Blog Busted ...

You may be asking why all my 'hilarious' posts about the show I wrote have mysteriously disappeared? Well, friends, it seems I've been Blog Busted! Yes, that's right, Blog Busted.

Let me explain ...

The producer of the 'show that shall remain nameless from now on and forever more' googled the play's title in conjuction with the 'name of the theatre not to be listed in any way, shape, or form in this post' and landed on my blog. I know it wasn't the first hit but I do know that it appeared rather high on the list. The producer is a VERY nice guy and, instead of strangling me for being rediculously unprofessional and unbelievably unkind as he should have done, he dropped me a politely worded e-mail requesting that I "tone down the negative tone in my writing until after the show is over." My first response was "How is this possible? The world wide web is supposed to be HUGE. It is WORLD WIDE, after all, isn't it? And this show was written in 400 BC so there must be thousands of productions floating in the virtual abyss, right? Right?!?!?! Damn google." Secondly, I was mortified. I wrote him back immediately to let him know that I erased all the posts and to extend a heartfelt appology. I wasn't so much embarassed that I was 'caught in the act' of dissing my show (although this certainly isn't the classiest thing I have done). It was more a question of being embarassed that I, a Christian, used a public forum like the internet to slander other people in an effort to make myself look better ... to save face ... without even really recognizing that it was wrong. I adopted a posture of all-out-attack and went for the kill - infront of everyone! Yikes. Dissapointing. Well, all I can do it try to make it right.

I humbly appologize to everyone involved in the 'show that shall remain nameless from now on and forever more.'

I believe this whole incident is rather timely as, after a good chunck of positive feedback on my blog, I had just spent the weekend praising myself for being hilarious and popular ... captain pride, pride-o-rama, pride-er-if ic was I. I'm pretty sure the Big Guy was putting me in my place. Mission accomplished. It's funny 'cause apparently a few of my blog friends, like LtK, Jamie, and /dr., were all planning on telling me to scale down the proper names and places ... well, my darling friends, TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! :) Anyway, rest assured, I'm on it and won't make the same mistake again.
