Terry Pratchett Interview

This past September, world renowned fantasy writer Terry Pratchett was visiting the Bay Area while on tour promoting his newest book, Thud! Kristoph Klover of Flowinglass Music and I were thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with Terry here in the More Moose Music Studio and talk with him.

Terry-Pratchett-Interview, Part II


This is the first of what we hope will become a series of audio interviews. The interview will also be available as a podcast, initially from Podcast.net. Check back there over the next couple of days - it has to go through an approval process before being posted for download.

Terry proved to be an amenable, witty and voluble subject, which should come as no surprise to his fans. We were prepared for his arrival with a full menu of snacks, to which Terry responded: "I'm English - I can go for up to 20 minutes at a time without food". He did deign to accept a small banana daquiri, made by Tea Lady Donna Wagner.

Performance Schedule

August 1st, 2nd, 8th, and 9th: Kelly McCubbin’s Golden Hour of Radio - 8pm at The Exit Theater, San Francisco

That’s right – I’m starring (ok, matter of opinion) in a brilliant new play called Kelly McCubbin’s Golden Hour of Radio! (or: the Ukeapocalypse Radio Hour). I’ll be playing “beleaguered announcer” Murray, as well as Risk Management Specialist Endrin Smyzel. The cast is a tremendously talented group, some of whom you know already, the rest of which you should.

This original play, penned by local writers including Rey Zegri and Chad McComber (of Single Entendre fame),  features the hilarious misadventures of a dysfunctional contemporary radio theater company. The second half features an “On Air” performance of an original sci-fi radio script! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kiss 15 bucks goodbye!

Save the Dates Now! There will be 4 performances only!

August 1st, 2nd, 8th, and 9th! (For you laymen, that’s the first couple of Friday and Saturday nights in August.)

Where?

The Exit Theater
156 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA
Tickets $15 and $10

There might be cake! OK, there will be cake. We're bringing it.

Back in the Stone Age -- 15 years ago -- just after the monkeys stopped throwing things at obelisks, there arose out of the ground a great Celtic rock band, and barely to be heard over the chanting of the Druids, was the band name, "Avalon Rising." (As good a creation myth as any.) At one point, there were other people in the band. Now there are these people in the band. Go figure. Step with us --- into the future! Will there be flying cars? No, only us, just like we are today, only it'll be the 19th. Amazing! Astounding! Good thing there's going to be cake.

Come on down and join us in a toast to 15 years of Celtic rock!
