Good morning, comrades. The year is one quarter complete! The perpetual march of time continues apace despite our desperate attempts to either speed through the horrible moments of our lives, or freeze the precious. Regardless of which futile struggle you are engaged in, don’t forget to drink some water and stretch your muscles and maybe pet a domesticated animal (dealer’s choice).
A NEW THING: I was requested to write a piece for The Ugly Radio, a podcast of speculative fiction that I have submitted pieces for several other times in the past. And they published it last Friday! The title of the piece is, “An Official Transcript of Events that Transpired at Spacer Bill’s Tavern (With Commentary).” The genre: sci-fi horror with overt socialist themes. The episode is available here.
AN UNSEEN THING: A couple of years ago, I participated in my friend K. Brian Neel’s 10th anniversary performance of Jesus Christ Ukulele Star, an event I have mentioned in this newsletter before. Brian was great about facilitating a COVID-safe environment that year, which was greatly appreciated. Here is a video of that 2022 performance, cut by Sarah Shay.
That’s all for now. I am working on other creative things, but they may not see the light of day for some time. Thank you for reading and thinking of me.
