Going to Aspen... and other stuff

6 days til ASPEN!!! Lots to do 'til then, and a lot has happened since I last blogged.

AFTRA
Became AFTRA yesterday. Finally. They gave me a file cabinet full of stuff that I hope I will read, but I will just probably ask people that have been doing it longer than myself -- I mean I will definitely read about the stuff I get for free.

Blaxploitation 2: You know How We Deux!!!
That's been going really well. It's a good show. The first half is funny and the second half is funny and hits you in the face... and people have been saying that it's funny, angry, hard. And makes you think. NIIIIIICE. The cast and crew have done a fabulous job. Come out and see it before you are one of those people that everyone says, "You didn't see Blax 2, ah shit, you missed out, what was you doin', damn, now THAT was a good show!!!" Don't wanna be that person, or the person I just quoted. I also heard that this guy saw the show and the next week he had people in town he said they wanted to see WICKED, but he said NO you got to see this! Not to say we are better than Wicked, but we are BLACKER!!!!

First Full Radio Interview
Inda and I did an interview yesterday on CRIS Radio, and it was about us and Blax and MPAACT and it was like a half-hour long. It went pretty well. We had done NPR before, but it was short. Cool, but only like five minutes. This was a half hour. We were like -- wow, what if we run out of things to talk about -- but it flies by. Man, it was quick.

Aspen
Finally, six days 'til Aspen. Got our itinerary. Our tech guy Marshall the Great is able to come, thank God. Speaking of God, man He works, He is never late but He is always on time. I am not worthy, but thank you for your grace and mercy. Excited about Aspen. We get three performances and we go second out of three groups FROM THE CHI!! CHI TOWN REPRESENT!!! YEAH YEAH!!!! I will be writing in a journal everyday if I am not drunk. Actually I will be writing in a journal EVERYDAY IF I AM DRUNK!!

All that stuff about God, and I end with that. Lord knows I am a work in progress.
