And Here We Go…
All right, it’s happening! Tomorrow (Wednesday) night. Our Tech over the weekend went well, the actors seem to have everything down, and I can’t think of anything else I can do on my end to be any better prepared. The weather is icy and gloomy, and there’s a somber overtone to the week, but...

The season is upon us. This year there are three shows I have at least a bit of involvement with… WED, JAN 17 PONG: THE MUSICAL ‘Nuff said, you know what to do. THURS, FEB 1 INTO THE LIGHT This is a piece about a woman emerging from a long depression by my friend...

I went running on the Santa Fe Rail Trail earlier this week, and I have to say that these trails that run alongside (or on paved-over) railroad tracks are just fantastic. When I’m running in a new city that has one, I’m able to find my way, see parts of the place I might...

Continue readingPong Poster: Near-Final Draft
All right, I made my choice on the direction to go with the graphic. Here’s where Ryan’s gotten to. There are a few little tweaks to make still, but this is basically what it’s gonna look like. The guy does great work, and I told him I feel lucky to have access to his...

We get the three ingredients for the Fling tonight, and I have to say that this is still one of my favorite writing events. It’s fun to write with the random ingredients, and it’s also fun to be in a competition to get produced in the spring. There’s a small meetup planned for 6pm...

Hot dang. Wonderful graphic artist Ryan has come up with these draft concepts for a Pong: the Musical poster. I’m kinda partial to C and E initially, but I like ’em all. What do you think? Hmm…....
