The first bit of press for the show came out today…thanks to the Tampa Tribune.
Despite the fact that she misspelled my name whenever I’m quoted.
The contest is officially over. We’ll be deciding the winner later today. Stay tuned…
JUST A REMINDER!!!!
That’s right folks it’s contest time. I’m giving away two tickets to see the WORLD PREMIER of The March of the Kitefliers on opening weekend at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center.
The play takes place in a coffee shop. The play also has an open mic night filled with hilariously bad poetry. To enter the contest all you have to do is send an email to
BADPOETRY at GONZONIA.COM with the worst open mic poetry you can come up with. ORIGINAL POETRY ONLY. Please don’t send me Emily Dickinson just because your 9th grade English teacher derided you about your choice in undergarments.
The poems will be judged on whatever me, the other writer and the director decide we like the best. If you win I’ll email you and let you know. You’ll be able to use the tickets for any show opening weekend (8pm Fri. Aug 5th, 8pm Sat Aug 6th, or 4pm Sun Aug. 7th. I’ll need to know in advance which show and they’ll be waiting for you at will call).
All entries must be recieved by 11:59pm July 29. The winner will be notified by August 1st.
Good luck and may the worst poet win.
I have to say, I feel like there’s this expectation now. That there’s this group of people out there who have my site up on their screen and every 30 seconds they’re hitting the refresh button waiting to see if I’ve posted something. Usually they just sigh and wait some more, but today, they will be elated as I post not once, but twice (and within just minutes of each other!)
Okay, well, there’s really not much to post about. We’ve got some good (bad?) entries for the contest. Still hoping to get more. The young’un’s sleeping patters are still incredibly erratic, much to his mother’s dismay. Some nights he sleeps for 4 hours at a time, but Sunday night he woke every hour and fed then spent all of Monday tired and irritable.
We did discover though that setting a bed time routine seems to have helped in at least getting him to start sleeping earlier. For the past couple of nights he went to sleep before 10pm!
Exciting, exciting stuff I know. Please try to control your enthusiasm. However, if you feel you must do something, you can use my contact form to request donation or wish list information.
I was reading Midnight Culmination today and Rachel* was a little upset by her lack of inclusion in the St. Peteersburg Times list of local blogs. Now, since I think here blog is a much more popular, and definitely a much more updated blog than mine, I was suprised…no..shocked, to see Gonzonia included among the list.
If you bought something, and it broke under warranty, when you took it back to the store what would you expect to happen if they no longer carried that exact model, but carried a comparable model?
Wow. G and I went to the mall to see a movie on Friday (thanks to her mom babysitting), and I saw someone who was either truly expressing themselves in a unique way, or sporting the fashion of a sub-culture I’d not seen. It appears that the pirate look is in.
Sorry for the bad picture, but the cell phone only goes so far. Notice the boots, the sash (that’s it dragging to the ground), the bandanna on the head, the billowy shirt (which was open down to near his navel)….
Now I wonder if high school “pirates” are like high school goths. Do they sit around and go “arrrgh matey” like high school goths talking about how much they want to be vampires?
(No offense to my goth friends, I am referring to the immaturity of high school not the sub-culture itself)
Seeing this I suddenly felt out of touch. I felt this huge gap between me and those that are in high school. Damn it I felt old!
