The LAist has been covering 365 plays/365 days in Los Angeles from the beginning. I don’t know if they’re the only ones covering it, but they’re certainly doing the best job. The photo above comes from their article covering the Black Dahlia’s performance on 1/20/07.
Of the eight pieces, two were directed by Obi Ndefo, the guy who directed Week 5 for the Alliance. He is The Real Deal. The LAist’s article lays out the scene at the Dahlia pretty cleanly. I hadn’t intended to be in a 365 since experimental theatre isn’t really my thing, but this was quick and dirty and a whole bunch of fun. Bonus: Susan-Lori Parks came. I said ‘thank you for doing this.’
That’s me with the pretty pretty wings.

This is an actual conversation I had, more or less:
JANUARY 12, 2007
PSYCHO CO-WORKER: Hey, we should have them throw us a little anniversary party; I started a year ago, and you started a year ago tomorrow.
ME: Actually, last September marked a year for me.
PCW: No, I remember you came in in your suit and you had your briefcase -
ME: I don’t have a briefcase.
PCW: Well, you had SOMETHING!
ME: I don’t know what to tell you.
I mean, it’s not like this shit isn’t written down.

So, yeah, my license was suspended. I think it actually says ‘because you’re a douchebag’ on the notice. It’s been a fairly trying period, but we keep trying, don’t we? Thanks to Robert and Adam for keeping me close enough to a life to keep a grip.

There have been some cool things recently that I won’t mention just yet. Well, besides this. Actually, it’s probably best if I just delete this part. But I’m not going to.

Oh, yeah:
BAM!
Carla’s also working on a website for Don’t Gag Me! There’s a placeholder page up, but I won’t link to it yet because she yells at me when I do things like that.
