This is one of those entries where I share with you something near and dear to my geeky heart, but obscure, even by geek standards.

I just found this absolutely brilliant site:

It’s a blog that focuses on horror of the 1970s–specifically, the pulp paperbacks, comic books, and occasionally, films of the “horror boom” of the early-to-mid seventies. You know: pulpy paperback series, Marvel’s Tomb of Dracula, Hammer Films, fumetti (Italian adult comics), gonzo euro-horror films, etc.

He’s currently doing an entire month focused on Dracula stuff, so the blog has been briefly re-titled “The Groovy Age of Dracula.”

Needless to say, I LOVE this stuff….and the site is a real treasure-trove of information. It’s only been running since January, so check out the archives.

Hell, yeah….

Looks like we’re being asked to audition again, this time with the whole show, because, apparently, the first 10 minutes didn’t give the audition panel “a clear enough idea of what they’re getting.”

Included were notes like: “Didn’t understand why the women were dressed as men, and were pretending to be men.”

No, I’m not kidding.

The audition panel for one of the largest RenFests in the country didn’t understand that women were not allowed on the Elizabethan stage….despite the fact that this was the subject of an Oscar-winning movie, and, even assuming that they had never seen “Shakespeare in Love”….WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT DURING OUR INTRO.

Not sure if we’re going to bother, actually—waiting to hear feedback from my fellow performers.
