Seeking a New Name



After quite a few years where it meant 'cool and hip alternate reporter,' the term 'blogger' is now synonymous with 'frivolous mouth' and 'irresponsible journalism.' The Great Plotnik has no problem with either of those definitions for himself, but he thinks he's got to come up with a new name for San Francisco Theater Blog. Preferably a replacement for the word 'blog,' to give it more weight, but maybe a completely new name. It has to have something to do with theater.

You are all creative folks, fellow Plotnikkies. Please comment with any ideas?

And if you've never been over there, here's the link:

On Opening Nights, theaters are filled with reviewers, actors not currently in a show, critics, friends of the producer and a few subscribers, but mostly people who paid nothing for their tickets. Invariably, someone sitting next to Plottie sees him with his press kit on his lap and note-taking apparatus, and at the intermission asks him: "So who do you write for?"

Plotnik hands them a business card and shmoozes a bit about the show. But he would like to answer with a name that does not include the word 'blog.'

Of course, the obvious names are already taken, so...c'mon Plotnikkies, one, two, three, go!

PS -- you know what else? Plot might have to get himself one of those hats to go with the new name. Great PD, we'll talk.

Except it's not all plays, is it?

I'll keep thinking.
