What are we up to?

As we speak Eric and I are writing the Ocean's 11 spoof which we hope will achieve approval for performance in the Cabaret Boheme show Viva La Naughty which will be playing at Club Congress on July 26th.


Tonight we hold auditions for "The Doctor Will See You Now," a comedy sketch which I wrote with much assistance from Eric. We actually have the whole thing cast except for the Doctor. I have a good feeling about tonight's auditions though.

Other than that we have The Little Pink Dress Project which is working toward opening a one-stop walk-in center for Street Prostitutes looking to get out of the life. We have a place in mind on South 6th in the City of South Tucson. Right now it just looks like an old motel, 3/4 unoccupied. So before we do much of anything we have to apply for non-profit status.

Speaking of non-profit status, that is also something we want to look into for Cabaret Boheme. We raise funds for other groups as well as do community outreach and provide free acting classes to the public.

And I am teaching acting for tots this summer at the ArtCulture Partnership. Eric begins his documentary classes in July. It's tricky because we need to recruit people from South Park Ave Neighborhood. I think I have one lead so far, Xochitl has one, and we have one returning student from previous recruitment efforts.

I am trying to remain positive and energetic in my work at the Public Library. It's been really hard to get out of bed in the morning since my mom died last year. Sometimes it's discouraging how difficult it can be to get people involved in programs at the library or just checking out books. I do think that I have reached an end crisis point for the time being and I am going to make things fun for myself at work. I have started a book club for kids and I wrote up a few grant proposals.

Ashley Spatula and I are working with her partner Chris and my partner Eric to put together a big outsider art show in the fall. I guarantee it is going to be a great show and a great opening party.


And Solar Culture is having an open call. I think all of us should go down there and hang our stuff.

SUMMER IS HERE! We are going to travel and explore. Guess what? I graduate in July. I will have my BA in Cultural Studies!

Ok, no more devolution into chatter. More later.
