The Geegsters got rejected from a festival today. Part of me is like, whatever, win-some-lose-some, but the other half is like, "what a pack of no-taste tards, rejecting US?" Indeed, so confident in the quality of our product, I am loathe to be humbled by this event. I am not moved to go over areas where the Geegsters should work to improve--indeed we have several, but to be rejected by this festival (there I said it--it wasn't Chicago or Del Close, fwiw)...is it personal?
I'm the only conceited elitist beyotch in the troupe. Maybe I half-assed the application?
Did I not provide aid and comfort to these people when they were in our city? Did I not make sure they had ample pizza and beer and a pillow to rest their heads?
Perhaps they don't like ladies?
I wasn't even planning to go, but still...
I also got a rejection for a job I applied for (didn't even get an interview!) and am awaiting my third rejection (they always happen in threes).
Going to Chapel Hill in 3 days...
Posted by Zerd at February 5, 2007 04:48 PMWe got rejected, too, assuming it's the same festival. I'm aching for my first out-of-town festival with my troupe. I know we can do Austin proud.
Posted by: Roy at February 5, 2007 06:35 PMMy pet theory is that they don't like narrative, which would rule out both of our troupes. The more likely scenario is that they had a limited amount of space, and Coldtowne was already filling the Austin quota.
