I can’t believe FronteraFest is here again. I’ve got a new play going up on February 6th, but before that, I’m going to be in a terrific storytelling cooperative, organized by my friend Marla. Her theme over several weeks is Love & Loss. This week, I go up with two …
Just a few things to highlight in the coming weeks (because I know you’re curious): Wednesday, October 17th at 1pm: I’ll be a guest on KOOP Radio (91.7 FM) with the 14/48 crew. I’m super excited about this. In a way to promote the weekend speed-producing festival that is 14/48, I’ll …
I’ve been struggling with a longer work of fiction for a while, and recently had someone I trust in the literary business read it and give me some great, constructive feedback. She had a lot to say about its strengths (which I appreciate, of course) but also lots to say …
A few little things: Monday, March 12th: Meeting with Out of Ink director Ellie McBride to talk about my goofy piece on presidential brains and how we’re gonna cast it (UPDATE: went well, a few tweaks to make, gonna be silly and fun, I hope) Tuesday, March 13th: Telling a …
Had a chance to stop by the theater tonight. This one’s coming down to the wire. Still some challenges left, and plenty of work to do in the next 48 hours, but lots of great stuff too. This is the cast going over notes with Lisa and Jen after the …
In the last few days, I’ve gotten invitations to both surf in San Diego and tell a story in Portland. So now I’m thinking it’d be great to string these events together into a fall tour. I’m looking at events in Seattle, San Francisco, The Bay Area in general, LA …
I’ll be making the rounds this Saturday in case you want to try to come out and support some local art. From 7am-9am I’ll be cracking wise along the 10.1 mile loop from MoPac to the Longhorn Dam. Come join the fun!* From 10am-12pm I’ll be at Cherrywood Café trying …
A couple of months ago at Testify I met a funny, nice guy named Joey Zimmerman who runs a monthly show and podcast called The Listening Room. And he recently asked if I’d be willing to tell a story on the show on July 8th. A listing on Do512 about …
Hey, the show went great! Not sure the total number of people, but we ended up with 52 tickets sold online, and then maybe a dozen or so folks came in to pay at the door. I ballparked 60-65 in the audience at some point, so I guess that sounds …
I told this story about my nine incredibly intense days in Hollywood last year at Testify, and now I get a chance to repeat it three times tomorrow night at the annual Thinkery benefit. I’ve gotta chop out a few bits of the narrative, and it’s gonna barely be ready …
