Goin' to California... again...

Ah, yes. California. The weather, the girls, the... the towels. How I love that I've been there twice. And when I cannot be there, at least my shows can be.

NAKED IN IDAHO!
"Boise, Idaho" and "Try Not to Step on the Naked Man" together at last! Again! At last!

Starting May 19th, the Raven Playhouse in North Hollywood presents a double bill of Sean, which is twice more Sean that most people are used to experiencing.

Most people, I said. If I am sure to take my Vitamin D, then we're off to the races.

If you live in the California area, which may or may not include Hawaii, and want to receive a postcard for this show, or if you don't live in the area and just like receiving postcards because it makes it appear as if people care, then go ahead and send me a mailing address to my email which appears on the top of the homepage.

Thank you for your patronage. Really. I mean it. Kisses. Lots of them.

It isn't a drought until I say so

I've just realized that I haven't written anything in a very long time. I can't even really say how long it's been, but it's been awhile. Not sure how that happened. Oh, where have the days gone where I would plop out a new thing a month? Or even in a week? Perhaps I've slowed down a bit. Perhaps I've said all that I felt I should say. Maybe I have milked the NYC experience for all its worth. Not sure what's happening, but my once prolific nature is drying up.

I think Tamara is right. A move may be necessary. But where oh where shall this little Sean go?

Oh, this is fun. I just found out at a party last night that the African equivalent of my name(feminine only) means "pubic hair." Huh. THANKS MOM AND DAD.

It's okay. The word is spelled "Shuun" anyway and it's only for girls. Now I just feel sorry for African girls with that name. The teasing must be endless.

So... if you have any suggestions as to where I might move, or if you have an idea you think I should write about, feel free to let me know. I'd hate to think that I'm completely out of ideas over here.

I'd like to thank... hold on I have a list...

I'd like to thank Jacquelyn Landgraf for once again hoisting a successful production of "Boise, Idaho" onto the stage. She and her regimen of 2nd Year NYUers done me proud. It's good to see that when Boise gets put up, it still has some legs on it.

And EVEN THOUGH the line "Love is like a fat accordion player, you never know which one to squeeze," was unmercilessly axed from the final cut due to time restraints... what is that - four seconds shaved off? - I still owe her a debt of thanks, and possibly a few beers down the road.

For those of you who don't know the multitalented Jacquelyn, she was one of the wonderful members of the Moving Theatre Company, who have done four of my pieces with all the manic energy they could muster. Sadly departed, but ever in spirit with me. And now she is bringing her multitalented talents (que?) to another project, which I would like to plug right here. Starting... now.

"Hello Friends, Lovers, Countrymen,

After pretty much ten years of build-up, it is AT LAST time for my
*debut* with the Neo-Futurists "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go
Blind"!!!!

Oh there will be Chance, Change, Chaos, and drinking. You betchya.

Chicago's longest-running show (17 years!) is now in New York City!
And so am I!

For those of you who don't know about Too Much Light...it's time you
do! it's an ongoing show, and we're a resident company of the Kraine
Theater in the East Village. I'm in the show for the next 3 weeks,
then through all of May...and so on until eternity.

Tix are $10 plus the roll of a 6-sided die at the door, or you can go
to Theater Mania to order tix online. Use the promotional code: pizza
for $1.50 off

I LOVE YOU ALL! Hope to see you very soon!

Many thanks, Jacquelyn. You're still one of the good ones. Flint got your back, G.
