This is the story I read for Serendipity Theatre Collective's 2nd Story. On Sunday, October 29, at Webster's Wine Bar.

Now the soundtrack in ...

LOST BLUEPRINT: Serious, slanted, fictional journalism. It's Very Important You Have an ID. Grammar and $9.99 shoes collide in this episode of "What Happened While Scoping the Heels at the Shoe Store.". The sign outside the shoe store is a long white banner with red lettering and it screams, "ALL SHOES $9.99." In all my travels through all the world, I have never seen a sign more welcoming than one that screams shoe sale. The women, for their part, do not seem particularly affected by this. They are ...

Oh, man, have I got scars. The scar on my middle finger? From a crash I had when I was a bike messenger and I plowed into the curb at Michigan and Monroe. In my defense, plowing into the curb was the best-case scenario at that moment. The one on my forehead? I met Brent at Rossi’s. Rossi’s home of the seriously alcoholic.
