Saying yes to things I want

[labelleizzy]

I got an invitation to the spoken word stage out at Burning Man and I'm really looking forward to bringing some of my poetry and a couple of my stories out and performing them. It's been years since I've been on a stage and longer since I performed my original material.

I've been trawling through my archives here, looking for work under the "personal cartography" tag and "here be dragons" tag, the "face the fear and do it anyway" , and "writing is better than therapy" tags. Turns out I have quite a lot of good stuff that I would be happy presenting to an audience with a little light editing and perhaps some context.

I can't believe I'm not afraid of doing this! I'm so excited!

BTW my Playa name, legitimately, is Words. 😆😆😆

Awesome!

So where are you camping this year? MASH is at 3:15 & Bacchus; I'm working DMV 11-6 through Wednesday, but will be "home" the rest of the week.

Oh hey, I forgot that you Burn too!
We're placed at 415& H (I haven't looked at the street names yet!)

Also if you work at DMV do you know MEPS, who I think goes by Huggable? I think she's painting the exterior panels for the DMV this year.

I LOVE MEPS SO HARD. She's been running our Art team for a few years now; she borrowed some warehouse space here a couple of years ago to do some of the painting, and it was so awesome to see her more than just while we were in the dust.

And I think H is Hyacinth this year.
