SEPTEMBER UPDATE

Hello, all! I'm just back in from a hectic latesummer & settling back into Portland. Burning Man was brilliant; this year, I drove there with Enrique of Soriah and then camped with a smashing group of performers, artists, and an opera director, from Seattle and San Francisco, including Kristen Tsiatsios and Vanessa DeWolf.

In addition to performing actions and mad shadow puppet theatre with those fabulosas, I enacted the Burqua Walk with photographer Steve Fritz. Photos will be posted as available.

The photos here are also by Steve, stills from my "Let Settle and Open Slowly" piece at the Richard Foreman Mini-Festival at Performance Works NW in August 2006. The other theatre-performed piece I did in August was "Please Rescue Me" at Goddard College in Vermont.

Also, my Bold-Sky reading this month has been cancelled (Bold-Sky closed down). I am not planning any scheduled, official public performances or appearances for the near future. But I'll be writing about TBA (the Time Based Art festival) in Willamette Week and other publications.

My short story "Reno" will be published in Literary Cash: Writings Inspired by the Legendary Johnny Cash, an anthology of works inspired by Johnny Cash and his writings (BenBella Books). Pre-order here. Northwest Edge: a new edition of Northwest Edge is out from Chiasmus Press, including my short story "Jack & Camaro." The book includes a DVD as well. Buy from Powell's here. And there's also Plazm 28 to consider. Jon Raymond, Joshua Berger, and I have made a nice treat for you. It's the 28th issue of Plazm magazine.
