Baeg Tobar: Short Story Released!

I missed my Friday post this week (I'd thought to do an excerpt from some philosopher or other) because I was at an excellent play in New York. Hide and Seek by young playwright Richard Vaden made its Manhattan premiere this week. I first saw it at the Berkshire Fringe Festival last summer, and the current production is even better -- it feels more like a whole piece. (That said, everything I appreciated about the show the first time was still there -- both humor value and deep, thought provoking moments, so the changes only enhanced what I'd really found compelling before.) At any rate, it was a trip well spent.

But on to my very quick announcement before I head to bed. My first Baeg Tobar short story, "No Matter How You Hide Her," has posted! You can find it here, with a little bit of commentary from me in the forums here.

I hope you'll check it out!

I'm jealous of you getting to see it! I missed it when Rich did it during his senior year, because that was the semester I was away, and I haven't been around for the other times. Noah Appelbaum--who I roomed with for two years at the Rock and who's moving in with me and Kat in a couple of weeks--was in it.

I'm sorry you missed it *again*! It was really good -- Noah did an awesome job (as did the rest of the cast).

Awesome

Wow, very cool story! And, I didn't think Baeg Tobar was around anymore. I guess I should look up every once in a while. :P
