travels

I'm sitting in the San Francisco airport waiting to catch a flight - which is, sadly, delayed - but the good news is that the delay gives me a little extra time to post about why I'm here...

I came up to the Bay Area a few days ago to speak to students (writers, directors, actors, etc) at the Academy of Art College with Megan Cavanagh. We sat on a stage in a theater that was filled almost to capacity (wow!!!) and we answered questions from the moderator - and then from the students - for over two hours! We covered everything from how Megan got into voiceover work to how "Exes & Ohs" came to be to what would be our dream roles as actors. We both had a great time and everyone at the Academy of Art was incredibly kind to us... Hopefully the students got as much out of the evening as we did - and hopefully we'll get to come back again sometime. If anyone from the Academy of Art reads this: Thank you. :-)

So now I'm headed back to LA LA land to get ready for a couple of upcoming trips... Next weekend is the Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs, then I'm headed to Ft. Lauderdale for their pride event. Woo hoo! But don't expect me to "woo hoo" audibly anytime soon... I have no idea what happened, but my voice slowly started to crackle and squeak into silence yesterday and it's completely gone today. And when I say completely gone, I mean completely gone. As in all I can do is whisper, gone. So if any of you see me at the Dinah and say hi to me and all I offer is a polite smile and wave in return, don't take it personally... it's not that I'm refusing to speak to you - it's that my voice is still refusing to speak.

Of course, if the folks at the Dinah don't provide me with ample vanilla creamer, green M&Ms, and an Evian water chilled to 63.7 degrees, then I very well MAY refuse to speak!!!

Just kidding. ;-)

That's it from here... stay tuned for more updates. I'll bring my laptop to the Dinah with me and will try to do some posts from there. Who knows, maybe I'll even be able to upload some photos!

XO update

The title doesn't actually mean that I have new news to report (believe me, when I do, you won't be able to miss it - I'll be really annoying and put it in all caps with lots of excited exclamation marks)! :-)

But since a lot of you have been asking about the show, I wanted to give you an update with the information I have so far:


SEASON 2?
No announcements have been made about a season 2 yet, but we all have our fingers crossed that we'll get to bring you more adventures of Jen and the gang. We'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to come back to Logo and Showcase - and any other channel in the world!!!


DVD
The rumors are true: The "Exes & Ohs" season 1 DVD will be released on May 20. Hooray! And a little birdie told me there will be some really cool DVD extras, too...

I'll have more info about availability in the U.S., Canada, and around the world as May gets closer - but in the meantime, feel free to write to Logo to let them know where you are and that you want the DVD! I know that it may seem like the networks are so big and can one email actually make a difference... but believe me, they read your emails - and they listen.


WHERE YOU CAN WATCH
If you've missed any episodes - or just want to see your favorites again - you can catch us on Showcase every Thursday at 9:30pm EST (yay, Canada!). For episode information, check out the "Exes & Ohs" Showcase site.

We're not currently airing on Logo, but all the digisodes, interviews, and behind-the-scenes goodies are still available on Logo online. If you haven't seen them yet, definitely check them out! Megan and Angie (aka Chris and Kris) bowling is something not to be missed... :-)


MEET THE CAST
I mentioned in my previous post that I'll be at the Dinah Shore Weekend in a few weeks... but what I forgot to add is that some of my fellow cast-mates will be there, too! It'll be a lot of fun. We'll be doing a bunch of stuff with Logo and AfterEllen, most of which is still top-secret. So if you're there, be sure to stop by and say hello.


That's about it for now... but please keep checking back here for updates and ramblings. Until then, have a great week, everyone!
