I was covered up with finals and research papers once I returned from the LEVIATHAN 99 performance earlier this month.

By the time school ended, it was time to pack up the family for Wonderfest (a show Ray would love) in Louisville, Ky. My apologies for posting my reflections so dreafully late

At any rate, I just posted my belated report on the spectactular, once-in-a-lifetime LEVIATHAN 99 performance (along with several photos) on the Classic Horror Film Board. Here's the link:

CART has also posted some fine photos and a full report here:

Special thanks (as always) to John King Tarpinian for his friendship and companionship. It was a grand afternoon!

The day after the reading, I had a chance to spend a couple of hours with Ray and get some work done on one of our book projects before I flew back to Muscle Shoals to begin inflicting end-of-the-semester pain and trauma on my literature and composition students at UNA.

I hope to be back on the West Coast for a week or so sometime this summer.

Thank you so much for the fine information and photos. What a grand event to attend. Was this production recorded otherwise by video or audio?

If so, is there a website or other location where such a recording (video and/or audio) be purchased?

Audio only, I hear tell. Don't know about availability as yet.

Cart Audio should have the CD available in a few more weeks. If you are lucky enough to have a NPR station that airs radio plays this should played soon.

Thanks John, as always, for the information. Unfortunately I do not listen to NPR as much as I should, so many great programs are there, including Prairie Home Companion Saturday nights with Garrison Keillor.

I feel so inadequate for asking this, but is there a schedule for the NPR programs that are on?

As they say, "check your local listings." Each NPR station has its own programming station. The one I listen to has radio plays Saturday nights at 10 p.m.

Terry,

The dust jacket looks as good as new...almost.

I downloaded it last night. I've only heard a minute or two so far, but it sounds good to me!
