general notes: He’s going to print out programs about the featured artists (their bios) with selected art on the back He’ll help publicize our event at the official...

Okay, it’s time to start getting serious. I gotta contact some businesses and see if there’s any way to drum up sponsorship for the event. When we got Nothing Bundt Cakes to help out in June I felt like it boosted our legitimacy and/or my confidence level some. My initial thought was to reach...
