like a brand new pair of shoes

By popular demand... all right, one demand... I've decided to hoist my short story "Fumingation" up on my homepage in the hopes that will like it and then tell a friend. Call it a social experiement, or... me just wanting attention, yo.

NO! Better than that... I'm reaching out... or something.

Tell the truth, I don't know what the big idea is. I get big ideas and then I look at what I've done and go "Huh."

Maybe I just needed to change my homepage. I'm sooooo flaky.

Regardless, take a gander. Feel free to comment, my guestbook has gone a long time without feelin' the love.

Coming Soon... Box of Gordon?

I can honestly say that of the many plays that I have written in the last ten years, there are a few that I never ever EVER thought would get a perfomance. And one of those is about to.

The Thunder and Lightning Ensemble of Chicago is about to embark on the premiere of BOX OF GORDON, a never before seen ten-minute piece I did very early in my career. And besides TRY NOT TO STEP ON THE NAKED MAN, it is the only other play of mine to feature a naked man. Except this naked man won't be concealed by cleverly placed couches. Oh, no no no. This one lives in an aquarium for the whole audience to enjoy.

T&L will also be the first group outside of the superstars of The University of Michigan-Flint to produce EARL THE VAMPIRE, to be directed by my former ACTF cohort Chris Arnold, who has also directed NO ONE EVER DIED IN MONTANA for me.

Break many legs, T&L. I can't wait to hear all about it.
