So Patrick and Christina are about to go to LA, the lucky ducks.
They leave tonight to present our Whatifesto at the Theatre Communications Group National Conference.
I am jealous. But: I’m going to LONDON! Where I’ll definitely see some awesome theatre of my own.
And I’ll be able [...]

An email came for us all yesterday. Here’s how it starts.
Dear Christina,
I want to thank you and the 17 others you worked with for submitting a “Whatifesto” for the TCG National Conference.  I’m pleased to inform you that your Whatifesto has been selected to be presented.  I’ve curr [...]

Got the TCG Whatifesto submission in — with about 20 minutes left in the deadline day. The 500 words inspired by and edited out of the 15,000-word document from Sunday are under the cut.
From where I’m sitting, the hardest part of this project was the editing. Not necessarily the most ti [...]

Sunday morning was exhilarating.
I felt overwhelmed by the amount of creative energy flowing digitally, but don’t get me wrong – I loved that. I just had to find a way to embrace it. That was the interesting part.

Your mom called. She said you have to do this, or no Glee for the next month. I wouldn’t mess around…

We’ve put together a document that explains more thoroughly:

What our Whatifesto co-creation project on Sunday, March 13, 2011 is about
How you can participate
How it’ll be [...]

When: Sunday, March 13, 2011
Time: 1pm New York City / 7pm Berlin / corresponding time wherever you are!
Where: Online, at this Google doc (to be made publicly editable at go-time)
What: For this year’s TCG conference (June 16–18, in Los Angeles), TCG requests proposals for “Whatifestos” [...]

We’re getting a new project off the ground (quick, dirty and ugly) and in doing some research today for how we can document it, I learned something new! — the word for screenshots-as-movie: screencasting. Here are programs I found that can do it.

Cool because you don’t need to dow [...]
