Bizarre. The [play I am in right now](http://www.bonbock.com/deep.htm) just beat out some 300 shows to win “Best Overall Production” for the year from an off-broadway review website. They are going to throw a party and give us all free booze and then we get little plaques. I’ve gotten baseball trophies, bowling trophies, tennis trophies, soccer trophies, but I’ve never gotten one for acting (I do, however, have a friend who went to a high school where they gave the kids varsity letter jackets for theater!). Cool beans. It’s strange because the play is REAL fucked up. I mean it’s disturbing, disgusting, and actually meant to make the audience uncomfortable. Go figure. Got a [cool review](http://www.oobr.com/top/volNine/thirtyfour/0608deep.htm) too. Anyway, had to share, moving right along . . . DaLovin’ Dj ---

I don’t know, The Last and the Curios has a nice ring to it. “In a world where knick knacks are forgotten…and trinkets are never what they seem…” OK, I kinda ran out of steam. ---

Congratulations on the trophy! (Hah hah. I’ve got a varsity letter for theatre. Now if I only had a jacket…) ---
