my travel plans

After my temping gig ends here in October, I take off to Independence, KS to see Kristen and stay in William Inge's house. The Dark at the Top Of The Stairs was written about this house. I was in that play in high school. I'm interested to see it. Then we drive back to Minneapolis for an event at the Playwrights Center. That next weekend I fly to Baltimore to do a talkback after the last weekend of performances of Single Carrot's production of Food For Fish. (Oct 25) If you're a DC or Baltimore person I hope to see you there. Then back to MN for a short respite before a New York trip for another reading of Incendiary in Nov. Come if you can, Nycers. Then what? I'm not sure. I'd like to not stay on the ground too long. An LA trip? Prague? Paris? If so, I'll have to figure out a way to get some money before now and then.

"Mrs. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor."

Sarah, not Michael

Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.
