Life is Short

It's been awhile since the last blog activity, and there's no valid reason for it. As part of a new resolution, I'm going to try to keep things short and sweet. In the past, I've had a tendency to ramble.

As some may know, I used to harbor illusions of being a playwright and enjoying all of the perks that come along with such a distinction (destitution, obscurity, pomposity, etc.). Thankfully, I put that dream in my rearview, and I don't think I'm any worse off for doing so.

As it happens, my good friend Nathan turned me on to a 10-minute play festival/event/shin-dig/showcase (take your pick). I submitted a 10-minute play that features—I shit you not—a total of nine actors on stage at once (this is craziness, for people who are familiar with the genre).

Anway, wonder of wonders, it's going to be put on in New York City as part of the Kids With Guns inaugural season (Yes. Now I can say I've covered the Super Bowl and had a play produced in NYC—Suck it, Edgar Allen Poe).

Check out the showcase's myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/sevenshortplays

Incidentally, if it weren't for myspace and having the Life is Short site "befriending" said Nathan, I still wouldn't know about the play being chosen.

So in that spirit, I'll give myspace another blogging trial. You can, of course, continue to find updates here at www.facedowninthemuck.blogspot.com, if you prefer.
