About me: I'm a storyteller. A live talking performer type storyteller.
My lastest original solo show is called Personal Ad
Before that I've written some other shows they are called: Smoking is Cool Getting There Cheap Rent and Vegas Childhood
In addition to performing the storytelling action I act in and direct theater plays, am a member of a local playback theater group, am the volunteer manager of The Midnight Sun Performance Space in downtown Olympia, and I bartend at The Brotherhood Lounge - so that I can pay the rent when the story gigs are running dry, know what I mean?
I have a new website: www.professionaltalker.com
Who I'd like to meet: Folks who perform, and folks who want me to perform. Folks who are creative and make things up as they go along.
Someone or some group to help me perform outside of Olympia. Folks who live in other towns who think they might be able to help me find a venue in which I could perform.
Happy Birthday Miss Elizabeth. I hope your party was fun. I'll show and tell you later...Wink wink.. Thursday night I will bring you gifts and kisses..until then...
Bad friend I am. It was one of those days where I told myself don't forget to call and look what happened. Sorry about that my pretty pink girl. I hope you had a Fantastic day and I'm so sorry to disappoint. I will pick you up something really nice when I go back to Ireland in two weeks.
Love you girl and Happy Belated B-Day!!!!!
Jesus Loves you and I hope he still loves me after this forgetfulness.
