“Should I send a St. Bernard with a drum of brandy after you?” a friend e-mailed this morning, gently reminding me I had seemingly fallen off the planet once again. For the record, though all is quite well, dogs bearing booze are ALWAYS welcome in our household. Anyway, here’s the Deviant latest to shed some light on our frequent disappearing acts of late… Read the rest of this entry »

Goodbye Death, Hello New Mexico!
Posted in Diary of a Directrix, News, On the Fest CircuitMarch 2nd, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Congrats, to our DOLORES team – our world premiere was a grand success – we actually got cheered! I returned last week to 2 major writing deadlines and a brand spanking new semester in which I’m teaching 3(!) classes – yipes – and now I’m off to New Mexico for what I suspect might be DEATH IN CHARGE’s grand finale this weekend (with well over 100 fests now – not a bad run). I hope to finally catch up on the latest Deviant adventures upon my return – lots to tell. For Deviants in Indiana – - both DEATH and trippin’ are screening in Warsaw this coming weekend - we’ll be Skyping in for our Q&A – hope to virtually see you there!

I’ve emerged from an intensive writing sanctuary just in time. The fests are beckoning once more. I wonder if this is what it feels like to be a parent - little time for a personal life, but our children are keeping the long hours of work mighty interesting. Regardless, it looks like we’ve got 2 exciting months ahead… Read the rest of this entry »

This is London Trippin’
January 22nd, 2011 by Spider
It was a particularly hot summer of Zero Nine. I’d spent the beginning of the year in the studio with Ratbags recording our debut album, which was planned to carry a title inspired by the public transport of London: “Sorry, Out of Service“. Devi had already fallen in with a rough mix of Walking Dead, which was among the first patch of songs to be recorded and Charlie Harper from the UK Subs had heard a song off the album, which he had described as “Great stuff!”. So we were on our way… if it would not have been for the endless arguments over the mixing of the album and the various versions of the songs. Walking Dead ended up in Trippin’ and on one of the trailers as well, while rest of the album would be locked away in the vaults. Read the rest of this entry »
