On behalf of @gedaly and my friends at Blipsy Barcade, I want to thank everyone who came out to #LAThtr's first tweetup! I had a blast talking strategy, hearing about everyone's work, and meeting so many cool people who are working selflessly and tirelessly to bring out theatre community closer together. Good. Times.
Here's the list of people who signed the sign-in sheet; if anyone was left out please leave a comment so that I can add you to the list!
Now be like @catnick and start stalking...I mean, following :)

Despite this week's dreary weather, I'm feeling elated to be getting my latest writing endeavor underway - my partnership with Bitter-Lemons.com writing the monthly 'Theatre for a Cause' column. Now re-named The Advok@ (forgive me, it was National Cheese Week when I pitched the name), the idea began when BL founders Enci Box and Colin Mitchell were soliciting theatre submissions. I saw their post and considered nominating Laughter for a Change when I realized that I really just wanted to be the one writing the column. We met for coffee, came up with a game plan, and that evening I selected Cornerstone Theater, a company I'd been admiring from afar since my Ohio-theatre days, as our first profile.
I'm very hopeful my conversations with LA theatre artists will help strengthen the community as a whole, and am tickled to be getting back to my actorvist roots working with the BL crew. The way I see it, anyone can read a theatre company's press release - it takes more time to really education and familiarize oneself with the work, methodology, and intention of a particular artist. I've already learned so much, and owe a great debt of gratitude to Ramy Eletreby, Communications Manager for Cornerstone Theater.
Please take a moment and read the links below! I would love any feedback and suggestions for the future:
