Call for HELP!

Jan 31, 2007 18:56

Okay, so I just got a message from that New York fringe festival I was talking about a while ago: Apparently a spot has just opened up. That would mean that in Feb I would get back from Texas on the 23rd, do the Kibo (Human Rights Fundraiser) concert on the 24th, then have 2 weeks of rehearsal before running off for the festival from the 7th-18th.

how can you not? doing a shitty show is better than no show at all! if money is an issue, have a "send brent away" fundraiser party. it could at the very least help with the flight. besides, you have something BETTER to do?

It depends on reasons you want to do it vs. not doing it.

I've learned it's best not to rush a process because you only want to show your best. But at the same time, a perfectionist nature could hold one back from ever putting on anything because 'it's not complete'.

If you want the experience/fun/adventure/networking, then do it. If you want to make money, don't.

Funny you should mention this. I was just talking with Jon (of 'Boy Groove') today who pulled out of New York (CAFF) Fringe - I wonder if you got his spot? New York has another, non-CAFF Fringe, in August, that gets more exposure as far as I know.

I'm in a similar situation in regards to Montreal Fringe myself. I know it can be a tough decision.

That would probably be it. Wow, small world. Tell him thanks from me!

bitch, if you don't do it i'll cut you.
But seriously buddy, even if you can just say you put on a one man show in new york, come on.
hell, you could be the next Nia Vardalos.
and you love working under pressure, you're the king of no time.
it's a great show and it deserves another run, and why not in new york.

DO IT!

Do eet. if you don't then you'll be that guy that's like "yeah, I almost got a gig in New York once, you know, back in the day when I had opportunities like New York, but I didn't go, so now I only have memories of not going to New York.. so, are you gonna sleep with me or what?"
