Glad to see people are still hanging in there!
Knowledge of the play was not really necessary, but I get a bit of a kick out of knowing how inappropriate it is for a first date, unless of course it was two Mamet fans or something. For myself, I love his writing style even though I blame him for killing whatever small sense of grammar I possessed. Reading his stuff is like reading a musical score. He uses punctuation so well... Okay, enough drama-nerd talk.
I'm so glad to see people liking Brian. You can never tell with creating a new character, but I really felt that Kal needed a male friend where the stakes of their relationship weren't as high and where there wouldn't be any sexual tension. No matter what's going on, he can always just relax and be himself with Brian.
Thanks for catching the peddle/pedal thing. I don't suppose I can pass that off as a Canadian spelling idiosyncrasy, can I? Anyway, I'll change it before I send it to the archive.
