Going Hollywood
Hi LJ. Perhaps I will exposit a little later about how this year of my life has generally not been in evidence because I seem to have unwittingly sold it for a rather modest price. At the moment, I would like to focus on the near future, as regards how closely I should follow the potentially salutary policy of "whenever there's somewhere to go, go."
Do I know anyone in LA? I ask because Pulp Shakespeare, born of my passing fancy and set loose on the internet to grow, is again being brought to life at Theater Asylum in Hollywood from October 14 through November 13.
A sense of narrative would demand I should see it. I could make it a thing and really see LA, or I could fly out for just one night to watch this one show and go right back home (The closest hotels to the venue are plagued with unpleasant reviews, and the hope that they were written by Black Hat seems slim), or I could better save my travel money for the company of friends and just be content that it's out there, and that every bit I actually had a hand in writing happens to be right here for you and I to see. But gosh, it looks good, doesn't it?
A more practical and certain mark on my calendar is Philcon. Philcon used to be a really big deal. I attended it year after year until it moved out of the Adam's Mark hotel, and then attended Anthrocon until the Adam's Mark was razed to be replaced with a Target, and in that time I lost track of Philcon entirely, but apparently it has landed on my doorstep. I assume that it has been brought low because, in my experience, conventions come to Cherry Hill to die, but I may as well see what it's like now, considering I literally have walked farther for lunch.
