If I ever complain that people just aren't grasping the complexities of my work, will someone point out that perhaps these "complextities" are a figment of my imagination and perhaps I might add a little more story to my story? Either that or shake me by the shoulders and say "shut the fuck up and re-write the script, pretentiou-ass!"
(Ian, I know you're way ahead of me on this one.)
I can't believe that anyone for reals actually spouts that arty-snarky "they do not understand my work" crappity. But I've heard it at least five times over the past six weeks from the same person and I am dumbfounded. Way to welcome your audience, bitch-hole.
Today I survived by telling the director that it was time for our prayer circle in the booth before the house was opened. I don't know what it'll take next time.

Posted by: flamingbanjo at May 25, 2003 05:01 PMi've gotten some emails and phone calls (other than the ones from xjx, whom I'm more than happy to answer questions for ALL DAY) asking to help out and even attend meetings about the NEXT show. (sans offers of compensation)
thing is.... I've not gotten paid for THIS one yet. (like 2 months late)
audacity and sheltered-gets you many places i 'spose.

#1 Prayer Circle? I need to hear that story
#2 I've seen your work. It has nuance and subtlety.
#3 During his day, people didn't 'get' Van Gogh.
I was just thinking to myself, "Sure, I'll do that" and then I read the next line. Too late, you gave me permission.
