Back from Montreal

thehefnerI'm more than a little disappointed that the events depicted in the top strip didn't happen.
The strip on the bottom has nothing to do with anything, it's just included in the image for the enjoyment of all. A bit of Kate Beaton makes everything better.
I have returned from Montreal (and their Fringe Festival) with a sore throat, speeding ticket (from upstate New York), and a bruised ego. But--like the showtune goes--alive! But alive! But al-iiiiiiive!!!
Major love and thanks to the Montreal Chapter of John Hefner's GIRLFRIENDS IN CANADA:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bagelofdeath*, beckara, bimmin, viizou, and newly-acquired ladyfriend terheyt. ;)
But most of all, extra super special love and thanks to the great, the wonderful, the mightylittle_dinosaur, who was able to house me for two weeks at her family's place, for which I'm still incredibly grateful and humbled.
Right! My To-Do list, much of which will be accomplished in hermitage at the Rehoboth Beach house:
1.) Plot out revisions for HEFNER MONOLOGUES in preparation for the madness that will be Winnipeg Fringe
2.) Not freak out and worry about Winnipeg Fringe
3.) Finally get working on the major overhaul revisions of the second half of DENT
4.) Waffle as to whether or not to buy the new iPhone
5.) Totally buy the new iPhone holy crap I'm such a tool
6.) Not die from the Fringe-stress-induced plague under which I'm now suffering
7.) Possibly write about my Montreal Fringe experience, if I can do it without angsting too much and manage to maintain perspective and humor OH GOD WHY WHY
8.) Oh fuck get on that Canadian tax bullshit that they sprung on me at the last minute.
And of course, there's the always-applicable task Number 9, Number 9, Number 9: "sleep." Which I shall attempt to get to right now. HA HA YEAH RIGHT.
Oh, and also hang out with people and have a social life. Maybe.
*I hope you realize, dear lady, that leaving today was not an entirely easy decision. You made it all exceedingly tempting. We need to figure out some way to logistically hang out and make up for the misspent time in Montreal. I'm not sure I'm up for the Montreal drive again, but hey, if you ever wanna make a long weekend of NYC or something, that might be worth considering...

BUY THE iPHONE
Date: 2009-06-24 12:59 pm (UTC)I might be heading to New York in August, but I don't know. I think the family is planning a trip because we're so awesome, but if the parents decide it's during WorldCon or Fan Expo, then I will not be joining them. I would tell you to come to Fan Expo, but that would be an even longer drive. On the plus side, sometime before June 2nd of next year, Rebecca and I are OBLIGATED to fly somewhere. So we figure we'll be going to SOME Con with that, so we'll see if we can plan.
On plus side, HEY HEY my bodysuit was finished last night! And the boots will be almost done by Thursday evening. IT IS ALL COMING TOGETHER. Which is probably why I've been feeling like a fatty lately. It's so intimidating.
Anyway anyway, it's ALWAYS good to see you and if you should ever come back for Fringe (YES I SAID IT) or Just For Laughs, then there's gotta be some promotional gameplan I can help with now that I've seen the show.
Also, it's a day off today,a s you know, so I might shave down Harvey's hair if I have a minute. I have a feeling that's going to be the most annoying aspect of this figure.

Date: 2009-06-24 04:47 pm (UTC)Ehh, August will be tough for me anyway. I'll have henchgirl/writing partner
Whooooooooo wants a bus trip to Winnipeg in a couple weeks???
For future reference (and assuming I'm even in the area), Baltimore Comic Con is an hour away from me, and is relatively major. At least, major enough that DC and Marvel do majorish announcements there that get carried off on the comic news sites. And Robert Kirkman sometimes picks a fight with Bendis (and wins!).

I dunno if I'll be back in time next year (I'm considering spending a month or so in San Francisco, training at a renowned school for stand-up comedy), but eh, we'll see!
OH AWESOME!!! Yay! Cannot wait to see the final pics!!! (Fatty? Girl, please)
Thank you! Indeed, it's ALWAYS good to see you too! Don't worry, I haven't been scared off of Montreal just yet! If anything, the experience there further inspired and galvanized plans for a new show that I've been thinking about for the past month, one which I think the Montrealers will respond to better.
My current theory as to why so many people weren't attracted to my show in the first place--much less responded to it at all--is because Montreal doesn't quite have the culture of arms-flailing neurotic introspection that, say, NYC does!
Yeah, I imagined the hair would be the hardest part! But still, yay day off! I'll be around a bit online, so hey, if you wanna do an e-party, I'm down with it! We can lounge around via long-distance!
