Hello there faithful F&SS readers. My name is mike and I’m addressing you directly in an effort to shamelessly promote the production of a play I wrote called The Architect of Destiny. Originally produced in Los Angeles in the Fall of 2004, the play is being given its NYC premiere beginning on June 1st, 2006 in the West Village of Manhattan.
So, if you’ve liked some of the writing on this site (i.e. dark and disturbing comedy that makes you both wet your pants and think) you might also enjoy The Architect of Destiny. If you’ve hated every word printed on F&SS, you might enjoy heckling me in public.
This is fine, provided you pay the price of admission beforehand ($15). Additionally, please notify us of any planned assassination attempt no less than three business days in advance of said attempt.
Okay, so, please come and see The Architect of Destiny, assuming it’s convenient for you. You can click here (Theater Mania) for ticket, production or cast information or go to the production company’s Web site (Inch Mile).
Finally, as a special bonus for F&SS readers, I’ve included a bit of sample dialogue so you have some idea of what you’re in for.
Thank you for your attention.

I had a nightmare the other night. I was at a blogger’s convention at the Jacob Javits Center. And while suddenly finding myself adrift amongst a sea of self-important, techno-hipster shut-ins – all simultaneously holding the belief that you and I should devote our Saturday nights to reading their stream of consciousness thoughts off a computer screen to be self-evident – would normally have far exceeded the minimum requirement for me to awake screaming and sweat drenched, the worst was yet to come. For, from within this sea of faceless self-promoters, materialized some of Fork & Salt Shaker’s most devoted readers.
What ensued was a guilt trip of epic proportions. Questions were posed:
“What happened to F&SS?â€
“Are you guys retired?â€
“Have you given up?â€
“You disgust me!†Well, that one wasn’t a question.
“Etc., etc., etc.†That probably shouldn’t be in quotes…
