May 13, 2010 (San Diego) – ECM reviewer Walter G. Meyer’s new play, GAM3RS, opened May 7th at the Ion Theatre in Hillcrest off of 6th Avenue. This one-man show captures today’s contemporary life in which sublimation and escapism through online gaming is a norm--a world where lines between reality and fantasy become blurred as real working professionals, while going about their daily job routines, become engulfed in a “Land Made of Awesome” populated by elves, warriors, knights and orcs. The result is hilarious and entertaining, probing the psyche of gamers with sensitivity and credibility.

January 15, 2010 (San Diego)--Drawing on his own experiences, San Diego author Walter G. Meyer embarked upon a decade -long journey to create his recently published novel, Rounding Third. This book is much more than a fictional account drawn together from adolescent memories. Wthin the story’s characters can be found, according to Meyer, “a bit of everyone.” In addition to Meyer’s past, Rounding Third is a blended anthology of the lives of many real people, including several youths from East County. One of the central characters, Josh, is partly based on a youth who in addition to sharing the character’s name, comes from El Cajon.
