CollisionWorks

I haven't touched this blog in 8 months, it appears. I think I'll be changing that soon.

With Facebook, Twitter, and other online media becoming such an immediate and satisfying way of communicating with vast numbers -- and where more often you are responded to, and you can SEE the responses, as opposed to a blog, where you often feel that you are sending messages out in bottles from a lonely island, most of which are going unread -- and given that a lot of the communiques I send are more suited to the shorter, telegraphic styles of those spaces, I've forsaken my LJ for Facebook, and to a lesser extent, Twitter. However, sometimes I've been thinking about something longer I'd like to say that doesn't fit those forms, and it seems to be time to get back to longer essays on theatre, film, art, music, and life in general. I have some longer thoughts about my own work, about my improvisational work with David Finkelstein of Lake Ivan, about Citizen Kane, and about the extensive watching of Western Movies Berit and I have been doing, that I've been working VERY slowly on, but which will show up here eventually, so I better keep the place alive for when they do make it to this location.

Also, Gemini CollisionWorks just received the honor of being named one of nytheatre.com's PEOPLE OF THE YEAR for 2011, which you can read about HERE, and as GCW doesn't have a website as such, I found myself linking here once again, but with nothing recent to welcome someone. So, I'll move back in with my weekly Random Friday music posts, and some updates on the works in progress for August, 2012 -- as well as any progress that's made in bringing back our shows from August, 2011, which has their run cut short by Hurricane Irene, leaving a depressing, unfinished quality to the remainder of the year that has only been alleviated by this nice recent honor.

So I'll be back tomorrow with SOMETHING. Now I have to go run errands after watching all the reaction to the honor on Facebook, and be ready to do a staged reading down at Coney Island tonight. See you soon.
