ALL OVER BUT THE CORN

And so the 2007 ICWP Ohio Retreat is now history. All the playwrights have left, the computer lab is empty, and the New Works Lab is again free for students working on their own projects. The last gasp was the Ohio Sweet Corn Roast today. Among us, three playwrights, three volunteer actors, one host/corn roaster, two spouses and a friend consumed two dozen ears of corn, roasted in their husks, spread with melted butter and/or sprayed with hemp oil, seasoned with salt/spike/kelp flakes, and consumed. A little bit of rain (well, at the start, a lot of rain) dampened things a bit, but didn't harm the corn.
