Seattle Bound

thehefnerI have booked a flight for Seattle at the end of January. It won't be a long trip, just four days, so I'm hoping to make as much of them as possible. I'll be able to stay with my brother and his wife during that period.
There are three goals in this:
1.) Trying to find a gig to perform THE HEFNER MONOLOGUES for several performances. Additionally, my brother's mother-in-law is a filmmaker, so by planning out these performances, I can also plan out what will be needed to get a professional-quality recording of the show. Worst case scenario, I get a demo reel. Best case, I get a movie/things to put on YouTube. But I can't do this until I get the show polished even more. Work out those kinks, get the transitions up to speed, figure out what the hell is wrong with the first five-ten minutes, and what can be fixed.
I'm determined to make this work, in case you were wondering.
2.) To see Nicola again. She'll be in Port Townsend for the month at an internship at a poetry publishing house, but is very willing to drive over to see me. The next week, she'll be off to teach English in Chile for the next year or so. The lengths I'll go for my oldest crush.
3.) To eat west-coast salmon again and fresh-made donuts at the Pike Place Market. They're worth the plane ticket alone.
But now, I sleep. Between getting new registration and getting a new driver's license (my address is wrong, and besides, I still have the original "provisional" license) I have a looooooooooooong day at the MVA ahead of me.
