I don't care for idle chatter; I don't say the things that matter most to me
So, long weekend.
21-hour play festival, Wrote a cute 10-minute play in 4 hours. It was pretty good. I enjoyed Andrew's play as well as the final "Spy Movie" parody Force the World to Die.
Mom, Linda, the kids and Jim Allen came to see the 7pm show, and darksheik and alexlady came to see the 9:30. Thanks!
Some pictures of the process over here. (which should be in an article over on The Fab Marquee sometime soon).
I did randomly get Cutie Jared in the show. Discovered he's actually heterosexual(!), which was mildly heartbreaking. He still seems crazy in awe of me (at one point he compared his brain to an EZ Bake oven, with me as an industrial cooker). He said he and his co-writer have just fired the bookwriter for their musical- they plan to have a concert of the music in January, to try to court new writers on the strength of the music (which I haven't heard). I think he wanted to ask me, but wants me to want to do it first.
Was up way too late, crashed at Tony's, then went to review two shows (EATfest's Old Flame and Sleepwalk With Me) one of which was great, one of which was not (need to write reviews for those today).
Chris S. came with me to see Sleepwalk and told me strange stories about Brendan from Eternity:Time Without End, who apparently was messing with Chris' mind, trying to get him to date this one girl who wasn't interested, and constantly texting him, and spreading rumors about him (almost getting Chris 86d from 9th Avenue Bistro at one point). Apparently Brendan has nothing good to say about me, and told Chris that "a friend of his" was in one of my plays and I was mean to them. And texted Chris once that I was walking by outside the bar where B was bouncing, and he saw me through the window and he gave me the finger even though I couldn't see him. So more confirmation that Brendan = crazypants.
The Industry Reading of Apathy went well, I thought. Cast rocked (especially defy_gravity99 and mollyx). Music was great. Drummer was hot. There was a lot of nervousness, and some bantery lines were dropped and lost, but it was mainly very good.
Lots of awesome people there, darksheik, alexlady, son_of_ottie, ceebeegee, folks from Oberon (including Mac, who was the awesome Banquo in Oberon's Macbeth, and who now I've officially met), Gregg (!), and David L (who LOVED the music).
I don't much care for the changes to the script, and sent neoscribe and Emileena my thoughts in an e-mail.
Some Apathy pictures over here. Most are backstage or during tech rehearsal.
My computer data was unable to be retrieved by Best Buy's salesmen, either. Bastards.
Having a reading of The Starship Astrov next week at Playwrighting Group.
Last night's group was fun, just me, carasol, and Ken. Read 2 scenes from Ken's pieces and my newly revised 2-person scene from Suckers (which could still use more revision). Dandelion seems to have fallen by the wayside for now.
Gonna start writing my new idea for a musical for Carlos and Kenneth as soon as I finish my reviews this afternoon.
Oh, and next week on Those Crazy Mormons!
