One of my visitors to the Annenberg brought the following article to my attention:

Power of Stories
In case you missed me, I've been blogging at the Annenberg Beach House as their writer in residence. I can't believe how busy I've been, how fast time flies, and how powerful story circles are.
Feel blessed for all the press requests. I was thrilled when Jason Kehe, a journalist from LA Magazine, came down Saturday to interview me before my second story circle, a tribute to Marion Davies, her gift of comedy, "Be Revolutionary: Stand Up and Laugh."
There were about 25 people, with a few latecomers, occupying the Sand & Surf room over the pool. It was so much fun, bursting with love and laughter. We shared embarrassing moments, worst dates/Valentines, favorite comics, and stories of how humor enabled us to overcome.
Is comedy = tragedy + time?
Comedy that left turn? That kink in your plans?
Participants thanked me for creating a safe space where we can connect, remember who we were, who we are, and where we want to be.
Sharing stories is like swapping spit, kissing. Creates an intimacy and a longing that you never want to end. So, as the clock struck 4, R & R invited everyone to their home in Topanga Canyon at a future date to be determined to continue our love and laughter. Just like the first story circle, history repeated itself. Independently, too. R & R did not know that after the first story circle, E & S invited us to their home.
Behold the power of your stories. Our stories.
Be there, Tuesday night, for 99% Guerrilla Literature, 100% Fun

Year of the Dragon
So yesterday I kicked off NewYear's Eve of the Dragon with Sichuan Mary. I needed something to wash out the old -- bad news delivered Saturday night during my wine tasting party -- and ring in the new. Something spicy, hot to cleanse the body and soul.
Today I learned that Colin Newton's article on me appeared, and hard copies will be available tomorrow

Also, my play WIDOW'S PEAK is a semi-finalist in the 8th Annual Lakeshore Players Ten-Minute Play Contest. From 350 to 40. Fingers crossed. I like to win, but then again, who doesn't? Train Your Dragon :-) |
