Chris Wheeler in the FARSCAPE writers room, 2001
Just heard that Australian writer Chris Wheeler, story consultant on Farscape and writer of the episode “I Shrink, Therefore I Am”, died this week, apparently from a heart attack.
Talented, funny, hard working, friendly, great to work with, and definitely One of the Good Guys. He’ll be missed.
ETA 7 Aug: Obituary has been posted by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Sigh. One of these days I’ll actually start, y’know, blogging on this blog. This is not that day, but I want to bring this to the attention of all Los Angeles & Vicinity folk:
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (aka LACMA) presents FREE JAZZ on Friday nights from 6 to 8pm — yes, I said FREE! — outdoors on its (new) Central Court. Beer & wine can be bought. The museum itself is open until 9pm — and after 5 pm, museum admission is “pay what you wish.” But the jazz is utterly FREE.
And THIS Friday, 15 May 2009, the FREE jazz is the Greg Porée Group. I’ve been a fan of Greg and his music for Quite Some Time, so I will be there, my current wife will be there, and if you like jazz, then you should be there.
