• NOTLD coming along nicely

  Posted by gmadmin   |   February 28, 2012

  Making great progress with Night of the Living Dead. This might be the most fun I’ve ever had writing a script. 🙂

  Oddly enough, I’ve had almost no ideas musically for this show. That’s fine – I have ideas for the placement and subjects of the songs, and I have plenty of time to come up with the songs later – but it’s just unusual for me. Usually the music comes first and the plot comes later.

  I’m pretty much all set for Tampa in a few weeks! Woo!

• Night of the Living Dead begins!

  Posted by gmadmin   |   February 25, 2012

  First day of writing Night of the Living Dead (after extensive outlining) went really well!!! This one is practically writing itself. It’s going to be great. It has very little in common with the movie, though.

  I’m also thrilled with how the demo tracks for It’s a Wonderful Life are sounding. Leah sounds amazing in “Live for Today.” Looking forward to recording another song or two for Hipster in the near future. I might forego doing backing tracks for The Phantom Empire at all because I really think that musical should be played live anyway, and there are already plenty of recordings of those songs to use as a reference.

  I really want to write a musical about Paris. I have some great ideas. Maybe 2013 (hopefully I’ll get to write on-location!).

  For now I’m enjoying my first-ever laptop computer. I got it on Craigslist for $200 and it’s sweeeet. I’ve always been prejudiced against laptops because I like to have plenty of room at my desk and laptops feel so cramped, but this will make it a lot easier for me to get work done while traveling. Maybe I’ll start going to Starbucks to write and become one of THOSE guys lol.

• Florida Festival! Helloooo Tampa!

  Posted by gmadmin   |   February 24, 2012

  It looks like I was able to get into the Florida and California thespian festivals despite having missed the registration deadline. So I’m going to Tampa baby! Woooo!!! I’ll be staying at a funky little hostel near the convention center. The place has a hot tub, a bar, a stage for live music, and the dorm where I’ll be sleeping is inside an old train car. They’re even renting me a bike for the weeks so I won’t need to rent a car. I cannot express how stoked I am about this vacation – I mean WORK trip! When I’m not manning a booth at the convention, I’ll be taking in the sights and sounds and beaches of Tampa!

  In other news, check out the new track for It’s a Wonderful Life, “1999”!

• Thespian Festivals 2012

  Posted by gmadmin   |   February 15, 2012

  I’ve been so swamped that I hadn’t even thought about the thespian festivals this year until Leah called me to remind me that Alabama’s is coming up! (We went to Alabama’s Thespian Festival last year in Huntsville and had a blast.) It doesn’t look like we’ll be able to make it to Alabama’s on such short notice, so I’d better start searching online to see what other states are coming up. Even if we can’t make it out there in person it would be nice to at least send something.

• New website!

  The new site is up and running!!! Our dependence on Google Apps grows deeper and deeper. Now I can stop pretending I’m a web designer and get back to work on Night of the Living Dead. 🙂
