Audio recording of “Rampion”

I almost for got in my frustrations of yesterday. I got an email from The First Line yesterday. Hi, Mary – We’d like to use your story Rampion for an upcoming edition of TFL on Tape. I don’t know if you have the ability to read and record the story yourself, but if you do, […]

Other Hand revised

Well, Other Hand Productions now has a new front page to replace the one eaten by nasty computer code. I will slowly redo the remaining pages on the website to match the new aesthetic, which I like better. So, there is a silver lining. Meanwhile, my computer came back from the shop today. Interestingly, when

Hackers

Today I spent thirteen hours on the computer trying to undo the damage that some hacker did to the Willamette Radio Workshop site. We’ve been attacked with minor vandalism over the last couple of months. Basically, they replace our index.html file with another one. So far, I’ve just replaced it and adjusted the chmod permissions.

Garden Party

Rob and I went across the street to Matt and Marietta’s for a garden party. Marietta started a community garden on the vacant lot that she and Matt own. (We have two rows there.)And they invited all the friends and neighbors to come over for potluck and music.

Dear Mary, &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp We arrived on Saturday morning and Steve was visiting with Josh out at the airport so we just hung out at Steve’s place and

I’ve been working on Arabian Nights design around helping out with Shimmer and am pretty pleased with what I’m doing, if I do say so myself. We’ll see what Chris and Emily say when they see the drawings.

To Kill A Mockingbird

Rob and I went to see the 1962 film last night at the Laurelhurst. It was one of the rare times when we went into a film where I knew more about it than he did. He’d never read the book or seen a stage version, so was seeing the movie virtually blind. Afterwards he

Home again, Home again

I got home at 9:00 this morning. The two shows yesterday went poorly, although the audiences loved them, but they were what I expected from the Friday night show. Dropped lines, skipped scenes, botched numbers…it was still fun, but only because the most of the kids were so earnest about what they were doing. That

Opening Night

Much to my surprise, since we had not done a full run-though, the show went really well. I’m very impressed with the way these kids stepped up to the plate. The girl playing Audrey, who is all of 13 years old, made me cry with her rendition of “Somewhere that’s Green.” She’s got an amazing
