Alive and an Uncle!
I stopped writing here because of... reasons. Reasons I'm currently unsure of. I suspect laziness. Also busyness. Anyway, here's a synopsis:
January and February: Lived in Orange County temporarily and directed the workshop production of Upstairs. Also did graphic design for the production, created the logo and t-shirts, created the original wordpress website (now supplanted by the above) and learned to deal with LA traffic.
March and April: Got sick, recovered, and started planning for the New Orleans premiere of the play. Worked on website, reviewed script changes, did some casting, etc. Also watched Game of Thrones.
May: Started ANBU Legacy, a new collaborative writing venture with Fallen Leaves writers DK (darksideofstorm), Ki (kilerkki), and GM. It's an AU set in a Konoha where the Yondaime defeated the Kyuubi- and lived. Like Fallen Leaves before it, Legacy is focused on the young men and women of ANBU, who took the vow to defend the Hokage and their village at all costs. It is my new shiny happiness.
May and June: Lived in Hollywood temporarily and directed and co-produced the full debut production of Upstairs. Traveled to New Orleans, LA for the premiere, which coincided with the 40th anniversary of the fire at the Upstairs Lounge, a gay bar in New Orleans, that the play is a memorial to, followed by a one-night-only encore performance in Los Angeles.
Awesomely, DK, stalwart housemate, writing companion, and best friend, accompanied us to New Orleans as our general dogsbody and hassler. He ran box office, helped organize everything, and made the whole trip that much more awesome.
July: Finally got to come home. Celebrated by going to Comic-Con in San Diego with DK, and two other friends, and then getting spectacularly sick with bronchitis, which I still have.
July 31, 2013: Became an uncle! Congratulations to my baby brother Chandler and his wife Leah, and welcome to the world, Harvey Mohr McCallum!
