Hello from the Valley
Lately it feels like college all over again. Ah, those sweet, sweet Finals weeks. Running on caffeiene, going stubbly for week stretches, forgetting to eat, cheap beer (sidenote: we decided the other night that PBR on tap is genuinely good, as opposed to ironically good).
We're having a staged reading in two weeks. I'm furiously trying to re-write the play so it doesn't suck. This includes taking off work so there's time to attend rehearsals, make notes, and go home to keep writing, as I did last night. Don't worry, I'll keep you well informed of its happening.
The rehearsals/re-writing is sandwiched in between two weekends of marathon recording. Muso's making a CD. It sounds great so far. And perhaps more importantly, for those I haven't yet bragged to, it's being recorded in the hometown of Daniel Larusso, aka, the karate kid of The Karate Kid fame. That's right, Reseda, California. You may remember Elizabeth Shoe's dad mentioning Reseda, as if it were genocide-plagued Sudan. ("You're not dating that boy from Reseda"). Well I'm here to say Reseda ain't bad, folks. Thoroughly suburban, totally inoffensive, but not bad.
So that's the real news. I've been hanging out in the valley.
