Standing O at The Onyx in Las Vegas and Friends the next day

Thank you to my awesome host Mr. Stan Clawson.  In honor of the SC ruling, perhaps he thought it funny to take me here.  Great food and great company.

Who says you don't have to put out in this business?

Awesome show in VEGAS last night.  Big Tanx to The Onyx Theatre, the standing ovation crowd, and the notes and such that have followed.  One more night with these fine folks and Southern Gothic Novel....always trying to up my game from the previous night.

But alas, missing the pooch.  T stayed behind for this trip.  Too much desert...so next it's back to La-La to regroup and continue with The Heft of the trip...those long days with no shows to keep my brain alive.  The dog helps.  Save the dog some agony and book something.

On to get an oil change and then make up a whole world again.

A New Header...and a MAP!

The dates, so far, are above.  Just wanted to put this out there so you know there will be a man with a dog and that dog will want water and attention other than mine.  

A - Las Vegas, June 26 & 27, The Onyx Theatre

B - Los Angeles, CA

C - Wichita Falls, TX (research) to Durant, OK (a visit to the Alma Mater)

D - Aberdeen, MS (the setting for Southern Gothic Novel ... of course)

E - Atlanta, GA, July 14-Aug 2

F - New York, NY (the setting for Stabilized Not Controlled...of course)

Taking the route partially taken by the Traveler character in Pamela Parker's upcoming new play imagine this....  

I have to hit A-F but the rest is up for grabs.  For now, I gotta go learn my freakin' lines again.  I mean, the brain knows them but forgot how to make the mouth SAY them.  It ain't called "work" for nuthin'.

Let the Barnstorming Theatre Tour of 2015 Begin

My wonderful dog, Teheché and I will be crossing the U.S. of A from California to Georgia and halfway back.  Or maybe up to NYC first before getting there.  Yes, with a horrible economy, we don't plan anymore.  We wait for God to finish His guffawing; we grab the crumbs and go.  Or "when the touch get going."  

But hey, bookings began to happen.  So now, it's a barnstorming tour of theatrical smallness with big laughs, on-the-road updates, an amazing dog by my side, and hopefully what money I save in rent pays for the gas!   An entire career in the corporate world, I am falling back on my art.   They say entertainment sells well in a depression...er recession...whatever. I don't want to get political.  I will create characters to annoy with that stuff.  

Now it's prep and pack and think about how awesome it will be to have the best travel buddy I could possibly ask for.  He actually LIKES my singing.

I was having to comfort Teheché as he is trying to get through the separation with his hot, blonde girlfriend who taunted him with a Tony Basil haircut with sexy shaved parts and matching purple bandana.  She wants him to miss her.  When I walked in on them, she was doing her poses from the old Sadie Hart days (stage name...none of your business for what). 

We are going to have to leave most of the toys, it's just not fair to the one left behind.  But I will miss the little tramp, too, this Sadie of all hearts.  But really, who doesn't have a blonde floozy back in their last port of call.  T is such a dog.
