The Rent Welcome Wagon — Page 343

i had a blowout as i was driving down my street going around a corner. well, i over steeres to avoid the corner - then all hell broke loose. i almopst hit this guys mailbox, but i avoided it (yeah, me!)

anyway, i finally gained control of the car and stopped, at the stop sign. this lady i know lives there (always walked her dog by the bus stop). She is a retired policewoman so she came out to help me. Anyway, the guy next door to her (whose mailbox i avoided) started yelling "he's high! he shouldn't be on the road! etc" (i was on the way to get a haircut.)

So two police cars come from both directions. then the lady explained that the guy is crazy and that she is a retired police officer.

brain....hurts....gah....


adam, i was rereading the early pages of this thread at like 4am, and i wondered what ever happenned to you.

Fredi, I'm in Ohio.

Ok, guys. I have this application for a creative writing camp and I need to submit something. Anyone got a prompt for me? I can't find a good book of them. I need to turn in ten pages or less... gonna be hard, I usually write more than ten.

nia, i feel your pain. my statement of purpose for northwestern has to be 5000 characters or less.

CHARACTERS. To define my purpose, and basically outline my research goals for the rest of my life....AAGH

i wouldn't sweat it glory...

i'm surrounded by "hoop heads" who relate everything to basketball!

hey adam!!!

---

My favorite pair of shoes were my blue suede Doc Martens. Alas, they are no more.
And I suppose 'hoop heads' are better than 'spaghetti hoop heads' - those people are just plain weird.
Anyway, see you guys tomorrow maybe...g'night!

that's why good musicals can be better than good plays

currently, my show isn't going well. I can write the "book" just not the music...

gnite ellie - and when you get a chance do explain what a "spaghetti hoop head" is....

nia - when you say prompt ideas - what do you mean?

bso - maybe you need a composer partner...?

---

Sorry, should've been more specific. Prompt needs to result in ten pages or less of fiction. There are no other guidelines.

wow ntg - you've been reading back...


DOOR/WALL was a short song that was really Mark and Roger angst over thier greatest enemies (or obstacles...)

Roger - the door (he can't leave...)

Mark - the wall (like a blank page - no footage to show...)

it was sorta "artsy" and didn't really help drive the plot but i always liked it melodically (and metophorically) and I belive it could work better in the film than it did in the show...

---

I like the sound of Door/Wall... strenghtens the character's motivations. If they needed to add something for time or to re-emphasize Mark and Roger's purposes, it would've been good.

Thank you!

I *love* Open Road. (Yes, I've heard NYTW...I got overly curious.) I think it's a gorgeous melody and it definitely stuck with me after I heard it. That I think could definitely work in the movie if they want to show Roger's journey.

(Plus I really want to hear Adam sing it...)

---

actually, i need a bunch of composers to add different sounds (because there are different shows in my one show) - that'll add to the cleverness of it....
