This is the play I wrote for 24 hour theatre at the Pacific Theatre in Vancouver, BC. The prompt that I received was the flavor “Sour” and I was also given a lemon. As I was brainstorming, I kept rolling the lemon around in my hand, and I would occasionally smell it. Then the idea …
Vancouver Trip – Day 3
Well there isn’t much to say about Day 3 since it sort of all blended in with Day 2. I finished writing my play for 24 hour theatre, as I mentioned, and past it off to the director at about 7am. The strange part in the 24 hour theatre process for a writer is when …
Vancouver Trip – Day 1
Well day 1, as you can imagine, involved a lot of plane time, all on Southwest to Seattle (where I’ve never been) with a brief stopover in Kansas City (where I’ve also never been). I’ll tell the rest with pictures. Started off at Midway airport in Chicago. I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved …
Heading Out
So 6/6/6 (if you take out the 0) came and went and nothing happened. I heard there were bets being taken in Vegas as to whether or not the world would end, and 200 people actually bet that it would. What if you win? The Omen was pretty good too, by the way. Also, if …
Review in Recoil
So it’s 6/6/6 today, and though the world has not ended yet, I’ve still got my hopes up. For more info on the significance/insignificance of today, go here. However, provided the world doesn’t end here in a few minutes, I’ve got some more exciting news. We got another great review, this one in the Grand …
CD Review
Check this out. Just saw the review of my band’s new CD So Long… in the June issue of Revue. You can see it on the page here, but I’ll copy it here: Common Shiner So Long … So Long … is a great CD from Grand Rapids band Common Shiner (yes, named for the …
Boxing Match
Well, Michael Barrett over the weekend sucker punched AJ Pierzynski in the face, uniting the whole Cubs team and completely turning our season around. Right? Not so much. It was an overreaction on Barrett’s part, and he should clearly be suspended, thereby removing one of the only solid hitters on the Cubs and replacing him …
I Knew It!!
Would only be a matter of time before we got to hear the Cubs management or press say “We’re not out of it yet, just look at what happened with the Astros last year.” This time it was Carrie Muskat who said it. I used to really like Carrie, but she has totally turned into …
How’s the Weather at the End of Time?
Another new song. Probably some of the more interesting/strange lyrics I’ve written. So I figured I’d give it an interesting/strange title to go with it. How’s the Weather at the End of Time? The smell of spring The dewy cling to my skin The sense of change Yet I end up here every year Well, …
The D-Lee Effect
Well, we knew it would catch up to us at some point, but the Cubs are officially feeling the effect of losing Derrek Lee, and it already looks and feels like the season’s over. So here’s my collection of current Cubs thoughts: – Jacque Jones is a waste of time. Why does he have a …
