my dedication gets worse and worse...

as you can see, i'm behind again. at this point, the blog appears to be monthly as opposed to weekly. i still get photos every week, i just forget to post them i guess.

oh well. another catch up post. ENJOY.

march 25 - march 31
i don't seem to have any pictures from this week. according to my planner i had coffee with amalia, rehearsed for my staged reading, and prepared for my boss' departure to her new job (i.e. i was at work A LOT). so, here's a picture of shannon and i at guilty pleasures. it's a silly picture, but as i said previously i felt good that night, no matter what the picture looks like.

i self-produced a staged reading monday of this week! i rented the Seattle Center House Black Box Theatre and got together a great group of friends who also happen to be very talented actors and put on a reading of three new one-acts i have written called Related Strangers. special thanks to Emily Kight, Anna Townes, Amanda Woodard, Shannon Erickson, and Analiese Guettinger for helping me get my work on it's feet.

i think the reading went very well. we had a pretty good turn-out, probably 15-20 people. a couple of very important people from work came to see the reading which meant a lot to me. and when i came to work on tuesday, i found this tapped to my computer:

i apparently forgot to fill out my planner for most of this week so i can't really reminder what i did. it was the office baby's first birthday though and he graced us with his presence for happy hour on the porch on a sunny day. happy first year wyatt (and congrats to josh & danielle!).

this was a week of a couple of rehearsals with blood ensemble for a project called blood/sailing. it's a generative work based on a concept album by seattle heavy metal band Smooth Sailing. the show will take place in july at a to-be-determined venue. and between now and then a lot of fundraising is happening. so on april 16th, we filmed rehearsal for our upcoming kickstarter campaign. our filmographer also got some awesome stills during rehearsal. here's my favorite:
