I have a lot on the horizon.
1) BEYOND THE BORDERS 7. Wow, it's already time for the BtB fest again! Shit! Time flies. I used to be on the staff of this venerable fest but close readers will recall that between September '07-May '08 all I did in my spare time was plan LAFF and my Ladycollege Reunion. Adding BtB to my schedule would have been the proverbial straw, so I quit and I have no regrets. I can only do so much volunteer event planning. AND, this is the first festival that I will simply be a patron of and I am very excited about that. Just watching shows and such. Whee!
The Geegsters are in a headlining slot this year. We are honored and delighted that the BtB sees us fit to fit the bill in this big way. We have worked hard and are tickled even pinker than usual.
2) LEXICOGRAPHY CLASS. Starts next Wednesday. Can't wait to nerd it up with the local Dictionarians!
3) NOHO REDUX. I'm spending the second weekend of September in the Motherland for my second tour of volunteer training on the 'mater's dime. I'm hopefully meeting up with Father Dictionary (one of my Dictionary colleagues quit to become a Catholic priest) for some Catholic consulting for Novel #2, which will hopefully be mostly done by the end of...
4) VERMONT!!!! Only a month away! WTF!!?!? What am I going to do in the woods for four weeks without BOB? Other than write my little bum off and huff New England foliage like it's gas? Work in the kitchen, connect with the 40 or so other artists that will be in residency too. Stare at the stars. Coin-op laundry. Self-doubt. Revolution. Art. Love. Vermont. Vermont!
and then...yes...
5) CHOP SOCKY: THE RETURN. Currently fighting with insurance over this right now. I'm really going to do it this time. I've been having too many health issues of late to let this go any longer.
And finally:
6) JOBBY-JOB. I don't plan to quit writing, but I do need to go back to work and earn me some $ and have somewhere to go every day.
That's my horizon.
Now, onto rehearsal!
