I’m sorry for my absence, big things have happened IRL!
I applied, interviewed, and got a new job!! It’s a huge pay raise, but a huge increase in responsibility. I’ll start it next Monday.
(I was also sick, and that’s never fun. I’m still getting over it, but it’s just about done, thankfully.)
What this means, too, is that I don’t know if I’ll be able to be as present in the fandom during the day. Probably not 😛 But it’s a big move up, and it means that I have to have a clearer separation between fandom and work time, and I hope I can figure out that balance.
ANYWAY so I’m sorry that I dropped a number of conversations here and stopped answering asks for the past few weeks bc I was wrapping up my projects at my old job, and then this week I’m mostly offline visiting with family to celebrate the new job, so I’ll still be mostly offline.
I miss you all, I’m thinking of you, and I will be back in some regular way as soon as I can. I apologize again for dropping conversations, please know that it’s not personal at all, it’s that real life took over, and I had to go back on a soft hiatus here in order to keep up with the real life stuff. I’m still lurking but I probably won’t respond to chat/asks until things are more stabilized ❤
//Hey Guys! So, I have never, ever, EVER in my life self-promoted on here, but I’m in a position to need to do so and I figured I would just put out the feelers for asking–no pressure if you can’t afford to help right now!
So, as some of you who know me in real life know, I am a theatre director and artist. I run my own theatre company, InBocca Performance (you can find us on FB, Twitter, IG, and at www.inboccaperformance.com). We have been lucky enough to be chosen to attend and be a part of the Boulder International Fringe Festival this summer (in August). It’s our first time doing a Fringe that isn’t our local one (Cincinnati), and it’s a pretty scary adventure. I’ve done lots of international work, but I’ve never dragged 7 actresses across the country or world, so this is a whole new kettle of fish.
The show is Charlie’s Girls, and it is about the young women of the Manson Family who committed atrocities for Charles Manson, bringing about the end of the summer of love in 1969.
If you love weird art, dark art, scary and bleeding-edge art, please consider supporting us. Even $5 gets you a perk with our campaign, and I’d be eternally grateful for your help and support.
“Our old rituals? No. That part of my life is over. I have no wish to resurrect it.
As for ‘fun’, the notion was anathema to our way of life. We permitted ourselves two pleasures: the twin trances of the blood and the Sabbats. I did enjoy those, even if it was a desperate kind of elation that animated us at those times.
After my ascension to the role of Coven Master, I participated less often in the dancing, being expected instead to preside over my flock in their revels. But I would join them occasionally, to reassure them of my faith. There was a kind of innocence to most of them. They truly believed we were all brothers and sisters. For a while, so did I. There was some peace to be had in that.”
Write because you want to communicate with yourself. Write because you want to communicate with someone else. Write because life is weird and tragic and amazing. Write because talking is difficult. Write because it polishes the heart. Write because you can. Write because you can’t. Write because there is a blackbird outside of my window right now and oh my god isn’t that the best start to the day? Write because you’re trying to figure yourself out. Write because you might not ever figure yourself out. Write because there still aren’t enough love poems in the world.
