Hello, New People!

[rm]

Wow!

Just to let everyone know, I'm on a very tight deadline for the end of the month while also trying to get the apartment in order for the return of my partner who has been on an archaeological dig for the last three months.

I will get everyone added back, respond to comments, etc., but it's probably going to take a bit of time.

In the meantime, if there's anything you'd like me to know about you or would like to know about me or you're looking for an excuse to chatter amongst yourselves on something other than ConFail, please feel free to use the comments in this post.

I read in your profile that you're an actor. :) Which productions have you been in? Regarding fencing: epee, sabre, or foil?

I followed dsmoen 's link to your post about LunaCon.

I do historic and classical fencing. Right now my experience is mostly with foil, but I have a deep, deep, crazy love of saber and I can tell that's going to be the big focus moving forward, although I am also looking forward to doing smallsword since the foil is the training tool for smallsword and it is the weapon of one of the eras I play in most.

Acting. Things of note would be that I had a small role in Revolutionary Road and got to do the Lady in Macbeth when I was in Australia. "Big" NYC productions I've done would be Forget Me Not with PRAXIS that involved me waltzing with audience members while telling them secrets and then later helping them into coffins that were then wheeled out of the theater and a small role in a production of Counsellor-at-Law that got a lot of attention a few years back.

I'm one of the dancers in the scene in the road house/bar. I've actually not gone to see it yet but apparently I'm pretty prominent in the moment early on. And I'm in the credits! It's been super exciting.

It was a lot of fun. Sam Mendes is one of several directors I always dreamed of working with, so to have him put his hand on my shoulder and talk to me, was pretty amazing.

It was also a weird shoot, up in CT, we were all in a hotel and the whole town would line the roads to the locations, sometimes 12-year-old girls in evening gowns holding signs that said "we love you Leo".

There was also a lemonade stand with a goat tied to a tree.

We had to stop shooting at one point because he had to rescue a beetle that had landed on Kate and then fallen to the dance floor. Nice guy.

If he's a bug rescuer, then he's right by me!
