Heya, happy July! Just signed another contract for the fall to have this play that I co-wrote with Tim at Express Theatre run in the fall. Contracts: they make me feel all business-y and pro-ish! Anyway, this one opens on Thursday, July 21st and will hopefully run again in September and October. Can’t...

Story Department
Had a really nice time last week doing Austin Bat Cave’s Story Department show for the first time. When I got there the place was much more crowded than I expected, which threw me off balance a little. But then everyone was really nice and welcoming and casual. An intimate and nice space. I...

Oh hey, I’ve got a couple of storytelling events in the next few weeks. You should come (if you want) (if you read this in time) (if you like stories) (who doesn’t like stories?). On Thursday, March 31st, I’ll be at Testify at the Spider House Ballroom telling a story about the time I...

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...

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...
