The Other Arts Critics 2
For Part 1 on the other writers and editors on the dais for the Austin Critics Table Awards, see post below.
Rachel Koper: I am a Detroit Red Wings hockey fan; I usually wear red and white when I watch them. My oldest cat is named after Russian/American hockey player Sergei Fedorov. Hockey has taught me how to pronounce and spell some French words like Roy and Russian words like Khabibulin. I have a weakness for reading trashy and/or violent novels by authors like Janet Evanovich, Dashiell Hammett, John D. MacDonald and Cormac McCarthy.David Mead: “I would survive just fine without the arts in general, and music in particular, but life would be pretty dull. I would give Faires and Barnes stiff competition in any martini-mixing contest.”
Claire Ruud: Been reading “Mean Little Deaf Queer” by Terry Galloway and working on a needlepoint inspired by an 18th-century American sampler by Mary Eaton.
Joey Seiler: “My day gig as a tech blogger has made me an expert in kids’ virtual worlds, but moonlighting as an Austin critic is my personal career highlight. After almost four years of writing about Austin theater, I’ll be leaving next week to motorcycle around the country and attend New York University Law School.
Jonelle Seitz: If you’re in the theater right now and I’m not, I’m jealous of you. At a dance performance, I’m usually the one in the back of the house taking things way too seriously. I think bloopers in the theater are the best comedy. If scenery falls over or you get tangled up in a curtain (and you’re not injured), I’m going to laugh. Nothing personal.
Avimaan Syam: I have a day job as a software developer. I love food but strongly dislike grapefruit and olives. I have many dreams but have seen scant few of them fulfilled. I blame people other than myself for this.
Kate Watson: Recently, I’ve been working on a video about giving my youth to Texas and reading “Language to Cover a Page: The Early Writings of Vito Acconci.”
