Possible Panto Resurrection


We heard from Kelly Hogan (whose birthday it happens to be) that there is a good chance the panto - for which this "blog" is so hugely responsible... NOT! ha ha ha! I said one thing, then I said "NOT!" thereby invalidating my original statement - will be performed as part of the South By Southwest Festival. There is a stumbling block, and a tempting one it is. Ms. Hogan may have to forego her acclaimed panto role of Cap'n Skate to sing as the opening act for the legendary Lesley "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To" Gore in Chicago the very same night. As quandaries go, it is a pleasant one, though a doozy! (Pictured, the legendary Lesley Gore.)
