As usual, the last to know..

Can someone please help me understand Twitter?
What is that?
Why do I need to 'follow' you on it?
Seriously - two of my favorite blogs now have this column with shorthand updates and I just don't quite know what's happening..

If I follow you on Twitter, will I be able to get back?
Will I know how to read shorthand?

?

Chicago

Andrew documents our trip to Chicago here.

The play we saw Friday night was Sweet Confinement, written by our own ferocious playwright Anna Carini. She's also a fantastic actress with a super-hot headshot.
We were all moved - I was totally destroyed by the whole thing(raw,painful, honest, unflinching, with just the right infusion of dark humor. Frighteningly real.), and I am IMMENSELY impressed with and proud of her. Seriously. Drive to Chicago immediately(well, wait till Friday - weekend showings all month)..

Saturday after finishing the audio work we needed, Levi enlisted our film crew to prank his friend Katie(?) who was visiting from Michigan(!) and *definitely* did *not* want to be in Levi's reality TV show "Livin' La Vida Levi"(a fictional story he had been keeping up with her over the phone, which she mostly knew was a joke, but he's pretty crazy, so..). In order to honor her wishes, we typed up an image release, followed Levi to the pickup point on his white moped, and double-parked paparazzi-style out front. She came out, took one look at our cameras and made a beeline for cover.

At the end of it all, she was a very good sport. (lovely, too)

Chicago traffic was particularly heinous. We drove over 150 city miles in two days.
