Well, 2010 is off to a good-bad start. The bad: I'm into my 7th month of unemployment (thanks again idiot Dubya for 8 years of economic destruction that has ensured that it will be years before we can recover from the worst unemployment rates since the Depression - I hope you are enjoying life in your expensive home in your gated community down ( Read more... )

On Tuesday November 3, devoted companion Callisto crossed to Rainbow Bridge due to rapid onset of multiple health issues which were ultimately life-threatening. She is survived by her furmom Andi and her kitty-sisters Buffy and Seven. She was preceded to Rainbow Bridge by older kitty-sister Nikki, as well as Uncles Buster and Cookie, who were the ( Read more... )

It has been months and months since I blogged. It's not because I was too busy or that there was nothing to blog about. Heck, during that time I was laid off from a job I loved, had 2 long-time friends die - one a very close friend - performed in two great shows, and after months of job hunting without even being able to get an interview, I ( Read more... )

I've spent most of the holiday weekend working on sound design for Mommie Queerest, as well as the slide show that will be used for all the scene transitions in the show.

We re-opened The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode tonight at Uptown Players for its short return engagement of 3 nights. And I could NOT let the very special moment that occurred during the performance go by without blogging about it. It will be one of those memorable theatrical moments that will be retold for a long time by those who were there ( Read more... )

The annual Column Awards took place last Monday celebrating North Texas theater. It was actually the 10th Column Awards so they had put together a retrospective of photos and interviewed many of us who had been part of the Column Awards since the beginning so I was in a quick clip shown during the opening, in addition to several photos from the ( Read more... )

I have had a number of random thoughts rattling around in my head about reality TV for some time and after all the recent “furor” that erupted over ABC’s Bachelor “betrayal” and change of mind, I have finally decided to put my random thoughts to blog ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been hibernating since we closed Broadway Our Way in January. I've kept to home most of the time, except for the occasional theater outing and the Column Award nomination party (where most of my 2008 shows earned recognition - I'm even competing against myself in one sound design category!). I just needed a chance to recharge the ( Read more... )
