Fuck It, Let’s Scrap This Motherfucker and Start Over Again. Fuck It.

Happy Wednesday! Life is crazy. Ugh. Here we go!

1. Despite the fact that Fringe inches ever closer with every given day, I’ve decided to scrap what I’ve written so far and go an entirely different route. It means going back and essentially starting from scratch, but it’s the much stronger decision artistically. I think. I don’t know. Why don’t you decide for me? Schedule my show, go see it and then afterwards tell me if I made the right choice. I’m not going to tell you what my other option was, which will make it more difficult for you to make an informed decision, but just assume the option I opted out of involved…I don’t know, all bad choices.

There is a fair to good chance, given my schedule, that the first time I perform this show will be on my opening night. That both excites and terrifies me.

2. Have spent the last five or six days re-building/designing the BNW stage. Let me re-phrase. While others have been re-building/designing, I have been merrily providing my labor in the form of a grunt. It’s been so much fun, the stage looks awesome and I have been reminded of my first job out of college in which I helped do the exact same thing for the Illinois Theater Center. Ahhhh memories…Today, I’m a chubby old man with bones covered in skepticism. Back then I was exactly the same, only chubbier. Damn you, Sanfratello’s Pizzieria!

3. Five days before my Fringe show opens, the BNW’s political show, The Lion, The Witch and The War Hero; or Is McCain Able?, premieres! Holy political satire! In fact, we begin tech rehearsals for the show this afternoon.

4. I’m thinking of having my Mom be a “guest blogger” on my site for a week in August. Since I’m sure you’re reading this, consider this your invitation, Mumsy.
