Hey Steve, Hope all is good there. Your site always feels so calm, even with the occasional right wing neanderthal, whose words should always be erased visually and mentally like a blackboard. Speaking of which, what is the deal with shawn's vanishing website? And what is the protocol of web sites? If there is none, shouldn't there be...as with magazines or newsletters or clubs? Best wishes, -J

Steve, I was a friend of Char Wolff's, your lont-time devoted diary reader. She and I were in a cancer support group together. I becam aquainted with you list after her death when a copy of your diary for that weekend was sent to me. As you said, any friend of Char's is a friend of mine. Keep fighting the good fight.

Steve, I just now found your site, haven't had time to look around yet, but wanted to say Hello and thank you for coming to Grand Rapids, MI. I sang in the Grand Rapids Women's Chorus and was also in the small group that attempted to sing "back-up" for When You Care. Awesome night I will cherish the memory. Looking forward to checking out this sight more thoroughly and keeping up with you. Thanks again, Cheryl

Steve, A friend of your suggested that I read your site. Want a wonderful suggestion, it has really made some connections for me. My wife and I met in theatre doing the comedy "Room Service". Just local community theatre stuff you know. We did do a little semi-professional stuff along with my church position. My wife and I have also been performing music for over twenty years with church concernts. I like to take modern tunes and put Christian lyrics to them. I now know you much better and I hope we can become friends. Rev. Kent Svendsen

Steve, I had the pleasure of seeing you perform some of the songs from 'TLS' for the Hilberry Company at Wayne State. I am not a Hilberry actor, but I am an undergraduate Actor at Wayne State and enjoyed your presentation very much. Everyone at Wayne State wished to thank you for taking the time to visit and share your experiences with us. I tracked you down on the net and here I am. Thanks again. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Glad to hear you made it back home safely from foggy Grand Rapids, Steve! (By the way, you were in GR, NOT Ann Arbor!) On behalf of Herb (aka Mom), myself, Lena, and the rest of the "Bring Steve Schalchlin to GR Committee" - THANK YOU! Your performance moved all of us to tears, to laughter, and then to solid connection with our hearts, souls, and each other. The experience was priceless (but just the same, I wish that the check I gave you could have had an extra zero or two attached!) Congratulations on the successful LA opening of TLS - and thanks again for being willing to spend the week prior with us in Michigan. You made a difference.

Dear Steve or whoever else reads this: Last night i had the opportunity to see TLS. I had never heard of it, knew nothing about it besids the brief description i was given right before i entered the theater. I was in for a big suprise. I entered the theater a girl trying to get through life I left realizing just how lucky i am to live. Nothing like that has touched me in such a long time and though none of you probably care to hear this ill share with you anyway.....I am 15 years old and well consider myself to be bisexual, though that is still under some debate(hehe), ive seen a good amount in my short life, friends deaths and so on, and not until really last night did i stop feeling pity for myself....whatever that is suppossed to mean and maybe im just babbling but its my babble and im going to do it and there so to whoever read this and especially steve, thank you for sharing your story...your courage and strength has shown me a whole new way to live....best wishes-andrea

At long last, after waiting over a year, I got to see TLS last night at the Tiffany. It was well worth the wait. As powerful as those songs are on CD, hearing them live kicked them over the top. The cast is incredible and the audience was spellbound. And what a great idea to provide a question and answer session afterward to those interested. Talking to these characters about their roles and the effect the musical has had on their lives was fascinating. And, of course, it was particularly special because Steve could be there for the Q&A, too. I'm telling everyone I know to go see this. I'll be back. Save me a seat.

Saw TLS last night and brought my sister. Of course, I loved it, but my sister who has no background except the one liners I told her loved the story, the music, and thought the cast was wonderful. Steve: Have a great run!

I don't have AIDS... but I have my own issues which applied so much, maybe too much to TLS. Steve and Jimmy, Thank you. thank you for fighting, for loving, for working so hard to make tls a reality. i'll be there again!! TO ANYONE WHO HASN"T SEEN THE LAST SESSION... get there!!! it's in LA right now! Tiffany theatre... and YES it is worth it... :) Jimmy, Steve Thank you from the deepest parts of my heart Love Joy "always connected"

Dec. 2, 1998-Steve came to Grand Rapids, Michigan for World AIDS Day. He had a live interview that night and then a late-night foray to find an 11:00 p.m. meal. Not easy in Grand Rapids. He is appearing at the Michigan HIV/STD Conference, right now he is lecturing on using the internet. He sings Dec. 3 and we are looking forward to his performance. He's been fun to host.

Saw TLS in Laguna and it was wonderful. Going through my pile (of magazines, playbills, whatever) I came across the notes and came to see the website.
Passed it on to my denominational maillist (Disciples of Christ). Wonderful discussion on how the church fits into your work and life.
You're the bonus.

Saw you in Cambridge Saturday night at Linda George's insistence, and boy howdy! am I glad for that. You really blew me away. How is it that we Southern boys are born with such animated faces? I couldn't stop watching you and loving the way you just charmed and charmed us all night. And that's without even mentioning how fine-tuned your pop sensibilities are. In particular, the military-cadenced medley is just brilliant. Looking forward to the Boston premiere of the full-fledged musical...

Having helped a couple of friends through the epidimic, i am happy to know i have a place to send the others. good luck, especially with the stop you have soon at the church (who knows, maybe you'll meet my parents.. he he he) take care. molly

Hi Steve! Thought you'd appreciate a hello from a fellow Texan (Dallasite) now living in exile in Boston :) I read about your site and your play in the Boston Globe today, and I just wanted to say that you're terrific! The AIDS epidemic isn't over, even though some people seem to believe that it is, and I think it's important for artists to keep using their work to keep attention on the epidemic. Good luck! Branden

Steve, Your preformance at Waterloo High School was nothing short of amazing. You were correct in saying that music that is witten from the heart is the most powerful. It takes A LOT of GUTS to go in front of total strangers and Put them to tears with your very touching music. I am 16 years old and enrolled in the advanced music class at Waterloo. I am also a member of the Waterloo Varsity Ensamble, and the well known men's group "Just Us" It was definatly a pleasure hearing you preform, Students at school are still Raving about your preformance. There are some hypocritical people in school whom I cant stand, I ignore them, and carry on. I know out of the 53 people in that chorus room that period, You touched atleast 51 hearts with your music in a way that only you could. (52 if you want to include me) As I looked around the room, I saw 99% of the room on the edge of thier seats, or crying thier eyes out into a kleenex. The only advice I can offer you is to live every second of your remaning life to the fullest, and may God bless you for all you have done.

I was one of the students you did the one-man version of"TLS" for at Waterloo High last night. I'm also one the type of people you were talking about afterwards.. i accept people no matter who or what they are. One of my best friends had gotten really sick.. She never said what it was, but I didn't ignore her. I guess you could say the whole show corresponded in places to my life. Between my friend's sickness..{She finally confided in me it was HIV- not full out yet,but hurting her} and my father's cancer that gave him a 3% chance to live.in fact, I've almost given up afew times..but I thought about them and how unfair it was of me to leave my boyfriend, my best friend and my father after all they went through to stay with me. I guess now some of my friends are gonna know about my trys...but don't worry guys. S.J.'s a good girl now. No more of that...especially from what this guy's taught me about life and not giving up on others.

Steve, you are the man... I loved your last entry and the finale of Book 9. It's so great to see the support that people have for your show, which has touched so many people. Myself included of course!
It's been great knowing you, and growing with you the last two years. We met at a time when I was coming alive and you were supposedly dying... and two years later and we are here laughing through it all, sharing life, love, and friendship.
Thanks for being you and sharing your gift with everyone! *HUGS from the other COAST!* Love ya man!

Steve, I worked with you years ago at NAS, before you got the news that so changed your life. My greetings, heartfelt respect and congratulations to you for not curling up and dying like so many others, but rather choosing to make the change such a positive one...you truly are an inspiration to others, whether gay or straight, whether rich or poor, to remember that life, which can pass so quickly, is for living to the fullest. None of us really know or appreciate how much (little) time we have on this earth, and your reminding even one person of how precious that time is, is worth more than all the preaching in all the churches of the world. I hope to someday see you again, and wish you the best for a long and happy life. PS - sorry this wasn't funny...it's early in the day, and my humor's not awake yet...I'll save a bad joke for you .

Here I am again, scared to leave because it kept saying "attempt to load failed" and... my computer is schitzophrenic, no other explination. Hey, congrats with all these good reviews, I don't know WHY I didn't steal the car and sneak to California to see it, lack of guts on my part? I see all these fab pictures and I read all these fab reviews and I kick myself for missing it in NYC. Steve, are you REALLY maybe coming to Rochester?? I could see you TWICE, 15 days apart?.. It's a dream come true. Stay cool, all.

Steve, glad to see elizabeth (alias efrantz) made it to your fabulous website. i must say that while watching rent, someone turned me on to your amazing production. by coincidence (is there such a thing?) elizabeth saw the production in new york and bought the cd. needless to say, it has been one of our listening pleasures for a long time now. i was sitting next to her at the la jolla playhouse when we noticed in the playbill you were staging The Last Session at laguna playhouse. we did literally scream out "we are so there!" then, i met this wonderful person, gail, who manages a rent website and my fate was sealed. i will be at the show on friday with gail and group and right alongside elizabeth that very same sunday to drink in the magic of your talent and saga. also being raised a southern baptist child of a deacon father and a church pianist/sunday school teacher mother, i can tell you i will feel right at home finally! it's nice to meet other southern baptists who don't hate other baptists but still has a liberal bent and attributes it to the church. separation of church and state was what i learned as a child and still hold to that today. preacher and the nurse always brings a tear to my eye because i watched my father, the other deacons and the preacher all build our church with their bare hands. my mother and i even brought sandwiches to the men as they worked in a metal tray that we had to grab away quickly when the sandwiches got low because it had a beer label in the base. the memories your songs bring to me are priceless. my parents are gone now but always live on in my heart. (taking some liberties) i know i'll never be the woman my father (and mother) once was but i always try to help when people need me. can't wait to see it live! all my best, charmi

I was incredibly lucky to see The Last Session on off broadway. I just got half price TKTS without knowing anything about the show, cause there was a man in line promoting it. It was one of the best experiences of my life. When I saw that The Last Session was coming to Laguna I literally screemed. I am coming to the show on sunday and seeing this site only makes me more excited. Steve you are amazing.

Hi Steve and Jim -- Am thrilled by all the great publicity you and your show are getting in advance of the premiere down in Laguna. I plan to go down to see the show. I heard a lot about it when it was "off Broadway." I know it is wonderful, and is making a very valuable contribution for the AIDS cause. I especially love the fact that you are spreading the word through entertainment. There is no more powerful way to do it. And, yes, I know that somewhere she is watching...and is very proud.

Hi Steve, I didn't have a chance to read all of the info in your site -- I was just browsing around & looking for guestbook ideas (i'll be adding one to my site soon) I just wanted you to know that I am a right wing conservative christian and I love homosexual people. I believe that Jesus does too!

Dear Steve, I saw you in Charlottesville on August 14. The show was so inspiring, so uplifting to know that so much love and caring can come from such tragedy if we only open up our hearts and minds and be true and real. I lost my younger brother to AIDS in 95. I will never stop marching in his memory and honor until society is worthy of all its children. Bless you and all who support that cause.

Steve, I know your intentions are good, but I can't see the value of having any kind of dialogue with right wing christians or their pawns. "Psycho-history" is the view that history is not just what happens but why. And part of history is the fact that some people are victimized partly because they make good victims. Right wing christians wake up every day filled with hate. Everyone out there, type onto your provider >godhatesfags< and you will see all you need to know about these bigots. The same lies and hate you'll find with the KKK and the American Nazi Party. And check out the violence --not just against gays by the way but against anyone who walks upright without their hands dragging on the ground-- in states where right wing christians control the environment. This is a battle that's been going on in this country since the 1950s, and it's bigger than any single issue. It's about freedom versus facism. Better to stand up and fight back than to try to give any platform to those who demean you. Sorry for this anger, here, but it is time. I wish you and your well-intentioned readers only peace and good things.

Steve, Sorry, I know your intentions are good, but I think you are just being a pawn in giving any kind of respect to right wing christians. "Psycho-history" is a term that holds history is not just what happens but the reason it happens. One reason some people are victimized is because they believe in being good victims. Right wing christians wake up in the morning filled with hate. Everybody out there, type onto your website location >godhatesfags< and you will see what the right wing christians are all about. The violence against gays, and by the way other people who walk upright without their hands dragging on the sidewalk, is most intense in those states where right wing christian hate mongers are strongest. This is the same battle that's been going on in this country since the 1950s and it's much bigger than any one issue. What it really is about is freedom versus fascism. And you don't help but searching out "good nazis" to have a dialogue with. You have to know when to stand up for what's right and fight back. For you and your well-intentioned readers, I wish only peace and good things.

Seeing your pictures and getting into a little information (need to take more time)I felt both happy and sad. I am glad for your success and the life it has brought you. Simply reading the words by one of the pictures - the one on the left is me, looking a little gaunt - hit my heart and took me to the day I really looked in the mirror and saw what had become of me, and so many of my friends and people I helped care for. Then the reality of the journey leads you to new places. Keep being in there and visible.

Steve, I told you I would let you know when I found "the word" that described how you make me feel: empowered. Such a simple word, yet it conveys so much meaning. You are a gift from God, and I think you are right. I think Bruce did lead me to you. How lucky I am to have him watching over me, just as he did when he was here. Bless you, Steve. You are in my thoughts. Dawne

By the way - the Bible also says "Know the Truth, and it will set you free." Let us not forget that freedom is defined NOT as doing what we feel like, but doing what we should. Perhaps we do have all of our cures, we're just too far away to see them!

Steve and Jimmy - I haven't added to the guestbook in quite some time, mostly because I now get the page directly in my email - the Information Age, ain't it grand. Anyway, I wanted to comment on Jimmy's re-interpretation of the Bible, from his point of view. I think it is spectacular. Those who down it, as we discussed just are too hung up on everything that is centuries old. We're quickly approaching the Year 2000, which since we as a society believe in brevity, is also known as "00" - isn't that the big fear of computer systems around the world - failure with the "00" concept? We never thought about it when all of these systems (the newest, the biggest, and the best) were put into production. We are basically starting from ground zero again because we all lost track of the simplicity of how it should be. A date is a date...2000 is not 00, its 2000, just as 1900 is 1900, and not 00. We have engineered complexity into something - just as we have engineered complexity into our lives. Lets keep it simple. The Bible in its form as we know it says that we are all human beings, created in God's image. Jesus also taught that what He was capable of, so are we. If God created all, the Universe, infinity, are we not a representation of His wonders? We would all like to think that, but we engineer shortcuts into everything we do, thinking we're better for our accomplishments - and we proudly display them outwardly. If we see ourselves as any way different, or separate from even a single person around us, then my friends, we have missed the most remedial lesson to be taught in the Bible. Life's principle speaks to the Father Within - nowhere does it address the Father Without. If God created everything, then how can something else exist? Or is it that you don't really believe in what you preach? Go for it Jimmy - bring us up to date and make us chuckle at our own shortcomings. The hardest thing to do is look inside and laugh. We hate more than anything else being laughed at by others, but we never take a look inside and just get a chuckle about where we fell off the mountain from trying to hang on to too much baggage as we climbed. Look at the Everest summit achievers - they took only that which would allow them to survive - and they made it to the top to see everything available to them. Those who didn't believe, didn't make it - and that is a terrible tragedy. Go for it Jimmy - and always remember our "toilet conversation" at Club 39 - a prayer has been answered! I love you guys.

Hello Steve, This is my first visit here...I will return again as my time today was limited. It's wonderful to see that you are LIVING proof that "the inevitable" is often only a matter of incomplete conclusions by some partially informed people. You never fail, until you fully give up, so don't give up hope. You never know who might be watching you or who might be watching over you. The former will be inspired, that latter will give you inspiration. Sincere best wishes. Benny Sanders

Steve, I just finished reading your story in A&U. I can't help but note how healthy you look in the picture with your partner. We chatted a few times back in '96, when I initially joined the Gaypoz Discussion Group. I am so glad for your continued good health and success. I, too, remain incredibly healthy and I have nothing but gratitude in knowing that some of us are making it through this thing called AIDS. I will continue to raise hell on my end to do what I can to make sure that more of us will also have a chance for good health. There is still an AIDS mountain to conquer in the people of color communities, nationally and globally. I know that I am only one person -- but I feel that this gift of continued good health is here for a reason. Therefore, just like you, in my own way I am doing my small part to make a difference. With love, your friend always, Derrick Anderson, Chair-Elect Michigans PLWH/As Task Force

This was my first time on your site. I live a very rural area in West Virginia. I have been doing AIDS/HIV education for as long as I can remember. Because we are so rural it has been very hard to convince people that AIDS and HIV are here. Since very few people use condoms I'm very scared about the spread of it. Everyone around here seems to think they only are risking having a baby. Which their mother had them at age 14 or 15 too. I plan on having the young people who will really read look at your site. If you have any ideas to help me in educating these kids please write me. Thank you and good luck with the rest of your life! Noel
