DUDE. Okay, ten years ago? I took tae kwan do in Westmont,IL with a woman whose theater company had just started this show Babes With Blades (!!!), and she told me that they made enough money with this one show that they could then do whatever they wanted for the rest of the year. I never forgot it, obviously. *g* Then later, after I moved, I saw her on Wild Chicago. I can't remember her name b/c I am LAME, but she had dark hair and a son who was five at the time. Does any of this sound familiar??

(oh, and absolutely I'll change to a cap W! I'll put the website in my ending notes, too, unless you'd rather I didn't. And thank you so much for not asking me to change it -- I'd have to go with Girls With Guns or something, and that's not nearly as sexy. *bg*)

oh, and regardless of whether or not we are long lost sparring partners, I'm chicago-local again, and I will definitely come to your show in the fall. :D

Awesome! Let me know when, so I can meet you in the lobby afterwards. Or - are you going to Winchest Midwest this weekend? Maybe I will meet you there?

I'm not going to the con, unfortunately -- but I hope you guys have fun! *bg* I'll definitely let you know when I go to the show. I'm really looking forward to it!

(and Jean! It was definitely Jean -- we took instruction together for almost a year. I'm glad to hear she's doing well.)

Thanks again for letting me keep the Babes reference, and I appreciate the rec, too. :D *hugs*

No worries! If you go to the BWB webpage, you can sign up to receive our monthly "Broadsheet" (get it? hee hee!) and that will have all the info on upcoming productions and other nefarious activities.

Thanks!

I'm guessing Jean Adamak Gottlieb? Or perhaps Leigh Ann Wilson? Those were the two dark-haired suburban gals with sons that I think were with us at the time. And yes, our first run of BWB was a cash cow, bless the stars. Babes With Blades left Footsteps when I resigned from the Company (in 1998) and became its own entity, and we now have a two-show season and are still going strong, 11 years later. Jean now has her own theater company out in the suburbs, New Repertory Theater, which has also been going strong for several years now.

I would LOVE it if you could link to our website (www.babeswithblades.ORG) in your endnotes - it's great publicity!

Now I have to go rec your fic to all my friends of Babes who read slash. :)

Thanks again,
Sam
