Update: Chicken Burger has a date!!! 2020 has been an “interesting” year.
When it comes to the arts, I’m just trying to roll with it and I’m super grateful
for everyone working out the complications so that we can keep sharing.

Oregon Contemporary Theatre’s NW10. NW10: Oh Boise! is spreading out
over the Tuesdays in August, with 2 plays with talkbacks per Tuesday on Zoom.

Out Now: Social Distance Stories – Staying at Home Edition 1 “The Plan”
I made a mini zine. You can view it at www.instagram.com/p/B-K6bj0pf_L/
and/or support an artist (me) by buying a print version at puffytailcat.bigcartel.com
It is no longer on my etsy page because drama, oh and and etsy prohibited me from selling it.
So, on one side of it artist–me is like, “WTF?” But on another side artist–me is like, “Really?
I just got in trouble for a zine about anxiety, reading too much online news, hand washing,
procrastination and my cat — does that mean I’m edgy?” So, just saying, I might still be edgy.
Out Now: “Covid–19 Ate My Plans.”
I made a little video to go on Instagram with my pandemic–related updates
(and creating things is a coping mechanism).
