Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What do you consider the most important vote you have ever cast? What is the first election you rememebr as a girl?

What was it like to be a woman before sufferance?
Sorry, not helping.
Conventional wisdom says that people get more conservative as they get older - did you start out as an anarchist?
Still not helping.
You might go after the female side rather than the age side. Ask what she thinks about a female president, about the changing roles of women in politics, etc. And maybe ask about the experience of being a Dem in AZ. On both of those you should be able to establish rapport with her.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Does anyone remember the Lilith story I wrote? I can't find it anywhere on my hard drive, and I was hoping that someone saved a copy.
t fingers crossed

Thanks. I'm kinda annoyed with myself. A lesson in backups and saving things in more permanent places. It was written on the computer before this one, which now belongs to Nick, and then we moved and changed ISPs so it's not up online.

Thank god for CD burners, though I keep having to talk myself out of printing out hard copies.

I may have burned a copy to a cd somewhere. But if I did, I haven't been able to find it yet. This is what comes of moving, dang it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Email I just got from an actor/director friend in Boston, trolling for writers to workshop their WIPs with his company this summer:
Hey, have you written any scripts? Got any lying around that you want to send my way? Or possibly your friends? Village Theatre Project has a summer, playwrighting "retreat". We get a playwright, a director and some professional actors together and work on a script. I think this year it would be about a week long and it would be northwest of Boston, in Ashby (The Ashby Retreat, we have so cleverly dubbed it), August 4-12th. We have already produced two plays that were originally workshopped at our retreat. The play could be a rough first draft, it could be a polished 4th draft or whatever. Just needs to be something a playwright is interested in working on with some other folks. And hopefully not about crack-addicts or sex-trafficking of children. Our audience is new and we are trying to work up to those things.
The company website may not have fully updated info on the retreat; if anyone's interested or knows a New England-area writer (or one willing to spend a week there) who might be interested, ping me and I'll give you his email addy.
He and his wife are smart, funny, thoroughly splendid people, both gifted performers and writers, and it should be a great experience.
