In other news, I've been in California
a week. I've been here for a Fringe Festival in Fresno California.
That's been going great, I've met some amazing people and my show has
developed quite nicely. I doubt I'll leave with money in my pocket,
but with this new show I have the opportunity to enter into new
markets and reach new audiences. So that's a thing. Is it Kevin Bruce
level of good? Probably not... but really, I don't know if this
should could be that. Is it feel-good storytelling that the whole
family can enjoy? Ayep.
This festival also reminded me of how
much I'm loved. This is important, and I don't take it lightly.
People have been coming out of their lives to show me support and to
say things like “If not for X, I'd be there” and these people are
the people who would be there... if not for X. I never asked them
too, I never expected them too, it's just a “Holy cow, Myque is
doing a thing!” and here they are; or would be if not for X.
If that last paragraph didn't make
sense, let me summarize. People were willing to go out of their way
to see this show, and people are clamoring for this show to play in
Independence.
So often I feel alone, or more
correctly, separated from those that loved me once. It's deeply good
to find out some still do as passionately as before. It drives me
forward, and makes me want to do the things I can not do on this
trip... see all the people I've loved and left behind. Perhaps with
this show, and others like it, I can begin to build a means to visit
friends, and not fall into the traps that an excess of travel have
led me to before.
Perhaps, my friends, this is the
beginning of my Time on the Road.
Won't Dorris be surprised.
