Press for SouldMarch 7, 2007

Epilogue: Well, the final show went off well.  I’ve come to a few conclusions about live performance.  First, that they are exciting.  Second, that I think I prefer the atemporality of written fiction to the actual stage.  When your work is going on on a stage, anything can go wrong.  Someone’s phone rings, someone forgets a line, and the show may suffer.  Written work, if read under unfavorable circumstances, may be reread, given a second chance.  I like that, I think.

I don’t know how or why, but Sould has popped up in a few papers around Fresno. The Bee is the Fresno paper. My show is just a blurb in this article, but it’s a top-5-picks-of-the-Rogue-Festival kind of blurb. The guy who’s doing the picking I don’t know, but he knows talent when he sees is. The Colegian is the campus paper. (When I heard that there would be an article in the campus paper I pshawed, thinking campus papers are worthless. But then I thought about it: there are over 20,000 students at Fresno State. That’s more people than the entire city of Georgetown, Tx, let alone Southwestern. The Collegian is a far cry from the campus “news” I learned to avoid in college. And at any rate, press is good for the show that’s coming up this Saturday.)
