Noel...



and because it seems fitting (especially if you know the play or nietzsche, one of the pysch/theory allusions i built on in the script...

"[Man] is a cord, stretched between animal and superman, a cord above an abyss. Man is not the dancer but the dance or the cord itself. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end."

the song I accordingly use for the end of the show and the dedication to Noel...

I love you, bitch. It will do what it's meant to. I'm sure great things will happen with, for or because of this play. You're a star already. R.I.P. Noel.

amazingly, 2 years, 1 month, and 5 days after his murder, his killers STILL have not gone to trial, something that drives me crazy.

Sadly it doesn't surprise me.

and all thanks and love to the test readers from the org (and other friends) who helped it get to this point.

Good Luck hun.

Hey my friend

Definitely keep us updated on how the reading goes. You know I think it's a really strong piece and deserves to be seen/heard.

Is there where I'm supposed to say break a leg?

i never understood that tradition.

i had the weirdest nightmare about being in a movie depicting the multiple murders of cast members of the original run of "annie" by an insane producer inside his nyc lighthouse.

i was running up and down curved stairs trying to rescue little girls playing orphans.

stop stressing

Keeping it all crossed for you and sending all kinds of good vibes.

Best of British to you me old mucker. (that means good luck in this queen's english)

It sounds really interesting, and with me you can't go wrong putting Nietzche and The Killers together on stage

vivid said:

the nietzche is only there minimally. the much more present theory is freud's theory of concious/subconcious, with the superego, ego, and id fighting for control. in the show, i have noel as ben's superego, ben as his own ego, and anna as ben's id all fighting for control of the show/his concious mind.

i love my pop psychology. writers are nothing if not amateur psychologists.

cborgman said:

Sounds brilliant! I love the idea of the three parts on stage together. Hope it all goes swimmingly

Sending out good vibes.



Am I the only one who read "gagging Noel"?

Remember to breathe okay?

TheVoid said:

no, not the first. it used to bother me, but then i realized that "gagging noel" sounjds so porny that people tend to do a double take.

"gauging" (the british spelling) was even worse.

thank you everyone.

Best wishes !

fingers crossed (it's supposed to be ) (damn, allow some emoticon re-interpretation y'all)

i actually feel much calmer now. got a lil' high, and am watching a dvd of old rosie o'donnell show clips.

not only should you break a leg, break a penis bone too!!

Hope it all goes well.

I shall dedicate this weekend's bender to you and your show!

That might be misread as "gouging" which is moving in the wrong direction...

mcmeekle said:

often times a theatre goer is gouged.

mcmeekle said:

exactly.

one of his brothers (who is one of my oldest friends and like a brother to me) called and said "tell me the title is not "gouging noel"

i almost had a heart attack.
