Oh, well. Maybe Christmas 2020. Fingers crossed.

Oh, and did you see that Gale is hosting that new playwrights' thing in LA? I really wish they'd give more than a day or two's notice of these things. It's kind of hard to get to LA from Melbourne with only 24 hours notice. Given that it takes 14 hours to get there. Not to mention the cost of last minute flights. *pouts*
