Fun Personal News:

– I will be performing my one-person show 74 Facts and One Lie at a fundraising benefit for a theatre company in March. I submitted the script for their consideration – they had asked me if I had anything to perform and that is definitely something I have … and they want me to do it! It’s a good thing. I can’t wait. It’s been a while since I’ve done that piece for people – and I gotta say: it’s a damn BLAST. Tee hee. Excitement!

    Congratulations, Sheila! Went back and read the piece, and just loved it! It’s so interesting how a series of disjointed facts can tell us so much about someone. Although I wonder if the facts you chose to remember/recount tell us more about him, or you?

    When are you taking this on the road to Chicago?

    THIS IS **SO** COOL!!! The pinnacle of awesomeness! If I’m in the States in March, I might head up for that. Expecially if I get the “Break It Up Lady” and Liza at the after party. :)

    Congrats!!!!

    Fantastic news! I’m totally stoked for you, Sheila. It’s such an amazing piece (I read about once a month) and I’m sure that seeing you perform it must be awesome. Any chance you could be videotaped and put on the net?

    Sheil- I received a thing in the mail from that theatre about their fundraising. Such a wonderful place… PS I have already lined my sister up to keep the kids for the night, so Tom and I can come down to the fundraiser. Let me know if it IS 3/11 for sure.
    PPS Member when Betsy and I were laying on your bed and made you do the show for us? I had a dream about that last night.

    jenny – I’ve been so nuts out in LA that I just really processed your comment now. I agree with you – although that wasn’t my intent. I sat down to write about HIM … i wanted to honor him and celebrate him … and I do think it tells a lot about me. Who I am. I mean, after all – who we choose to love does tell a lot about who we are.

    What a man he was. Is.

    beth – oh my god, that was so amazing – doing it for you guys in my apartment!!! sniff, sniff …

    It is definitely March 11 – but I will confirm all of the other details when i know it. I’m just one of the “acts” on the bill … it should be a really fun night!
