Thanks to all my steady readers and linkers -- Sitemeter tells me you've been visiting!

It took awhile, but I finally published a chronicle of the Great Salt Lake Mime Troupe, which includes glimpses of the scene in which we worked in the early to late 70's. My goal was to have it done before the Holidays, and I did it -- but the people involved have been busy with seasonal responsibilities, so I'm just going to have to wait for the feedback to really begin.
Check out the Handy Table of Contents.

Due to several requests, I've also created a team blog, open to all participants in the Great SL Mime Troupe, and our fellow-travelers.
