Well, here’s some delightful and surprising news. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution named my solo show, HILLARY CLINTON GOT ME PREGNANT, one of the top 10 shows of 2009. I’m flattered! Merry Christmas to me! Check it out for yourself: http://blogs.ajc.com/arts-culture/2009/12/23/top-10-plays-of-2009/ Here’s an interview with me in Atlanta’s free weekly paper, Creative Loafing. I’m mostly talking about Hillary Clinton Got Me Pregnant, but I also talk a bit about Love Jerry and my Buffy tribute album. If you like the yammer, you’ll love this interview! http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/culturesurfing/2009/10/31/speakeasy-with-megan-gogerty/ I have died and gone to geek heaven: From the BUFFY LIVES! tribute night at the Englert Theatre in Iowa City:
But before that happened, Megan Gogerty and the Big Bad did a little rockin‘. Video will be coming shortly. Until then, enjoy some of these backstage pics of the band gearing up for their first (and possibly last) live performance of songs from my album. Dig it!
Okay. I was totally cranky about the casting on Glee, but now I have forgiven them. They’ve done a bang-up job in playing up Rachel’s shortness, bossiness, and supposedly big nose. She’s still too pretty for the role, but then, isn’t everybody on TV? I officially rescind my snark.
But beside feeling likes it’s a warmed-over Election rip-off, I struggle with the casting. Rachel, the Tracy Flick character, is all wrong. She’s much too conventionally pretty to be bought as a social misfit. At least Reese Witherspoon had that pointy chin she could play up. This Glee ingenue, however, is all perfectly plucked eyebrows and flowing hair. We need less Rachel McAdams and more Rachel Dratch. But I’ll try to keep a lid on my carping, lest they replace it with Hot Chicks M.D. Esq. …and now it’s over. Thanks to everybody for tuning in this summer. Now that it’s over, if you have a hole in your heart because you want to hear more podcasts, let me know, okay? Perhaps I’ll resurrect the ol’ podcast down the road. And if you’re one of those folks who always meant to listen to the podcast stuff but never got around to it because you’re at work and listening to MP3 files at work would be conspicuous, but you fear you’ve blown your chances at grooving on the podcasty vibe, don’t worry. The files will stay up on this here website for a good while. So you can continue ignoring them to your heart’s content. Happy fall! Wherein I tell a sweet lil’ story about going to the video store and thinking about how I could foment its destruction. I also mention naked ladies. Excerpt:And it’s sad. A desolate wasteland of forced grins and rubber chicken wit. Movies we’ve never heard of, starring faces that almost look like famous people. Who knew Dane Cook was in so many movies? Who knew Jason Biggs’ career was flourishing like this? Oh, wait – that’s not Jason Biggs. That’s a lookalike of Jason Biggs. What kind of career are you having when your greatest asset is that you kind of look like Jason Biggs? Want to hear more? Click the “play” button below!Wherein I tell a totally true story about getting my blood drawn. Excerpt:She’s been working at a table this whole time. Snapping on rubber gloves, Sticking adhesive labels onto bottles, readying her instruments. And this whole time, she still hasn’t looked at me. Not once. Until now. Want to hear more?

On October 3, the Englert Theatre in Iowa City hosted a tribute night to Buffy T.V.S. There were costume and trivia contests, and the whole thing culminated in a viewing and big ol’ sing-along to the musical episode, “Once More With Feeling.”
