I know I haven't finished posting about Readercon yet (and in fact, didn't post much last week at all), but I want to capture this past weekend while it's fresh in my mind ( Read more... )

Hello, 2012!

The week between Christmas and New Year's is always a crazy one for me.

I spent Christmas Eve and Day with my family. Picked my sister and the kids up on Christmas Eve to do our usual Christmas Eve afternoon and evening at my aunt and uncle's house, with my cousins Lauren and Tim and their two kids. Fun as always. My nephew Vinny got the ( Read more... )

This week's interview over on my website is with Nathan Schilz, the composer-lyricist of "Nightmare Man: A Musical," based on a Jeremy C. Schipp short story.  There's about a week left in the Kickstarter project to fund the musical's first performance, and I'm hoping the interview will help him raise the rest of the money he needs.

So it seems I might get to see Daniel Radcliffe on Broadway again, if the reading goes well and they decide to risk a Broadway revival.

So, tickets will soon go on sale for the Broadway musical version of The Addams Family.  Thanks to Lank Lapkin for clueing me in.  I do want to see this.  It is apparently based more on the original Charles Addams cartoons in The New Yorker and far less on the the television series.

And what a cast:  lead by Nathan Lane and Bebe Nuewirth.  I've ( Read more... )

Since Thursday, really.  Details tomorrow night if I find time to post, but short version ( Read more... )
