Just read Joolz's blog. She says last night's show was TEH SUCK. We were up against a lot of troublesome factors last night. For starters, t'was the Saturday before Halloween, and everyone in Austin preferred to attend parties, imbibe, wear costumes, and perhaps mack the fuck out instead of attending one of the city's numerous improvisational offerings. Totally understandable, and in the future we will remember not to book shows on such a fortuitous date. Second, we did not get listed in the Chronic. That's buttfuck suicide right there, unless you're famous, in which case it's cool. Was it not just a week ago that we had a sold-out crowd at our fifth anniversary show? Are we not awesome?
Part of being an artist is sometimes being Teh Suck. Not dwelling on it or letting it color your future endeavors is the only way to get past it. My puppets got their pride majorly hurt this week. Sock's been looking really gloomy, lying folded next to Bob's soldering gun. Snail doesn't want to talk about it but I know my dudes are hurting. They really want to impress. GGG is fucking golden. We rock it so hard that yeah, last night's mediocre show to an audience of eight with no house music (oops) was a turd in the punchbowl of greatness. We were down half the cast and playing at a new venue after hours is hard. Damn hard. But like a phoenix with hot tits, we will rise again. We are solid as a rock and any Geegster setback is a temporary setback. Trust the we are great.
Sorry I went all mega-smart-ass. Library: The Musical is the only time that I get to use my MLIS to the fullest these days.
I got some good notes on POE from my writey group today and AITS (novel #2) is going well, with the really-horrible-date written to its oogy specifications. Tony Spinelli is a freak and is totally mean to Carol.
