Hello, everyone ! I don't know how many of you folks remember me, but I'm a WP fan from way back when. You'll probably find posts from me in the early pages of this forum.

I'll have to say that I found this link really bizarre and mildly disturbing. For one thing, do we know that the Will P in this woman's writing is WP ? If so, how do people know for sure ?

As fans of WP we know that he's a very private man and such is protective of that privacy. Which is why I find Allie's blog just plan weird.

If this woman had/does have some sort of intimate relationship with WP, then she should know how guarded he is about his privacy. As a result, having her blog about them would certainly piss him off.

Thus if you want to be on good terms with a man you're in love with, why piss him off by posting your thoughts about him on a very public forum.

Something just doesn't seem right. Can I say that I think the woman is delusional ? Just my own personal opinion after reading her blog.

As for meeting WP, well... he is currently in a Denis Johnson production there. For those that are interested. Here's a posting.

Will Patton Stars in 'Des Moines' Free Readings at The Flea

Tuesday, February 5, 2008; Posted: 11:54 AM - by BWW News Desk

Evenstar Films (Jesus' Son) will present free staged readings of Des Moines, a new play by acclaimed author Denis Johnson, winner of the 2007 National Book Award for Tree of Smoke. Directed by Will Patton, it will be presented for five performances beginning February 26 at The Flea Theater.

"In a seedy apartment on the edge of Des Moines, an unlikely assortment of people come together for an impromptu party that takes them, by the evening's end, on a dam bursting ride down a stream-of-consciousness deluge. Downing depth chargers and singing karaoke, they struggle with the strange and unholy trinity of life, death, and sex," explain press notes.

The cast for Des Moines will include LaTonya Borsay, Emily McDonnell, Deirdre O'Connell, and Will Patton.

Denis Johnson is the author of several novels and three books of verse. Since 2001, he has served as Playwright-in-Residence for San Francisco's Campo Santo Theater Company, who have premiered six of his plays including Des Moines. His plays have received San Francisco's Will Glickman Award and a Bay Area Drama Critics' Circle Award, and have seen additional productions in Chicago, Seattle, and New York.

Will Patton has worked extensively in the theatre and in film. Most recently, he starred opposite Angelina Jolie in Michael Winterbottom's A Mighty Heart. He is currently filming roles in American Inquisition with Alfre Woodard, Waking Madison with Elizabeth Shue and The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond by Tennessee Williams. Winner of an Audie Award for Best Male Narrator, Will has recorded over forty-five audio books. Will played the leading role in Sam Shepard's A Lie Of The Mind and his performances in Richard Foreman's What Did He See and Mr. Shepard's Fool For Love earned him two Obie Awards. He starred in the world premiere of Don DeLillo's play, Valparaiso at the ART in Boston and he was also seen in Denis Johnson's Shoppers Carried By Escalators Into The Flames at The Vineyard Theatre.

Des Moines runs February 26 - March 1, Tuesday - Saturday at 9pm. The Flea Theater, is located at 41 White Street (between Broadway & Church Streets -- accessible from the A,C,E,N,R,Q,W,6,J,M,Z to Canal or 1 to Franklin Street). Tickets are free, but you must make a reservation in advance by calling 212-219-2020.

Hi, Sandi ! it's good to hear from you too.

Yes, that certainly was an odd blog. I really do wonder if this woman has any connection to WP or if it's all a big joke of some kind.

I haven't seen much of WP on TV except on Numb3rs. I do like that show. Part of me wishes the Lt Walker character ends up as a regular. Don't know if it will happen, but he is a popular guest star. So, I hope we see more of him.

Other than that, things have been quiet. Saying,"hi" to any other older timers still lurking around.

Christa ! Goodness, it is good to see some familiar names again. It's been a long time since the Agency, hasn't it ???

Congratulations on those writing awards. That must have been a thrill. A long time ago, I entered some short story writing contests, but I never won. oh well...

I picked up some of JLB older books on CD not too long ago. I downloaded one to my ipod. I'd forgotten what a wonderful speaking voice WP has. I'm surprized that he doesn't get more notice. Seems to me there are plenty of other authors who'd benefit from him reading their books.

I'd have loved to have heard WP reading anything by Cormac McCarthy. Can you imagine him reading No Country For Old Men ?

well... got to run... good to hear from you Sandi and Christa !
