No, I didn't get into the New School's MFA program (or rejected, for that matter). I also have nothing new to report about my book, Off the Beaten (Subway) Track (although I did verify that it will be out in early July). I am fucking psyched because my very favorite musical of all time, Chicago's longest-running, is back for a limited time after an 8 year hiatus!!!
Yes, Co-Ed Prison Sluts will amuse, delight, and nauseate audiences once again! Man, how can you go wrong with an improv comedy musical about life in a co-ed prison? The classic songs include: Shit, Motherfucker (about swearing at people who come onto you), Eating People (about being arrested for cannibalism), and A Book Can Take You Anywhere! (about the importance of reading). And who can forget, Hey, Little Girl, the most hilarious song ever written about child molesters? (OK, the only hilarious song about that topic. It's wrong, I know.)
Somehow, I convinced Husband that we must pre-buy tickets. (He's indulging me this one last time.) Who else is coming? It's gonna be GREAT!

I want to come see it!!! I haven't seen it since we were in high school. My youth group leader was in it for years. He played Hamster Man.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. I think I'd go up there for that! When?
ReplyDeleteYOu know, I'm an idiot. Duh, you put a link there. sorry, not driving to chicago, but I so would love to see it.
ReplyDeletei am so excited for your book to come out!
ReplyDeleteand that sounds like a pretty fun musical.
No Regrets - I was all excited that you'd journey out there, but yeah, Chicago is far. It seems like the theater company has a show at the NY Fringe Festival in August. I can't guarantee that it is good, but maybe we could go?
ReplyDeleteMar - You are welcome to join me for the 4th! It's my granny's birthday that day, too. Fun will be had.
Alex - Those were the days, right?
I'll look up when it is. That would be very cool. Though I'm driving up to Maine Labor Day weekend, so if it's the weekend before, not likely...
ReplyDeleteFYI: Sonic Youth and The Feelies: free in concert at Battery Park, July 4th! Part of WFMU's Free Music Series and our 50th Anniversary celebration. To reserve tickets, visit River to River's website at NOON on Thursday, June 12 (don't be late, we expect that tickets will disappear quickly!).
ReplyDeleteAh, that's when I'll be in Chicago, but thanks for letting me know.
