More Squigs around the interwebs...

Hey all! It was a beautiful day here in Los Angeles, capped off with an amazing sunset. I took a break from all my toiling and split the early part of the day between church, a movie, and a bite to eat at a favorite haunt. The Oinkster in Eagle Rock (Classy name, huh?) will be featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives on the 18th, so I wanted to drop in before the crowds are too crazy. I really enjoyed The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I really dig Terry Gilliam's wild visions, and it was really interesting to see how they worked around Heath Ledger's absence. Crazy story about the world not wanting to hear stories any more (and a deal with the devil... as played by Tom Waits). And now I'm at the desk working to tie up many loose ends on the to-do list... e-mails, minor art fixes, paperwork, and planning for the coming week. Argh.


But as I procrastinate, here are a couple of nifty news items. First off, I was contacted by the Stephen Sondheim Society in England asking me about using one of my pieces to help promote an amazing concert that will celebrate Steve's 80th birthday and will raise funds for a charity benefiting children with cancer. Click on the image and look at that lineup. Wow! I'm SO happy to be able to help a little.

And I've been featured in an interview. Don Grigware is a local reviewer here in LA. The interview currently appears on his blog (click HERE to see), but early next week it will also be seen on BroadwayWorld.com since Don is a LA correspondent for that website. I'll post that link when it's available. Thanks, Don!

Now, this coming week must bring oodles of productivity. Lots to do! I rarely give thanks that I'm unemployed, but this would be one of the occasions. So, for now... take care, loved ones! Peace and love to you.
