Dramaturgy was indeed discussed (hi, Wesley!), as was the necessity for production support, and what fun it is to go around with a parallel world percolating in your head.  And we did it all in the shadow of this shadow and several others, up on the walls like a line of all-star patron saints. [Artist: Mme. Anne of Pinwheel Bakery, Ferndale.] More shadows also came my way via Etapes (thanks, Mr. Hat!).
