"Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight!"

Tonight at Wild Goose Creative, members of Wild Goose and students from Ohio State University will be performing readings of four superhero plays by Eric Mullins, Andy Anderson, Nick Fancher and myself. The plays include a bog monster, a would-be superhero, and a man who gains insight from Octo's helmet. I attended the rehearsal last night; I think the audience is going to enjoy these! The event is getting some media coverage, too (see above).

It's all part of the three-day Geekfest celebration at Wild Goose Creative. Robot standup comedy, a comic book read-in, two Settlers of Catan tournaments and more are on tap!

Admission to the show tonight is $5.00 per person. If you don't have $5.00, don't let that stop you from showing up.

Let Us Now Praise Famous Men

I finished reading James Agee's book yesterday. What a remarkable, profound work!

Agee's reportage on Alabama tenant farmers in 1936 is defiantly contrary, meandering, poetic, autobiographical, incendiary, angry, beautiful, sensitive, visionary, ugly, sometimes even funny.

Walker Evans' accompanying photographs give sad testimony to a text so detailed and comprehensive, the reader could - after reading this book - make his way through a tenant farmer's house blindfolded.

"Octo's Helmet" Part of Geekfest

The first act of my superhero play-in-progress, Octo's Helmet, will be performed on June 18th, as part of the three-day Geekfest at Wild Goose Creative.

Members of WGC will be bravely tackling the roles of Rabbit Lass, Metal Elbow, and other forlorn misfits. Octo's Helmet will be only one of many tributes to geekiness; more superhero plays, robot standup comedy, a comic book read-in, two Settlers of Catan tournaments and more are on tap!

More details will be posted soon at the Wild Goose Creative site: http://www.wildgoosecreative.com/Wild_Goose_Creative_%7C_Home.html

Killer Cover

Nice noir paperback cover I picked up at a yard sale: Signet # 879, 1951.

Anyone recognize the cover artist? His name's not printed anywhere on the book.
