Turn On the Heat

It’s so cold outside that I thought I was post this little ditty- a favorite of Brigitte Ditmars.

We’re still in the process of auditions for Die! Mommie, Die! It’s tough, baby, tough! I stayed in yesterday and worked on my taxes for 3 hours. Damn!

It was a mega theater weekend for me. I saw Fatboy at A Red Orchid Theater Friday with The Birds Doug Vickers, who once again proved to be an expert scene stealer.

My God it’s cold outside.
Last night Ed and I went to see Bare at the Bailiwick last night which I admit I was ready to dislike- but I ended up enjoying it. Granted, it was too long, and it’s message was one we’ve heard a million times before- but it was effective. It was a gay teenage […]
