As many have noticed, the blog has lain untouched for some weeks now. This is due to the fact that i am currently on a month long excursion through the southwest United States. I have finally wound up in San Francisco where i&#8217;m hunkered down for a bit, enjoying the beautiful Bay Area where i used to live and catching up with old and new friends.<\/p>\n<p>I should mention that there is a new performance of The Dolls Of New Albion happening in Feb in Oxford, England, the details of which i&#8217;ll be posting in the next few days. The blog is rollin back into production and we&#8217;ll have many thrills, spills and chills in store.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve even managed to get some of the lyrics for the Atompunk Opera written, although this wont really concern anyone for several months yet. I&#8217;m also still on my Visionquest for the 4th Act. Amongst my goals for this trip is to finally figure out a plot for the 4th Act. I know what will happen for the very last song, but between the end of the the 3rd Act that last song of the 4th Act is a gaping hole with a thousand different options. The 4th Act is the Grail of my journey and before journey&#8217;s end will present itself, even if i have to hunt it and catch it&#8217;s squacking neck with my murderous, bare hands. Sometimes solutions come to you, sometimes they must be seduced. Sometimes coaxed. Sometimes coaxed with a hammer and a morning star. And sometimes one must take a high powered rifle, a packful of bear traps and a handful of peyote into the desert, but this usually results in great injury, year long hexes and possible jailtime so&#8230; you know, if wine and your sexy voice will do it i recommend going that route first.<\/p>\n<p>In any case welcome back, to the Southwest Trails Episodes of the blog.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/steampunkopera.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140106-162432.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/steampunkopera.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/20140106-162432.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"20140106-162432.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hidee ho, all.
