The Sean Michael Welch Archives

Realized that my "Happenings" is like a week off. Not sure how that happened. Possibly I mistook the "7" on my watch for a "1," hence the confusion. Turns out it wasn't a wormhole after all.

Chapter twelve of RAGERS is nearly complete.

Found spelling errors in the website. Am not happy about this.

Saw FAHRENHEIT 911 today. It's not often (in fact, I'd say this never happens) that I hear applause after a film. I'm urging people to see it. Even if you think Michael Moore is full of hot air or is just a master editor, it's impossible to ignore the images and hear the testimony and not rethink the romaniticized notion of war.

Oh, and on a sidenote, I also saw a brief preview of ALEXANDER as I made my way down the escalator from watching the movie. Guess what? Alexander's straight in this version! Apparently world conquerers are not supposed to be gay. Fancy that.

Am considering a new play, even as I continue to write THE RAGERS (up to chapter eleven!). I think it's time for a new play about Caligula. The tentative title is EYE, CALIGULA, but don't hold me to that.

The idea of making this site more professional has crossed my mind. Mainly because I can't download documents onto this side unless I upgrade, and barring that, I can only have seven pages to play with. And that seems a bit unfair. So, I suppose I'll have to buy a domain and then upgrade and all that. Seems worth it.

If I do make this move, I want everyone that I know to bombard me with links so I can do my part. If you have ever appeared in one of my plays, produced one of them, or just sent me pretty pictures, send your links to me. If I have to deal with the horror of shameless self-promotion, then, by gum, my good friends will have to suffer through it too.

Learned the negative effects of swallowing gum. Never going to try that again. Geez.

Hearts out to KT and Laura. My thoughts are with you.

The website is nearly complete. Whee.

The opportunity for THE TROJAN WHORE to receive its premiere comes courtesy of Mill 6 in Boston, MA. Should be sometime next year from what I gather.

In Germany, David Turner of the Keller Theatre has asked to perform two never before performed pieces of mine, ANIMAL DECISIONS and THE STRAIGHT POOP.

There has been talk of a possible small film production of THE TROJAN WHORE, but that's just talk for now.

I am currently writing a novel version of THE RAGERS which I am not creating in my usual rapid-fire pace. I'm actually seeing what happens if I slow myself down and really start paying attention to what I usually spew out.

I think I need a haircut. It's just... getting out of hand.
