The Lilly Awards
I am not a person who likes being on a stage. In groups of more than 2 people, I attempt to become one with the back row. (OK, maybe 10 people. Being in a TV writers’ room has trained me for the better.) But the Lillys are an amazing celebration of women in theatre, of women creating networks of advocacy and support, of allies who show up to do the same. And if you’re going to fly back for an evening in NYC, the best company for that evening would be a room of playwright ladies like Marsha Norman, Julia Jordan, Sarah Ruhl, Jocelyn Bioh, and many many others.
The ladies of New Georges took this picture, because as producers they are full of forethought and quick on their feet: 
This is the only other picture I have from the night, because Jessica Chase whisper-yelled to me & Jocelyn: “Take a selfie!!” Jess is also full of forethought. God bless the producers of the world. 
First Prize for my interpretation of the role of Jen Silverman! 
Just kidding, it’s the Stacey Mindich Go Write A Play commission. Best mandate ever.

Good things happen when you leave your computer and go look at the things other people have made. 
For example, you run into theatre people you haven’t seen in ages. The last time I saw A.P., we were in New York. The last time I saw Evan, we were in the mountains of Idaho. 
All roads lead to Los Feliz?
Lady Mountain Climbers
To celebrate the end of pub week, we hiked up to the Wisdom Tree. This is not a metaphor.
Field Trip
…in which the TALES room (+ significant others) takes in a drag show. 
Some of us occasionally forget where the camera is (me and Hansol)…and the rest of us were born for Blue Steel.
The Island Dwellers // Pub Day
Thank you to Allison Hunter and the crew at Janklow Nesbit, Caitlin McKenna and the crew at Random House, all of the beautiful people who celebrate, buy, and love books – and my friends, who made pub day a total delight with their texts, emails, and book-selfies.
