Well, I'm back. This was wonderful. I'm going again next year:

So, You Wanna do Radio?
Here's something fun to do... spend five days at the Midwest Radio
Theatre Workshop. MRTW is a gang of people, pros really, that get
together once a year to do a workshop on radio drama. MRTW has
everything you've ever wanted to know about how to write, act, direct
and produce radio drama. Besides courses on writing, directing, etc.,
there are courses on how to record voices, how to create weird sound
effects, and some fun technical stuff. And it goes on for days!
It's Very Lively
But what's the most fun is on the last day, everyone participates in a
live performance. Three or four or more original radio plays are
performed. You'll either act in it, make weird sounds, or do technical
things. It's performed live on stage before an audience, as well as
live on the radio. (It's very lively.) This is not the sort of
workshop where you sit and yawn to droning lectures. This is hands on,
feet in, breathe in and out, you're working all the time, total
participation, every cell of your body and brain... you are totally
involved.
The energy builds and builds throughout the week and when you hit Friday
night's live performance, it's really crazy. People are sitting out
there in the theatre. People are glued to their radios. The director
swings down his arm, points with his finger, the mike's live, and you're
on.
And then, following the performance, there's a big party for everyone.
Yeaa!
You'll meet sharp, creative people like yourself and make some lifetime
friends. Believe me, it's true.
MRTW is happening October 26-30. It's in Columbia, Mo. A nice town in
the Missouri wine country. It's only $225 for five days and they only
take 55 people. So step on it.
If you've ever wanted to do radio drama, or just get outta the house and
meet some neat people and have fun, we highly recommend this one.
For complete information, call 314.874.5676 or write to MRTW, 915 E.
Broadway, Columbia, MO 65201.

After that, who knows? Eventually New Orleans and then Lost Angeles.
Or somewhere else.
Leave messages at 617.253.0184. If you want a funny postcard from
somewhere, be sure to leave your name and address, and to speak clearly,
spelling all the hard words.

Other times I can barely see.
Lately, it occurs to me
What a Long Strange Trip It's Been!"

I will be in town through the 30th of December at least. If I actually
survive the Alpha Phi Omega National convention, I'll probably head home
sometime during the first couple days of January. When I get back to
Boston depends on a bunch of variables which I haven't even quite
figured out yet, but it's likely to be toward the end of January (my
first IAP not spent almost entirely here). Anything to keep the parental
units happy while they're still footing most of the bills....
However, one way or another, I'll get net access while I am in San
Francisco, whether that means spending $3.60 in round-trip BART fare
plus $1.70 for bus fare to get to UC Berkeley, or borrowing a modem and
finding a dial-up BBS with telnet access, or going to my high school
which is now pingable on the Internet....

In Cold Ink
President Reagan at the signing of the Social Security Bill: "And I am
now going over and sign, and as you can notice now cold it is, twelve
pens there are too cold --- they can only sign one letter, each pen.
If my name came out to thirteen letters, I would have misspelled it."
