My kids and I unearthed this game after a completely unrelated discussion about expectations and contractual versus verbal agreements (it’s a long story which stretched the limits of what I know about the law). Anyway, this is my earliest official publication byline (March, 1985). And it was in the NUMBER ONE ATARI COMPUTER MAGAZINE...

Napervillains
This is another long-term project I’ve been collaborating on for some time with my friend Jen in L.A. We’ve worked on and off on this family-friendly series about a bunch of monsters who get rounded up internationally and dropped into Naperville, Illinois, where they’re sentenced to doing assorted tasks at a temp agency under the...

I wanted to get up a quick post about the short fringe show this past Wednesday. Best of Week is announced late tonight, and I didn’t want the post to seem sad or disappointed in case we don’t get it. I like how familiar the festival feels in some ways (I know the ins and outs...

Going back to my bread and butter this year, doing a self-deprecating projector/screen piece about relationships, trying to convince someone in the audience to stick with me, despite my numerous flaws. There’s a twist (or two or three!) at the end, which I’m hoping goes over well. I name-check a friend who recently successfully...

Yesterday the exhibit we had up at Ground Floor Theatre finally came down; this is the one by artists with autism that I’d worked with Dr. Becker to get up for the November 19th show. He’d been going back to the gallery on a regular basis before other performances the past 5 or 6...

Three days left of voting (I think?) and within striking distance. Still don’t think it’s gonna happen, but until the Republican primaries in February, this is about as good as percentage-watching gets (for me)....
Hey, it’s a Race! (kinda, sorta)
I think this is as close as we’re gonna get, so I’m saving it here for future reference. But that’s kinda up there, right? Within the margin of error, perhaps? Yeah, maybe? Someone send over the crosstabs so we can run some numbers. Anyway, there’s that. The other category…. not so much. But top...

So I just discovered the other day that we’d been nominated for a couple of Broadway World Austin awards for our June production of GOOD WEATHER FOR BUNDT CAKES. I guess they’d been up for a week or two but I had no idea. Anyway, it’s nice. The nominations are for Best Site Specific Production...
Continue readingSquid Show Recap (hey, it worked!!)
So I don’t know what you were so worried about. The show went great, exceeding attendance goals and fundraising goals. We actually didn’t have enough seats set up for people so they were standing on the sidelines and finding other places to sit. The show itself fell together smoothly, transitions worked well, everyone was...

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...
