hello, friends,
well, i finished up an amazing two weeks with the 2005 playpenn conference. for those of you in a position to hire artists in theaters, please take a look at each and every playwright, director, designer, actor and dramaturg. and those interns could use jobs, too! hats off to paul for excuting a remarkable vision.
after a cocktail with some of the artists and after the commission panel, i came home panicked about what to bring to japan. fortunately, michael and jason put their special skills to work and somehow it all got done. they also offered counsel on how and where to pack arthur for the trip.
so, i have a fair amount of anxiety about this trip. i don't speak the language at all (and we all know how much i love to talk), i don't really know where i am going and i frankly don't know what to expect once i get there. i mean, we all know how much i love sushi (http://www.shiroihana.com and http://www.sushinyc.com/show_rest.asp?restid=249), but wow.
i also get to revisit a bit with myself. i have often wanted to go back to the monastery (www.benetlake.org), but just haven't found the time to do it. this is, hopefully, going to be like that trip.
off to pack the last of the items: notebook with the playwriting book in it, files for the fall classes, the latest draft of my flu play, and some drama department stuff. i also have MIDDLESEX and ron chernow's biography ALEXANDER HAMILTON (http://www.washcoll.edu/wc/news/press_releases/05_05_08_chernow.html)
it's nice to know that i'll have some friends coming along. and if you like what you are reading, please spread the word. i look forward to hearing from you on the journey.

Volanksy - you are indeedly the god of my idolotry. Welcome to the world of blogging. I"ll be sure to link to you on my blog. Just saw Ani DiFranco two nights ago, I'm ready to start the revolution - let's make it happen, ja?

Hope you're doing well!

Enjoy the journey! You are sure to meet exciting people and see amazin places along the way. I am sure that, if anyone can quickly command a language, you can with your insatiable need for adult conversation!
I look forward to your adventures with the reading of your blog (did I mention that I learned how to blog this year too??)
Peace, love and passports
Sheila
