"The Songs of Johnny Go"
May. 5th, 2005 02:12 amSo for those of you who don't know, one of the things this college is famous for is the Sophie Kerr prize. Simply put, it's awarded to one graduating senior based on a portfolio of their creative writing. The submissions can include short stories, novellas, play scripts, essays, etc. The prize itself? Roughly around $60,000. The due date for the portfolio? Today at 2:00. Little less than 12 hours from now.
My portfolio includes an excerpt from my novel, an essay on the life of Gordon Craig, two play excerpts, and four short stories. I'm hard at work on the introduction right now (y'know, except for the whole "writing this LJ entry" part). I started to think about what title I wanted to include on it, since "Creative writing portfolio" is lame, as the cool kids (well, just Misty) would say. And then I remembered a comment Dave made in my LJ back in the day, and even though it was inspired by Kids in the Hall it was still one the greatest things he's ever said:
"Tell me John, of the place known as vegas, and the time when you were known not has heffy, but by another more colorful moniker, that of Johnny Go, and the times you spent with Old Blue Eyes, Dino and Sammy as you mastered ceremonies in that magical town long, long ago."
Someday, I should like to chronicle those adventures. They would fit right in with the road trip with Bub the Zombie. In the meantime, I now have a title for my portfolio. The Songs of Johnny Go.
Look out ol' Heffie is back.
