A bit of excitement

Well, the last few days have been an enjoyable romp through oddity for me. You may remember from a few posts ago that my play, "Cursed" is being done as part of this fall's offering at Thirst Theater. It is starring Charlie Bethel and Nathan Christopher (only two more performances: Dec 5 & Dec 12). If you missed the November 28th performance, you missed out on a unique night of entertainment. Why? Well, Charlie had a schedule conflict, and rather than reschedule our performance, we opted to have me fill in for him. Now, I may have written the show, but that doesn't mean that I have it memorized... or, rather, that I did prior to Monday night. I have it memorized now, as the combined efforts of three people and six times through the script managed the cement it into my mind just in time to hit the stage (umm... table?) at Joe's Garage. The performance went well.

In fact, the whole evening went well. I enjoyed all of the shows I saw (the three after my own). I am told that the first of the evening (the one I missed because I was memorizing) was particularly good. It is a piece by Alan Berks, and starring Chris Carlson. I believe I'll be able to catch it at the next performance on the 5th.

I think my fave of the evening was the show by Tom Poole. It is called "Life Coach," and it is a lot of fun.

Other than that little adventure, I have spent much of my recent time catching up on homework. It is amazing how difficult it can be to get motivated to read stuff for my "Literature in Cyberspace" class. I know I write in the online medium, and that I read stuff on here all the time, but it seems more like a place for summer reading -- you know, the light, for entertainment value style of reading-- rather than for academic, dry, research style reading. I find that my eyes get tired faster than ever before reading academic stuff on a computer screen. Thank goodness most of the stuff online is porn, eh?

Guess what? This weekend I will be putting together the long-awaited stats on my die rolling for the last two Fringe Festivals. Isn't that exciting? Look for that...coming soon!
