Speculation

ladyspriteI had kind of figured that, after writing Desperadoes Under The Eaves and marinating myself so thoroughly in the music of Warren Zevon for so long, that I'd be sick of the stuff - that while I'd still appreciate it intellectually, and enjoy a song or two here and there, that I'd never actively want to seek it out again.
But yesterday, during a six-hour-long solo car ride (which I actually love - it's not something I'd want to do every day, but there's something about being able to keep the windows where you like, the a/c set at your own comfort zone, and the music as loud/repetitive/dorky as you want that's kind of delightful every once in a while) my little Ipod performed its own version of the Chanukkah miracle, and made its little 1/8 of a battery charge last almost the entire way home. So instead of listening to the Carl Hiaasen book on CD that I had borrowed from the library, I just blissed out on music, playing whatever I craved. And apparently, for at least a couple of hours, what I craved was my all-Zevon playlist, on infinite shuffle.
And you know what? It's still awesome. And God help me, it kind of made me want to re-run Desperadoes.
The more I think about it, the more I realize it just might be feasible to run at Intercon Mid-Atlantic. It's a bit big, but there are a few characters that could, if need be, be cut out or combined into others. There are a few areas that need tweaking and polishing, but I made notes at the end of the last run about what needed work, and I still have them.
It'd take a bunch of work, and I'd need to talk it over pretty seriously with my co-writer (hi![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jadasc!), but... it could work. And it could even be fun. Or so my hindbrain is shouting at me.
They say the human brain just isn't built to remember pain - that that's a necessary fact in order to allow things like families with more than one child. I think I'm finally experiencing the reality of that first-hand.
I could do this.....
Somebody tell me not to, please?
