gearing up for a write… or five

08 Jun


Yeah, you read that right. It’s time to dive into the ocean of words and hopefully emerge with something worthy for the stage. But not just one… at least 5 are sitting in wait for me to tackle them and pin them to the page.

So what is this “gearing up” thing you speak of, Lecram?

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve been in the “zone” to do so. Plus, as I’ve mentioned before there are at least 5. I’ve had to do a little mental juggling to decide which will go first. Since my last one was of the “fuck you” ilk… I figure the next 2 will be too. Besides, 3 constitutes a phase.

Yeah, writers do go through phases. The “family” phase… the “fantasy” phase… yada, yada. I’m probably not the first but I think every writer goes through the “fuck you” phase. Though I would like to think that I’m one of the few who will admit to it while it is happening… and not in retrospect.

The first one will fit this current phase quite nicely, thank you. As per my modus operandai I am exploring yet another genre… Grand Guignol. So, yeah… I think it fits.

The premise? Well, you will just have to buy your tickets for the show in October. Yeah, the theater is already booked. O.K…. so, I’m pulling an Alan Ayckbourne by booking the space then writing the show. No pressure, right? LOL!

Cheers!

jumping in head first… once more

01 Apr

So, yeah… this is the show I will be doing in May. I’m reworking the show I did for the 2006 Rogue, “Lies My Father Told Me“ (links to the review) with a live musician (my old college room-mate, Johnnie) “soundtracking” and sound effects on the guitar. What I’m really excited about is KP’s new show, “Tales of Laos”. Anyway, details to follow.

Here is a somewhat silly idea!

17 Aug

I’m considering throwing an Opening Night Party for a show of mine I can’t and won’t be attending.

more shameless promotion (with an edit)

23 Jul

Yeah, I finish cutting this tonight… and the shows are coming up this weekend. So if you live around the big NO… come on down and catch these fine shows!

More in the AM… promise!

EDIT: 10:30 AM, Tuesday
I just sent off my responses of an email interview to Fresno Famous that will be featured on Friday (I think). Now, I either have to snap a pic or hunt for one in my archives. Hmm… I wonder if they will post a half nekkid one of me. LOL!

Also, I have to begin promotions on the next presentation of Rogue Year Round. Yes, it is going to be a barrage over the internet and probably going to annoy some on MySpace. Well, I’m not apologizing for it in advance because the whole exercise is to get Butts In The Seats. The point here is we are not just promoting to friends and supporters but also to potential newbies… and with the attention span these days people forget very easily. (That’s just one of the many reasons… but no one asked choosing instead to throw barbs.) I’ll have you know that the last promotional thrust pulled in at least two thirds of the paying audience who were exposed to anything Rogue for the very first time… and they had a bloody good time.

The Rogue was not created to be some sort of “insiders club” but something to be inclusive. What I really don’t appreciate (for the Rogue in general) is certain “insiders” had chosen to air their disdain of my previous methods via blogs and comments… which is a public forum. Either support the event (by showing up) or don’t (by not showing up). If you want to question my methods… shoot me an email (and I will patiently provide an explanation of the “whys”) but airing it in a public forum (via the power of the internet) is just plain unprofessional and counter productive to all many are attempting to accomplish. I’m all for debate and discussion… and if you are an insider… lets keep it within the confines of a meeting (one on one or via email)… but snippy blogs and comments that are open to the public just smacks of juvenile attention seeking. There… I’ve said my peace and for the record, I don’t hold any grudge or ill feelings about what transpired… just saying.

Now back to editing the many videos that are laying in wait.
