Virgo 26° (September 17) 

I need to get a jump on promoting Martha Graham Cracker show. That will be major priority. I’m going to do a minimum of house work today and get my groove on. But I do want to get the entire place in order so I don’t have to do much tomorrow but chill and get through all the papers on my desk and start to deconstruct the process of the sample chapter which is our next greatest feat to accomplish. I have such trepidation about Oysterfest in a sense but I will end up going through with it as an alternative plan did not materialize. My throat hurts. I am limping (in advance). I am going to speeding this along today. I really am getting super organized in the aftermath of Afterglow. I’ve put my press feelers out to whomever will listen about the series this year, something I have to optimize in the coming weeks. I’m going to bold my to-dos one being put together list of possible corporations I can contact about what i do; look for money to fund the moveable festival concept and work all the angles. Speaking of which I needed to get this into works.

So as I said Mass MoCA never so much as got back to me all summer—they are so irresponsible and so far up their own holes it is not to be believed. They obviously do not value artists who aren’t Annie Lennox or whatever famous asses they are all about kissing. So fuck them. I’m sorry for their spinning our wheels. That awful women there was supposed to get back to me “next week” with the deal we spent hours discussing. This after a year and a half of making dates to speak and not showing up. She is pure evil that one. Sorry you had to move heaven and earth to make all of yourselves available Labor Day weekend. It was six weeks nearly when I wrote to her: how do you sleep at night. Karma is a bitch and she’ll get hers. No need to give it another thought. I feel bad for folks who do stuff like this I really do. And she’s a freaking lawyer.

I have reached back out to NB because I still feel VERY strongly about the intersectionality of an evolved version of Gravitational Fool as a theatrical experience with more grass roots connection to LGBTQ community and organization (like Fenway Health, etc) which is right there at [redacted]. I truly believe this could be a model for touring the piece to places where we can bottle that intersectionality and see you have fun touring the piece whilst also having it be taken up by LGBTQ activists/organizations wherever it might play. There might be some dramaturgical elements (which we began discussing) to add or amp to make that connection all the stronger. But I don’t think GF has had it’s glory days as of yet.

I really hope N will take a leap and let us do this because I feel, both in terms of the Fenway geography, but also the fact that Boston is your home city where we can really garner a lot of press and activate the community there to come and see this. When I think about how many times PA has performed LLL (or any of her pieces) the lessons here are that a piece need not have a shelf life AND/BECAUSE it can keep evolving and changing and mostly just deepening.

 If you speak with N hit her over the head with why this would be such a great idea for them and such a boon to you and band. We need this particular bottling of theater and community and press about it so we can lead with the importance, social and artistic, of this piece!!

Virgo 25° (September 16)

I wake this morning and focus straight away on grant writing to get that out of the way. The house is a wreck, but I’m here alone and can take up a lot of space and start getting organized. I will get a balance on what my show take was. I broke even bascially on the venue rental. I don’t know if I have it in me anymore to champion this cause alone for so little audience turn out. It seems the people of Provincetown don’t wish to champion it along with me which is pretty distressing. Oh well, I’m just feel post-mortem-pardum depression. I do need to put on some foot cream. You didn’t really need to know that.  It doesn’t matter I will omit the major drama of today and put it in a later post I’m just needing to get things done in a way that makes sense for everybody. There is shit everywhere. I start to dig in and will make good progress over the next couple of days although it’s hard to believe I do given what happened today. All the laundry done. All the meals made. I’m having some kind of sweating going on. I think I might be going through something of a detox from last week. I forgot I had my headphones on and the sound coming through them was unexpected and I jumped.

First of all we don’t work together. In no way shape or form are we connected professionally. We had a mutual friend who introduced us (with whom you are no longer friends) and it is true that you introduced launch to us and we shelled out a lot of money to them so it would have been from them, anyway, that you would have received a finder’s fee. Not from the person paying. Our book agent takes a cut of money she has made for us, she takes a percentage of the money her clients are receiving. She doesn’t also get paid by HarperCollins for bringing them writers. That is aburd. And anyway that didn’t turn out exactly great as the person you put us in touch with left halfway through the project leaving us with strangers with whom we had no prior conversation. So I wouldn’t exactly say that was a stellar situation. But we are not your client. You wanted to introduce us to A, that’s great. But we didn’t ask you to do that, nor did or do we have an arrangement whereby you are finding us talent. We are not in business together. You found your client A a paying job. Whatever contract or arrangement the two of you have together is your own business. We had absolutely no plan to work with you on the creation of our collection. We did think that if we ever wanted to work with an agency/showroom in future we would surely discuss that with you but we are not obligated to work with you. We don’t work with you. And given this situation where ten months after making a friendly introduction you are coming after us for a fee? I don’t think we would be interested in working with you, now, in the future either.

You seem to make a great many enemies, and from your social media, are always tearing down someone. That sort of negativity doesn’t really match the energy of our world. Also you lie. You told A that we were never in touch with you or never thanked you for this and that, and that is a bold-faced like. (Meanwhile you’ve taken swipes at her to us in your correspondence which is just so disloyal, ugly and wrong.)  And we have the direct messages and emails to prove it. If anything you were the one who was hard to reach and uncommunicative, going months without responding to correspondence. And on this score I want to warn you, if we hear of one single, solitary, negative, false, derogatory statement, even a whisper, about us, we will swiftly take legal action. We are feeling extorted, maligned and harrassed; so I here to tell you as clearly as I can, not to contact us again; do not speak of us; do not even think of us. We want absolutely nothing to do with you ever again.

Virgo 24° (September 15)

Yeah my jacket doesn’t look so hot. I will pack myself up today and S. will come collect me then I will sadly drop her at the ferry to Boston to the airport to Toronto. It’s really hard to be alone right now after this week. I’m pretty strung out I have to say. This gets harder and harder to do. It was so much fun and the beginning. The artists were great and grateful, even though they are the ones who have become so famous. I bet these artists are still more humble than some of those coming up. Anyway I’m not going to get stuck on this. I will get myself home and drop all my bags and such on the ground and not look at them until tomorrow. I don’t even think I will eat today. I might just get into bed and binge watch what I missed. I can’t even tell you what I missed. I can’t even tell you what I’ll end up watching. All I know is that I will be turning a corner this week for sure; as this is no longer sustainable. And neither should it be. I was thinking about Reality Winner and how her name is so unfucking believable durint his ongoing reality shit show. I hate Donald Trump so very much. I cannot believe people voted him in in the first place. We have got to get rid of him. I know everybody says that but I feel like Margery Tyrell in game of thrones in her final scene, if you know what I mean, and you know, I know you do. Do we have to feel so changed and broken. Is this a must-do inevitability?

I will go back and start watching season one of that show late night as a means of trying to lull myself to sleep. I will also get caught back up in it. There was so much money for production compared to the last season, you can tell. Cast of hundreds, and then it came down to just a few people. Journeys took whole seasons and then suddenly people were getting back and forth from place to place as if they had a transporter room. I always thought the Daenyrs whoever the fuck you spell it story line was boring. I like the actress but why bring me down a million storyline paths when you were going to wrap up the entire series with back to back battle episodes followed by the very last where the camera simply followed people taking a very long time to walk through hallways, upstairs, or across esplanades. Am I depressed? Is everyone depressed. So many time-wasters, so many uncarers. I have got to be propelled at this time. I must move completely forward. I feel all the more that we should be building in some related side-hustle to give our new entreprenuerial ventures life. We will cancel our Joe’s show. I will write to the venue and also to our-would be replacement musical director. It will be fine and feel very much like a relief. The corner must, must be turned.

Provincetown, as much as I love it, too, has turned into something of a weird scene I must say. I have got to stop doing the same old same old expecting different results. We are going to rock this house. We are going to get our groove on. We are turning that corner. you can’t stop the beat. Whatever that means. I’m happy for Tony Kushner and his new play at the Public. I’m thrilled David Binder is the Artsitc Director of BAM. I just want to lie down and go to sleep. Everyone should get what they want. So many people seem so unhappy so much of the time. I wish it were different but it doesn’t seem to be the case. I feel I’m falling into that category and I have to do everything in my power to turn that ship around seriously  I cannot be subject to my own upset. I made mistakes but the weight of them needn’t drag me down. I have terrible relationships to relationships I just do. I’m just so burnt out all the time. I have Venus conjunct the Sun in the first house and Jupiter opposes my Venus. I’m not going to sit here and interpret that you’ll just have to figure out what all that means on your own. I mean really you will. I am in a Sisyphisian phase.

Virgo 23° (September 14)

I stayed in most of today just watching coverage of news while getting my head around this final night of festival and how freaking spread as thin as marmite my nerves are. My eyes have been super bloodshot I think it’s the air conditioning in the pet-friendly room. Sophie and Mark from ART are coming tonight to the shows which we will also be presenting at ART this coming season, so that’s good. I had this to say about the shows: The last night of the Afterglow Festival gave us life with the stand-out, stand-up poet-activist-playwright Kareem Lucas (with the middle initial M.). The truth and the beauty and the hope and inspiration were dripping off his poignantly delivered prose, never prosaic. The quality audience that saw this show will go forth and spread the good word about this great artist……… We could not be more pleased with the finale act of the ninth annual Afterglow Festival: Migguel Anggelo’sLatinXoxo hit home this year’s (always mysteriously emerging) themes of Vulnerability, Identity, Process and Renewal. In its grander incarnation, the tenderness will be offset…? balanced…? unmasked..?? by a big-band onstage presence. Bringing you Cugaut and Charo with sprit, intelligence and Love.

Walked back to the hotel in the pouring rain and don’t have much hope for my Margiela jacket, which is a shame. It will turn out that I spent a thousand dollars on buying drinks and snacks for folks at festival, which is actually fine. S. had a good idea about making the festival free to people. That would entail basically just another 10K we would need to raise but how cool would it be to be able to bring people into town that could fill every seat. This would be more leverage to get people donate, especially folks who live in town because we know that free tickets will bring people to town and we can somehow track folks, or they can send people to the theater. It would be a great idea but now as I’m thinking it through I’m realizing I can probably just step up the senior and student concept or do it by lottery. The only thing is if people don’t show that’s kind of a problem. Never mind that isn’t going to work we can do half and half. The main goal would be to get a great crowd for ten year anniversary. We shall see. I might not do it at all. The first thing I need to do this next couple of weeks is totally cool it and get into bed early every day. I know these Blagues haven’t been that exciting this week but I’ve been busy with this festival and so you’ll live. I will be getting more creative again soon I promise.

Virgo 22° (September 13)

Sometimes I just want to run away to Divinty School or spend whole nights smoking weed and drinking red wine. Sometimes I want to dissapear to some tertiary town in France or Belgium or Spain or Holland and get a bike and a studio apartment and just live off whatever I’ve created. Only thing is I’ll have to create more. I will change rooms this morning, which I’ll have to do in a few trips, which will not be that fun. The room I’ve been in is so much better.  I will do my emails and make a plan for this evening. Does anybody read Carlos Casteneda anymore. Has it all become irrelevant. Everyone I knew in college were misanthropes in the making and I think I obviously knew that. This is the day I get picked up at the hotel, I think. I just sort of pace myself I guess as far as I can remember. I feel like I got picked up early and we went somewhere. I think we sent to lunch at Nor’Easter. Yes that’s it we had both our meals there that day. In regards to the shows I saw that night I later said this: Sincerest thanks to Monique Jenkinson/Fauxniquefor returning to the Afterglow Festival this year. It’s so wonderful to see performers change and grow over the years and keep adding to their toolboxes! Fauxnique’s tender, honest and vulnerable show “Imposter Syndrome” was as on point as her ballet moves! Mwah Monique! X And I also said this:Hooray for Mollywood! Thanks to other returning champions to this year’s Afterglow Festival: Molly Pope blew us away once again with her funny, poignant narrative and that beautiful belting voice of hers. Such a pride and pleasure to present this great performing artist who always surprises and never disappoints. And with Drew Wutke, one of ze best musical directors in the biz! Lurved it.

I wish I could have been mindful enough to take pictures the whole time but I’m so so lame. Tomorrow which isn’t tomorrow marks the day I have to really start my return to love, self-love that is. I am on the precipice, on the brink I can feel it. You’ve heard me say it before. You might diagnose this entire nearly five year Blague as an exercise is some disorder. I once had a friend who was clearly bi-polar (he thought my ‘wisdom posts” on social media were masked messages to him…yeah). I do need to reach out to R&R suddenly I feel we are friends maybe. That’s a paraphrase of a line from Darleeling Limited. I am doing the best I can. I will ask Paisley. Not only does she take a lot of pictures but she also takes really good ones. Oh and Bobby Miller was there. You know what—it’s fine. I just said yes to everything and offered hugs all around. Molly and Drew had arrived the night before and we all went out after those amazing Thursday shows for pizza at Spiritus. I paid for everything. What else is new. Note: add Spiritus to my petty cash list of deductions. I’m so generous with people and they barely appreciate it. I do want to say that in regard to a certain accompanist whose meals and drinks I’ve bought and to whom I gifted priceless tickets to a certain Broadway shows who had the pluck to write me after the fact to say that I hadn’t paid him enough here’s the T, you ‘re a fucking ingrate. Just one more Virgo who doesn’t fucking get it.

Being a Virgo, the virgin, metaphorically speaking means they don’t always quite get it. It’s not naivite necessarily, it’s a certain disconnect. When the character Mary Magdalene, a Virgo archetype, sang I don’t know how to love him she was being totally honest about herself, not Him (whoever he might be). Virgo women are notoriously attracted to the most high-impact figures on the planet. And they do orbit close to tony figures who have a sweeping sphere. Virgo begins August 23, the date of the festival of Vulcanalia, for the Roman god Vulcan (Greek: Hephaestus), the potter (mutable-earth!) god, and there is a theory that their is a planet Vulcan, the true ruler of Virgo, that orbits even closer to the Sun than Mercury. May we some day discover it because it would explain a lot about Virgo people, women in particular, securing themselves so extreme an inside track, becoming inside circle, and doing so quite unseen.

Virgo 21° (September 12)

We have dinner tonight at Joon Bar with Fauxnique. I actually had a late lunch of a salmon platter with some soothing bloodies. I needed something after last night. I awoke somewhere pre-dawn alone and new ut-oh, things went awry and they did. That’s okay it happens where my snoring can just be too much for anyone to bear. One more thing I have to get in check. I have to say though that I do love a good bloody, and it was spicey and it was raining and it was surely the salve I needed. I can’t say alot here today I don’t think. I believe tomorrow will be the day when some things come together. I’m happy certain checks are in the mail. I must get through this process and shoot myself foreward into the present if not the future. Things have got to give or nothing will. Tomorrow I must be able to sleep a good deal of the day. The shows tonight are Trevor and Bearded and they will be very great and quite good, surprisingly good.  I ultimately had this to say about the first:A belated thank you to Trevor Bachman and Keiji Ishiguri for a spectacular performance of Trevor’s “Shapeshifters Playlist” at the Ninth Annual Afterglow Festival. Year on year (and generation on generation of performer) we have been so fortunate to present amazing emerging talent; while everyone who was there will agree this was surpassingly great! Remember their names! And so happy to have hosted you. And then this about the second:Digging out here so forgive the late expression of gratitude to The Bearded Ladies featuring John Jarboe and Heath Allen for returning to the Ninth Annual Afterglow Festivall with their superfine, smart, funny show, a tuneful twist on Mr. Rogers, which, if you missed it, you must see. So look out for it in NYC, Philly or wherever fresh fish in a tank is served!

It was fun speaking with the F word. She has a lot to say and we all seem to be going through it. I made her a promise that I must keep. And I want to keep it. Again we had Erique taking care of us. What a sweetheart he is. Like an improved Stef. He turned out to be quite odd in the end. There are these other chaps in town, two French guys who own a house and are narcissists and post online every shit they take. The town is becoming a marquee for social media and nothing more. All the more reason to kick it old school. But the world, the world, it seems to be falling apart. What is an outdoor kitchen and why do we want one. Is it naf. Lights go out the walls come tumbling down. I am actually not writing this on the twelfth of the month but the thirteenth. It is part of my particular madness to write this Blague everyday. In just about six months I will have completed my fifth year of daily entries. I will take this to the bank one day. It will be after I write yet another book. I need to maybe move to an affordable suburb (or Maine) by priorities are bathtub and fantastic pool. I am focused 100% on this new path. I will completely forgo the postcard next year and even the hanging of the names posters. It doesn’t do anything I will use whatever money I get to promote by myself on my own. No printing. None of that shit. Do it on a complete shoestring. Screw them. Meanwhile get more funding for what we do this year. It all comes down to the same thing: I have to stay in the right state of mind. And that is exactly what I intend to do. Funny the verb to be trumps the word to do. I originally typed I have to be in the right state of mind, but ten I couldn’t say that is exactly what I intend to do. I had to replace the word be with stay which is also kind of funny as they are so related one to the other linguistically as it is.

Virgo 20° (September 11)

This night will end in tears. I am trying and failing to catch my breath on this day, it is proving rather impossible. I don’t think I realized how my show stretched me to the limit on top of all the other stuff I had to do. But I will rally somehow. Fauxnique will arrive today, along with Rick—Dante didn’t end up using any of his hotel I don’t think which kind of burns me since, had I known, I could have saved the money. Oh well. He’s a very good singer. I say this about them:Thank you Rick Berlin for your glorious show at the Afterglow Festival last night. I feel bad for anyone who missed it. It was absolutly sublime. Your writing is transcendent and the music was just so expert and inspiring. It felt so full circle for me to have you to Ptown as you were a rock god to me going back to BU and Kenmore Square days. Like fine (organic red) wine you have only become all the finer! And about the next show I said this: He did it everybody! Gene Dante said yes to the Afterglow Festival‘s request (year on year) and wrote a one-man show for us! Thank you so much for entertaining us in glittering fashion and for sharing your stories and your soaring musical talent with us. And thanks to Gina Naggar for tickling the ivories!

Yesterday, I forgot to mention, included this really negative vibe from the Art House. Bringing up last year how I (asked permission and) brough in food one night. That Ben deRuyter is a fuck wad of the first order and I’m glad I’ve gone on the books as not liking him because now I realize I am in the large majority. I think he tried to run for office for stuff but it failed miserably. Apparently he rented out the Hindu for their staff party what a cliche. It’s just the vibe was bad all around. I had to set up a bar and served people free wine. On top of all my other job roles this was an added attraction. Please. Fauxnique arrived which was nice as I might have mentioned and Rick Berlin especially was not only such a great show but he is such a great presence. Apparently he still works as a waiter at a place called Doyles in Jamaica Plain. And Doyles is now suddenly closing after being opened for a thousand years. And of course I named my person Kenny Doyle in my show. Kenny Doyle who “initiated” me and killed himself before I could confront him, finally, one day, which I might have done. I can find his family but what good will that do? He wore Budweiser trunks and did flips into the ocean. He wasn’t gay but he sure liked to use boys for his own pleasure. Am I still locked in that same weird place. I think the answer is yes on that one. Isn’t that the whole point? I could have written any show on any theme but straight away I went there, no pun intended.

Virgo 19° (September 10)

I wake and go to Baie to pick up wine and then bring some over to the dressing rooms. Tomorrow there is no bar because the space is closed so I have to basically create one. I have my tech today at 11AM. I will get there and the piano tuner will rather rudely tell me to come back later. We will have a snack at Canteen—a grilled cheese for me—S. has already lunched there. We shall see Rob and Loic who are flying tonight to Denmark. We will walk back to the hotel and regroup in time to go to a 5pm dinner at Nor’Easter but they will be closed for a private party; so we will go to Joon Bar for a very small snack that will nonetheless break the bank. Eric there is one of my favorite people in Ptown. There were about twenty four people and the first show and really I don’t expect anyone to show for mine.And I am relatively calm. In the dressing room doing my thing mainly obsessing over my hair not my lines. There is plenty of Aquanet which I’ll use and I’m in comfortable jeans and shoes and a black jacket. I am not at my fighting weight but there is a lesson in all of this. My body is feeling rather beaten up and I need to take a break after this.

Anyway the first show tonight is Rachelle and she is such a lovely presence. I will say: Thank you Rachelle Garniez for your magical performace last evening at the Afterglow Festival you had us all wrapt with your soaring talent, wit and grace. Happy journey back to NYC where everyone must go and see your I Can Sing A Rainbow! Then about myself I will say this: I’d like to thank Quinn Cox for my show last night at the Afterglow Festival. The tiny audience was mostly strangers but they were delightful. I delivered. I entertained. I kept the audience’s attention. They laughed and moaned for all the right reasons. I accompanied myself on piano, once with my favorite guest star. I got snaps. I filled the gap on a performer who breached contract last minute and dropped out. With all I already had on my plate, I wrote and performed a 75 minute show with music in the course of five days. And I proved the MF show must go on. I feel pretty great right now (I look like bloody hell) but….I feel wonderful. (I’m flipping over backward!) We are still extra fundraising to make ends meet! Where my Sparkers at??

Rachelle’s show really is magic. She moves from stage station to station—guitar, piano, accordion, and two different sorts of bells, one on a twirling wheel, and other multicolored traditional bells on which she played Somewhere Over the Rainbow. She has this really cool growling lower register. Like falsetto/soprano in reverse. And then otherwise she has a pretty middle-range voice I would say which, too, rings like a bell. She is really wry and funny in a more comedic way then say The Roches were but there are definite similarities. And in the end, almost seeming to be doing so without meaning it, she was highly comedic, recally a movie with Jack Webb and Peggy Lee where she sings I Can Sing a Rainbow which is the title of Rachelle’s show. She is a Pisces and was dressed like the sea in waves of della robbia blue silkiness—a shirt, a dress, a tunic? All layers and scarves. What a great talent. She did our first ever show at Elmo in Chelsea back in the day.

Virgo 18° (September 9)

Today is a gymnast floor exercise. Packing, cleaning, hole-punching. Then we head into town and do bank and post office and wine shop and drop things at the restaurant and check into the hotel, which I’m glad we did early. We are in a pet friendly room next to an incessantly barking dog. After a few hours, sitting by the pool and otherwise getting our heads on straight, the incessant barking necessitates our changing rooms which was a godsend. Thank you barking dog because the new room is so so so much better. We almost fantasize about staying here by choice. During the day so many people RSVPd they were coming and so many of them didn’t. It was Mrs. Dalloway’s worst nightmanre. DS was a bit over the top.We walked all the way to the party (and back again). The food was delicious of course and it was very nice that the usual suspects showed up for us but I never understand these people who pledge and then pull out. They don’t understand the meaning of: we need to get an exact head count so that the restaurant knows how much to make. It not only makes me look bad when folks just don’t show, but it is really such a shame to see food and the effort put into it go wasted. I can think of a dozen off the top of my head who cancelled when I limited the list to thirty. I won’t name call, but some took up a lot of time working out the particulars of their RSVP I don’t know what is wrong with people. I am going to make major changes this year I can tell you that. JCM was no help at all and he said he would put a mention on social media. People are so unreliable. Where are the JVBs and TMs of the world? Since when did they drop out of the picture too. OMG I am Mrs. Dalloway. Meanwhile, who doesn’t like Virginia Woolfe? And if you don’t what does that really say about you?

I think Trevor is adorable. I am so glad he and Rachelle are here. And Paisley is the eternal doll. So blessed to have the quality crowd we had. DS drinks too much and was unruly. His husbear and friend are adorable and I really thought they would feature heavily in the week but alas they faded into nothingness. Nobody from this night who said they would come to my show actually came. Which is really a pity. I won’t say insulting because nobody has to do anything. But I feel there is this assumption that we are not going to deliver. That I’m not going to deliver. Fuck it I was pretty good. I’m not a musical sensation, but was I suppose to be?  I thought my show was thought provoking and people in the audience (all strangers, which in retrospect was like: thank gods), this one couple in particular (one tenth of my audience) made it a point to really tell me so afterward. That’s just as I predicted it. I know I’m going out of sequence because my performance it tomorrow, but you don’t think I’m actually doing all I’m doing and writing this week’s Blague in real time. Please get over yourself if you think that’s happening. I need to look good again. I’ll say that again. I need to look good again. But next week when I’m alone I will go on a bit of a bender as I do when alone in the world. So alone in the world. I feel myself the personification of the adage: out of sight out of mind. I often wonder if it weren’t for me makin an effort with friends would I ever see them. I do think my tendency for despair has been willing out. I probably should do something about that. I don’t think it has to be too late.

Virgo 17° (September 8)

Well, the thing is it is really ten days later, so my goal today is to get through ten entries in just this one day. On this actual day, which is a Sunday, I am of course working hard to get everything ready for heading to Provincetown for a week. I’m curious to know what’s on my own mind. I want to rest and repair. I have definitely been overdoing it and need some kind of respite. I will have dropped the ball on social media; one can’t do everything but if I had more presence of mind I would have tackled that more carefully. My feelings, such as they are, are pretty solid. Oh gosh I have to move this along and just say what’s on my mind. I have had some pretty fierce feelings over the years and I have been trying to hard to reign in my negative impulses. It’s going to take some work I can tell you but I know that I am not going to be disallowed from achieving success in this way. I will write and perform my own show because an asshole of a millenial has dropped out. I find this certain stark character to be trouble and an overcommunicator and see him as being very much in line with those who seek to reach around me. I’m not going to let that happen at the same time I don’t give a shit. I have so much on my plate and I need to get my own pooh in gear. Or else it isn’t going to happen.

I have to write to Joe and say hello Joe. Look we have been trying to figure out a replacement scenario for MR our MD with whom we have a very easy rapport and who knows us inside and out and given the fact that the show is so close to Christmas and on a weekend where our audience is probably largely already out of town slash with family. These two dynamics are making it rather impossible for us. Let’s start again Hi So and and So. As mentioned, because JVB isn’t doing the usual run of Xmas shows at Joe’s, MR has taken a touring gig with TM, leaving us without our own MD. We have been trying to figure out a replacement and we have had substative conversations with some folks who could substitute, the best possible scneario of performing with a viable substitute constitutes meeting a totally new band for one rehearsal only the day before our performance and we are feeling that this won’t be a recipe for success. So with heavy heart we feel we must cancel our S+C show this year and we say heavy heart because it is one of the key appearances in our year that have made our hearts sing the most. We are already speaking with MR about next year; and we hope you won’t hold this cancellation against us and that we can simply skip this year and resume again next when, surely, JVB will be performing and MR will be in NYC and not touring. We can easily drop in with Matt and our band and rehearse once or twice before a performance. And I think that is how we deal with Ben too.

In terms of my friends the answer is easy. Having gotten the job after all we will look at another time when we can possibly do this sort of thing. The truth is I feel completed divided on the subject. I do want nothing more than to make this happen and it would probably good for me. Then again I am truly traumatized so should the job come through I don’t know that I will regret the outcome all that much. I love the fact of nurutring relationships but do I have to work so hard. The example I mainly have from others is that a good deal amount of self absorbtion might indeed be healthy. I have to take my laundry in off the line and make my own dinner. I have to clean my own house. These are realities of summer living and they are my favorite things. I don’t mind even not having a dishwasher here and doing everything as diy as possible.
