Poking around . . .

I'm sort of poking around the ice as far as writing goes, to see where it's thickest. I'm writing down things as they come to me, a word, a phrase, anything that might set off the alarm that sets off a new piece. I did some scribbling last weekend and thought I'd try to do some every day, but just doing it for the sake of doing it without a real idea behind it, seems like washing your feet with your socks on . . . but the wheels are always turning and something will happen and hopefully it'll be wonderful and fun. No point in stressing about it in any event . . . life's too short for the pressure and everything else seems to be running smoothly so no complaints.

Should hear within the next week or so about the All For One Festival . . . I'm hoping that will happen, it's a legit festival in the city with 3 performances in the city I think so it would be nice to sharpen the knife of Old Hickory again(last year it was the Cherry Lane Theatre - that would be cool!).

All quiet on the theater front . . . after a burst of activity in the spring we haven't been to see anything in a while . . . don't feel too compelled by what's on B'way just now . . . while the Christopher Durang thing might be fun, we'll see . . . haven't checked TDF on line for a while, if we can get cheap seats for something . . . in the fall Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen are doing Pinter and Beckett in rep, now THAT I might just go see. They're doing Godot, and I sort of thought I'd seen the ultimate production of Godot by the Gate Theater (certainly sets the bar very very high) but these two guys might not screw it up . . .

Anyway, I'll write again when I get the thumbs up or down from All for One.
