3.1

friday was one of the longest days i have experienced recently (my days will start getting longer and harder as we get closer to shows opening and with the additions of my new jobs.)recently i have been leading a very leisure lifestyle, i wish it could continue.
anyway, friday i went and sat at the event group office for a few hours, then buntport had a meeting, so i headed over to the theater. our meetings these days consist of some organizational business and then creative blabla. that day we were trying to outline our shows. it is helpful and important and oh so hard when you aren't totally into. people get irritable, bored etc. and it takes forever, especially when you get close to finishing and then you remember that there is a whole other show to outline. the shows are partially written but the plot and specifics are still in the air we'll see what happens by tuesday. at least they have names now... Horror: the transformation and Realism: the mythical brontosaurus.
then we went up to boulder early to do a little guerilla theater and try to get an audience at the rest of our shows. i handed out our bribes/flyers (with candy) at our venue and the other kids went and stood on pearl st. mall, looking up and pretending they're in an elevator. we got rid of all of our shwag, i just hope some people come. then we did a show. then we went over to the fringe office and did this "late show" interview with some other fringe artist and it took FOREVER. we were leaving just as the bars let out in boulder and were witness to a girl fight of epic proportions. they were swinging and yelling and even the bouncer was all in one girl's face yelling. ahhhh boulder, peaceful hippies or couch-burning frat boys? you decide.

saturday, we made some shirts to sell at kickball on sunday, it was really fun, i am not sure why i am not silk-screening shit all the time. i could make some cool stuff. i wish joey was in denver, we could start an art collective and sell stuff. i might have to do it without him... we'll see how it goes. after t-shirts the birthday business continued. stephen and justin's birthdays are close enough for them to throw a joint party, lucky because neither one of them would have motivated by themselves and we would have just gone to dinner and dancing or something that we do all the time. but instead there was a seven deadly sins challenge/party. the sins i pick out of the hat were envy, vanity and gluttony. i'll start with gluttony. we went to the rodizio grill and ate so much meat and sides that i couldn't breathe and could barely stand. the challenge was to eat until you felt like you were going to vomit, and boy howdy, did i feel ill. 1 lb. of meat, fried bananas, mashed potatoes, rice, green salads, meat salads, fruit, bread, GROSS. all of the sins were very complicated and probably not that interesting but it was a very fun night, playing games with friends. i was reminded how lucky i am to know these people. we were doing toasts to the birthday boys but i chickened out so i'll put them in here:
stephen, i am so blessed to have you as a friend, to be able to count on you when it is important and to be a part of your family. don't forget that your dreams are important and when you figure out what it is you truly want, go for with everything you have, we will be behind you, in support, not envy, or jealousy, tears of joy will send you off. but until you are sure what you want, i'm keeping you here, california can't have you.
justin, remember when we didn't know each other, it wasn't that long ago but it seems like a different time. what would i do if i didn't talk to you everyday? you have found a place, you can't get rid of us now. you will find your purpose, soon enough, enjoy the journey while you can. mad love.
there is a bit of sap for everyone, it is really great because they will probably never see those toast, whatever.

sunday: i had a bit of a lazy day...breakfast with marc and then we went to tattered cover and wizard’s chest. i did some grocery shopping and such, and then i headed to boulder once again, the show was fine, that is really all i have to say about it. then yet another birthday party...my dear robs turned 29, she had a pirate scavenger hunt type thing. we missed the hunt part (because of the show) but made it to the nice ass loft downtown, where it all ended. had a lovely time with some people i don't see that often, i mean besides buntport, some other theater people from around town etc. i had some awkward conversations with people i haven't seen in years and then decide to leave because i was super tired (and it was over.) but instead of going home and to bed, i stopped by sputnik to see some kickbawlers, and marc (also a kickbawler,but the real reason i went by.) this tired girl proceeded to stay until 1:30 and drank too much, who do i think i am. i had some fun though and i am happy i was there. my recent mission was to meet new people, make new friends, and though it is taking a long ass time, i think i might be getting there,slowly.
