May 2004

Much has happened since the last time I posted, barring any unpaid bills, I have now my MFA or Mutha Fuckin’ Attitude as H. Feltersnatch would say.

Honestly, more than anything, I’m relieved…the hardest thing is realizing that I really don’t feel that much different, I feel like almost no time has passed, and that the extremely hard parts, agonizing as they were (and it truly felt like there would be no end to the bad luck) moved quickly.

This last year flew by, and much of the time I’ve been thinking about what I said I was going to do at the end…follow my dreams…

To the beach, (*I got the lappy*) and to be an artrockstar…I want to travel and get paid to come talk, to have residencies, and friends in so many cities that I can sleep on floors around the world.

I was part of Tim Sullivan and New Langton Arts “The ‘How-To’ Intensive”

The first night was an all male review with a multitude of one minute performances.

James Tantum
Paul Zag…
Peepers
Pete Ippel with “Pop Pop”
Steve C.

It went well, tonight I was “Tim” and talked about how to high jump…mostly a flatstep drill, mechanics, and what’s in a jumpers bag…

It was fun…and I looked really good which is always a plus.

I’m really looking forward to NY, and have to get this suit to the Taylor very soon, so I have to get the software from Vic ASAP.

*yikes*
