vacation
Starting this weekend, K and I are taking a trip up to
artists housing in MA where we plan to write and read
and swim and jog for two weeks out in the wilderness.
I hope to start and finish a screenplay there.

I don't know if they get the internet in the woods of
MA so I may not post for a couple of weeks, or my
posting could increase tenfold. No way of knowing.
You will just have to stick it out and see.

The night Bobby came back to town
The night Bobby came back to town
We all dressed up and gathered round
No one knew what was going down
It would be a sight, there could be a fight
Bobby stepped into the light
Lisa said and we agreed
It’d been ten years or so
That Bobby left and we all stood
Outside and watched him go
Nina said he’d held her head
And kissed her in the snow
It would be a sight, there could be a fight
Bobby stepped into the light
He was unshaven, he was tired
Some say retarded, some say inspired
Dicky and Johnny both were wired
It would be a sight, there could be a fight
Bobby stepped into the light
And he looked at us just standing there
Needing his voice to cut the air
He sat in silence in his chair
This was the night, there could be a fight
Bobby stepped into the light
--
And then Bobby sung the song he sang the day he left:
“This is a song for the lonely
And the beautiful like you
This is a song for the tired
And for those who can’t break through
This is a song if you’re the last one
To stumble to your door
A song for the unrequited
A song if you want more”
And we all joined in to sing along the song he sang the day he left
“This is a song for the lonely
And the beautiful like you
This is a song for the tired
And for those who can’t break through
This is a song if you’re the last one
To stumble to your door
A song for the unrequited
A song if you want more”
Bobby left in the middle of the song
We sang so loud ourselves
We didn’t notice he was gone
And if we sing that loud again
Maybe he’ll be back along
Someday
“This is a song for the lonely
And the beautiful like you
This is a song for the tired
And for those who can’t break through
This is a song if you’re the last one
To stumble to your door
A song for the unrequited
A song if you want more”

a clown song
CLOWNS UNDERCOVER!!
You know it! You saw it! The space in the basement
They hide in the cupboard. They hide in the floor.
You know it! Confront it! The place where the face went.
They’re in there! They’re out there! Board up the door!!!
Cause once they come in here there’s no way to stop them.
They don’t listen to reason, don’t listen to rhyme.
They are knocking you over. They are pushing you under.
This time they will get you. They’ll get you this time.
You know it! You saw it! The space in the basement
Why didn’t you listen? I told you the score.
You knew it! You saw it! The place where the face went.
The clowns are all coming. Right through the door.
1-2-3-4!!
CLOWNS UNDERCOVER!!!
Cause now that they’re in here there’s no way to stop them.
They are licking your girlfriend, they are drinking your wine.
They are knocking you over. They are pushing you under.
This time they’ll outdance you. They’ll outdance you this time.
And the clown says:
Dance Motherfucker Dance
And your girlfriend says:
Dance Motherfucker Dance
And your friends all say:
Dance Motherfucker Dance
CLOWNS UNDERCOVER!!!
The Supply Closet
I'm going down to the supply closet
Going to get a ream of paper
I'm going down to the supply closet
Going to get a ream of paper
And I'm going to print up all those reports and
photocopy them so you can read them
That's the kind of day it is
That's the kind of day it is
I'm going down to the supply closet
Going to get a box of staples
I'm going down to the supply closet
Going to get a box of staples
Then I'll staple those papers together –so close
together for you like you've never seen
That's the kind of day it is
That's the kind of day it is
I'm going down to the supply closet
Gonna get a new blue pen
I'm going down to the supply closet
Gonna get a new blue pen
And I'll stab you in the eye with it
Stab you with my new blue pen
I will stab you and stab you
And stab you
That's the kind of day it is
That's the kind of day it is

dreaming of a theatre movement
http://www.avltheatre.com/forte/2007/06/every_city_could_have_a_dead_c_1.html
and the challenge
A CHALLENGE, AN OFFER
Let me close with this ...
I run a very cool, small professional theatre company in the Heartland (Columbus, Ohio). We're in the process of figuring out the next year of work (guess whose play I'm angling for). I'm reading plays like a fiend right now. (Thanks again to everyone who suggested and sent plays.) I would be willing to try this National Opening (I don't even think the play has to be brand new) thing, even on a smaller scale with 4-8 small theatres. March 2008 would work well for us. If anyone's interested, email me (inbox at avltheatre dot com). I DARE YOU
book swap
I did this thing. I'm trying it out. I think it's a
good idea. Not sure. But if you want to try it out
their propoganda is below:

I hereby convene the International Week of Blog Gibberish
The great thing about having your own blog is that you
can do whatever you want. If you want to write
gibberish for a week, people will click on it and be
like "I don't know. he's writing gibberish." and
maybe they will return and maybe they won't. But you
can do it. The internet is the newest form of
freedom. It's necessary, especially as our freedoms
as a country have been diminishing during the course
of this administration.

freedom. It's necessary, especially as our freedoms
as a country have been diminishing during the course
of this administration.
And that is what TV still can't get to. You can put
any crazy ass film on you tube or your personal
website and if people don't watch it, it's no big deal
but it could just as easily get a billion hits. But
if it doesn't, there is no one to answer to. There
are no ratings. There is only liberation and complete
freedom to say anything or do anything.
Blog gibberish for freedom!

It's over, but
Jordon Harrison's play at Clubbed Thumb was pretty
great. If you missed it, there is always the hope
Clubbed Thumb or someone else will pick it up again.
In the meantime, perhaps now is a good time to buy tix
for his upcoming show at Playwrights Horizons.

monologue cut from Susan Gets Some Play
Susan. They said she had the face that launched one
hundred thousand battleships to the galaxy Thendore.
Her name was Lieutenant Susan Louise O'Connor and the
first time I saw her I knew why this war had been
raging through the galaxy for a thousand years. You
see, when Kinglores see something beautiful, they have
to have it and when they first saw Susan, anyone could
have predicted that it would tear their race apart and
destroy countless planets, disrupt the universal
balance and kill many a young hotshot fresh-faced from
the Star Hopper Academy for Advanced Life. There was
just no other way it could have played out. Also
there was no way to avoid the fact that I too would
fall under her charms, like it or not, I was hooked.
It was the face she had. The face that tore the
universe apart and had grown men armwrestling and
partaking in fluevogeling contests.
