Meant to post about last Wednesday's lover-ly evening of Poetry at Callanwolde.Kodac Harrison, in my opinion, the South's greatest songwriter-as-storyteller and poet man and guitarist, never fails to please.I was delighted to see Rupert Fike in attendance, as well as old pal, the very energetic and readying-herself-to-graduate GSU, Ms. T.J. Annunziata, and Professor Bob Wood from nearby Georgia Tech, too.
Fellow writer(she specializes in "flash-fiction")Ellen Lindquist joined ol' pal, Dan-Dan and me, and we listened intently to Kodac.After his Feature, Kodac sat down near me, and Ellen and he and I enjoyed hearing newbie poets read, at the late-night Open-Mic.Really, realy cool stuff, on a verrry hot evening.Ruth Windham always does a great job with the hospitality(cold drinks, and sweet and salty snacks)and the encouraging introductions.
Earlier on Wednesday, I stopped in at Outwrite, picked up a naughty card for a friend's birthday, and when I didn't find him at home,left him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY card, and some jasmine-tea, at his door.
I then met up with Atlanta director, Reggie Price, of the short film we are shooting soon, "Just Us". Reggie also wrote the screenplay. The actor who'll play my "baby-daddy", fellow-SAG-member, Louis C. Robins joined us, and the young actress who'll play my oldest daughter, beautiful Ms. Vitelle Webb, stopped in, too.
We took photos, and looked over location, etc.(The film will be shot in Forest Park, Georgia, soon).
So Wednesday was a great day, and this past weekend was great(see my earlier post, below!), too.
Peace,kids.

WHY I'M STILL ADDICTED TO FACEBOOK.
Georg of the blog, "Washing Without Getting Wet",(see link in my "Poets, Bloggers, and Others", to the right of this column) asked for me to address what Facebook means to me. So, here you are, Georg...
Facebook is the new blog.
Why? Because it's self-expression, and instant gratification, and it's instant connection--often to people(old friends, ex-co-workers, etc.) I've not seen in (literally) twenty years or more!
In the past week I've been able to argue politics with two sweet folks who I used to see on a regular basis, back in the late 1980's. One is a lovely woman who is a performer like me. The other is a young man who is a supporter of performers and artists, and both apparently, are very conservative in their politics, which very much surprised me. It's been really interesting to hear from two folks I knew for years, but about whom I knew very little(unless they've radically shifted politically since then, which does NOT appear to be the case!).
I've reconnected with a gorgeous red-haired woman who was a best pal in the 1980's with me, as I worked two jobs and struggled to be heard, to be understood. Sherry T. is the strong, self-actualized woman I expected her to become.
Fabulous!
I truly feel humbled by the folks getting in touch with me from long ago(ex-beaus, old friends, grown children of moms I know, etc.)and feel quite lifted-up, and buoyed by the kindness and interest shown me, and my written words.
If you're not on Facebook, you should be.
In my opinion, Facebook is:
*the new blog
*the new town-hall
*the new community-organizer
*the new best-friend
*the new lover
In my case, I'm so addicted, that Facebook might also be my "drug of choice".
I don't want to neglect this blog, because "Lisa Allender Writes" has been good to me. YOU dear readers, have been good to me!
Join me on Facebook, too, so we can have a real, intimate relationship. I promise it'll be good for you, too! ;)
Find me at Facebook, using "Lisa Nanette Allender", or simply use my Auto-Link to Facebook, to the right of this column.
Peace, kids.

UPDATE ON LISA NANETTE ALLENDER.
UPDATE ON ME?
Lots going on, kids, beginning with my successful audition, just last week, for the 2009 version of "Lend Me An Ear", the annual stage event featuring SAG-AFTRA members, to benefit The Atlanta Community Food Bank.
I'll be playing "Laurine", described as a "Femme Fatale Southern Belle", in an episode entitled "A Logic Named Joe", of the sci-fi series, "Dimension X". It is probably unnecessary to even mention this, but I am sooo thrilled to have such a juicy role!
All the sketches are adapted from old-time radio-shows, and are mystery, sci-fi, romance, intrigue, comedy...and this year, they include a musical version of "Dick Tracy"--with my dear friend, Yolanda Asher, playing--who else? "Tess Trueheart". You go, woman!
I am thrilled to be working for the first time with director Jon Hayden, and am delighted that directors Doug Kaye and Barry Stoltze are once again directing many pieces in this collection. Get the full details, here, and updates, almost daily--at my Facebook Wall. PLEASE "FRIEND-REQUEST" me, using "Lisa Nanette Allender" so you can be in the loop! You'll see the Auto-Link to my Facebook Wall, to the right of this column. Simply scroll down 'til you see "Lisa's Links" and click on "Facebook".
I'll have updates on the turnout for my CAbi (Carol Anderson by invitation) Show(presented by eternal friend, Coral McGhee) & Party, in my next post.
