Patty has her first day of school in Cardiff today!

Yesterday, Kali fixed our novel by basing the magical system on the sub-prime induced economic collapse and the European credit crisis. I am not even kidding. Unrelatedly, we're also writing a pitch for a miniseries, because she had and idea and I went "but update it and set it now, right?" So hey, we get to come up with a snazzy name for our collective efforts too. We're going to have one more meeting before I go to CH so we can map and then get to work while I'm away.

Meanwhile D&J is has a full outline, an ACT II opener tentatively titled "It's a Cop!" and a plot-critical reference to Australia that's so wrong it's right. No, no really. Poetic too.

Meanwhile, our fundraising video also has an outline, and that will be shot over the weekend. Also getting my hands, finally, on the disc of D&J that I forgot existed to edit into it. I'm hoping we'll be able to have our Kickstarter fundraising page up by the middle of next week.

Treble Entendre is getting closer to having logos and website. Yay.

My singing for Inception: The Musical is getting better. Next time: a bigger drink first. 90% of the problems are all in my head right now.

It may suck, but it's still progress, part 1: "Gay-cure" group Exodus International no longer sponsoring Day of Truth event.

It may suck, but it's still progress, part 2: While more Americans oppose marriage equality than support it, the percentage in opposition has, for the first time, dropped below 50%.

The student targeted for harassment because he's gay by the Michigan ADA speaks out.

Race and the empty seat.

Are any of my fellow New Yorkers going to Click + Drag this weekend? I'm thinking of stopping in after my class reunion.

For all y'all that missed it in comments yesterday, ladyofthelog remarked, brilliantly, that all White Collar fans should mentally replace the individuals in the photo I posted yesterday with Neil Caffrey and Peter Burke. She is entirely correct.

I like to fuck around with gender in the theatre, but it should be something that is done for fun or for experiments' sake or just because, and not to make up for the fact that there's mostly shit out there for women to do as women.

...So there's this other thing with theater-and-gender-roles I've been meaning to do, and if RM's comment is any indication you're also a musical theater person and a singer, and I'd like to pitch this at you to see if you have any ideas for songs/further study/applicability. Is there someplace I can e-mail you the pitch?


And re: the Dream Hunters, I like to think if I pitch it just right I can cast my dream actress-with-genderfuckery as, well Dream.

Dude, totally. Totally. Especially since, between rm and chuckro and jethrien, my flist has collapsed to a singularity with your name on it. ^_~

Sent along, and the feeling is entirely mutual.
