...not to take a few months off from "The City in Curtains" to concentrate on -- imagine! -- work that goes into print,

...to incite some people to comment on TCiC who are NOT the purveyors of porn or the peddlers of vacuum cleaner or spamsters of similar ilk,

...to put up a new entry every single work day. Actually, make that every other work day. Hopefully. Maybe.

...to get future theater critic Jeremy Henerson, almost 9, to sit through an entire evening performance of something without falling asleep,

...to tell anyone who unwraps a cough drop in earshot during a performance I'm attending how completely I think s/he sucks.

...to convince people that there is decent stage in L.A. and to tell them about it from time to time.

Enuf. Let's get to it.
