i know! i thought i was the only one who actually visited whiskeyandacigarette (dot org) from time to time, but apparently: I AM NOT ALONE.

it IS kind of eerie. how can i feel confident in spilling my rambling, incoherent guts knowing full well that another Human is actually reading along, every so often? i tell you, it’s unnerving.

so how do i know? what is the evidence?

i actually got a NON-robo piece of hate mail just 6 days ago! here it is, in all its totally Human glory:

so why are you back all of a sudden? we’ve gotten used to your neglectful ways regarding the practically defunct Whiskey and A Cigarette, and now we’re expected to set aside our theatre desires to make room for your triumphant return to Playground-hood? and even start marking our 2009 itineraries for a De Young Museum event?! my advice: get employed, get main-stream, and forget your unique, poetic and even at times poignant individualism. comic-rockstar, my ass…

thank you, anonymous hate mail sender. now i will have to actually update the totally outdate hatemail page on this site.
in other news: i’m participating in a series of new play readings! including my own! in North Beach! i’m a bit frightened, and am still writing the script, but i will be joined by theater artists extraordinaire Acquenetta Summers-Wong, Leon Goetzen, and Dan Weil, who will make me look good. November 6th and 8th (series runs November 1 – 8).

other playwrights on the bill are Adam Chanzit, Christopher Chen, Ignacio Zulueta, & David Bernbaum.

hey there.

i’m not cheating or anything, but i’m starting a side blog called Jealous Gods with my friend daniel tien simon.

perhaps he wishes i hadn’t said anything.

anyway, please read this blog for a bit – it’s here at http://jealousgods.wordpress.com/

i even blogged about my recent performance at APAture 2008 (an ! epiphany! but a personal one; i guess all epiphanies are personal. but i digress).

also, while i’m blogging (this is the “more” part of this post), i was recently awarded the honor of being admitted into the 2008-2009 San Francisco PlayGround writers pool! i couldn’t be more pleased. i was a member of the writers pool in previous years, but didn’t make the cut last year (i take all the blame for this event of unacceptedness; besides, being rejected builds character). anyway, should be an exciting season. check out PlayGround here. oh, the thrills!!!!

more later. in my new unemployed lifestyle, i should make more time for bloggery. so by the time the employment comes raining down on me, i’ll be in the habit of regular bloggery, and being employed shan’t stop me.
