Lovely people far and wide are convening in Portland, Oregon’s Peninsula Park today for a WonkMeet! There’s even a Build Your Own Bloody Mary bar. The shenanigans run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Alas, I work Sundays, but maybe folks can drop photos of the festivities in the comments during this week’s live chat. That’s sort of how I experienced my high school prom.
In other news, Down the Rabbit Hole, https://www.cafenordo.com/down-the-rabbit-hole-2022″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>the play I co-wrote for Seattle’s Cafe Nordo, has played long enough to have cast changes: Force of nature Justine Yu-Ping Davis, who originated the role of the Mad Hatter, has left the show (you can currently see her in https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/theater/in-black-coffee-at-seattles-taproot-theatre-hercule-poirot-takes-center-stage/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Taproot Theatre’s Black Coffee). However, the brilliant Jacquelyn Miedema now wears the Carrollian hat of madness and is an utter delight. The entire cast is a writer’s gift.
We still live in Pandemic Times, and our fearsome Queen of Hearts Kate Kraay fell ill the same day as President Joe Biden (no connection, though). However, Cafe Nordo’s chef, co-artistic director, and show director Erin Brindley assumed the throne this weekend and ensured that the show will go on. Red suits her.https://www.cafenordo.com/down-the-rabbit-hole-2022″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>
Today’s live chat fun starts at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET/2 p.m. Robyn time (yes, she’s back in Chicago). Don’t forget to like, share, subscribe, etc.
