Oh, HI GUYS!

This is what's been consuming my soul since December, my next show!

Heading to Oregon for my yearly visit. Have to get up obscenely early tomorrow to catch a flight. I'll be back in the DC area on the 26th.

Happy holidays all!

So much for that two-week wait! The web series I shot went live today!

The Washington Post has started doing dramatic interpretations of celebrity Twitters, and I got called in to do an episode!

Enjoy!

Twits!

I just competed a project that I am incredibly proud of.

The problem? I can't tell you about it for another two weeks or so. Consider this a big 'ol tease.

And six weeks later......done.

The show was a big success. Here are both the reviews we got. And no, I'm not leaving out any bad reviews. We didn't get any!

Beyond the show, I haven't been on much because my beloved laptop has been dying a slow painful death. It's literally been hot to the touch lately so I've been...

Hey, I'm so busy wrapped up with my current project that I'm having trouble finding the time to update this blog. Even more than usual!

So, if you want to keep track of what I'm doing, you should check out the brand new blog of my theater company, The Washington Rogues.

Next up, I need a couple of designers.

I am so very busy, and the real work hasn't even begun!

Ye gods, time she flies.

I know, I know, I KEEP SAYING THAT in these now rare posts. I am around, I just have near as much time for SG browsing as I used to!

What's going on in my life? My company is about to announce our next show for this year's Fringe festival. It's a world premiere and I am very excited about...

It was my great honor to attend part of the inauguration of Barack Obama today.

It was even worth the six hours spent in line. And the cold. And the pushing and shoving.

We made it to the parade rout just in time to see our new President walk by, not 10 feet in front of us. I even had a perfect photo lined up...

So I just very nearly had a heart attack.

Having just finished watching the INCREDIBLE season premiere of Battlestar Galactica, my girlfriend and I were preparing to go do some shopping. The phone rings. My mother's number is on the screen.

"Hello."

"Ryan! Oh my God! Have you heard the news?!", my mother yells into the phone.

"What?!", I exclaim, preparing myself for the worst....

GOOD GOD. Where did the time go?

Anyway, last night was one of the craziest nights of my life. I was just finishing dinner with my girlfriend in Mount Pleasant when we heard the loudest cheer of the night. I look at the TV and it flashed up that Obama had clinched the election. We grabbed the champagne bottle and ran down to the street....
