thanks Dave, thanks Chris. sorry i didn\'t ask you for a written copy because i\'m....... lazy....... when it comes to reading but i look forward to listening to the recording.

No problem Todd. And just so people know, I cut two brief passages of dialogue (from "chicken dinner again" to "and every time you hammer down at least five pieces" and from "t\'sup bub?" to "must be the next door over. I\'ll go knock.") to try to get down to the 15 minutes we were supposed to limit ourselves to. I also did not read the part about Tic-Tac\'s, which I actually added after I submitted it and was not part of the story the judge graded me on. I\'m unsure if I\'m gonna keep that section when I seek publication over the summer.

Had I known two other people would eclipse the 20-minute mark, I would never have cut, and believe me, I\'ll never do it again. But I\'m not complaining. I wouldn\'t trade the performance for anything.

For the record, I timed out at 17:10.

Thank you for posting this Cori! Kevin and I cannot wait to perform the piece, which we originally did for my theatre class last year. We hope to see a solid turnout of our peeps. There will be several talented writers reading at Southern that night.

I\'d also like to congratulate Cori for having her fictional piece "Merry Freakin\' Christmas" earn publication in Folio. It\'s very funny and was a well-deserved acceptance.

That\'s wonderful. I am so happy to have such smart, talented friends.

Well, I figured this was time for a little bump-a-rooski.

So, Kevin Ross and I are still performing our one-act play, The Perfect Schedule or Chris Piccirillo Isn\'t Even Trying Yet, as part of the release party for Folio, S.C.S.U.\'s annual literary anthology, this Friday at 7 p.m. on the third floor of the Adanti Student Center, which is located on the corner of Fitch and Crescent Street in New Haven. Whereas the event was originally going to be in the Grand Ballroom, it will now be in the Fireplace Lounge, which is the area that you will see as soon as you get to the third floor.

Kevin and I are going first, and although these events typically start at around 7:15, anyone who wants to see the two of us should plan on getting there a few minutes before 7 just to be safe. After us, the winners of Folio\'s poetry and fiction contests will be reading, which I expect to be some fine material, considering the authors.

Anyway, for those who don\'t know how to get to Southern, here\'s some directions:

get onto dixwell and take a right onto arch street if youre going towards new haven or a left onto arch street if youre coming from new haven. you then take a slight left onto fitch st. and continue until you have to take a left onto crescent. you will see the student center on your left at this point, and after you take that left onto crescent, you take a quick left into the parking lot for the student center. walk into the building and go up the stairs to the third floor.

just in case, here\'s a link for a map of southern: http://www.southernct.edu/aboutscsu/map/

and also just in case, the official address for southern is 501 crescent street, 06515.

We\'ve been rehearsing. We hope to see some of you there.

Chris

well done, pitchie!

congrats on all you efforts.

Just want to take this time to thank Ken--of Breakfast videography lore--for being so kind as to tape Friday\'s performance, as well as Dave for agreeing to take some photos. Word.
