(no subject)
Alcohol dulls the mind, and while that is usually exactly what I want after a week of hard thinking, I cannot afford to be slowed down at all.
My brain is racing, and I feel like I have so much to get out right now that if I actually sit down with a guitar or a pen and paper, I'm just going to let myself down.
But I had this idea. See, there are all these a cappella groups on campus, one of which I am a member of, and we periodically do these concerts where we sing for a group of students in these arches. We call them archsings, and they are a big part of Brown culture, as I see it.
Secondly, I am seeing all these posters up for Solo Shows, which are shows written by seniors that are one-man-shows performed around commencement. I saw my friend Lance's last year, and it really blew me away, so I am going to try to see as many as I can this year.
But I was thinking, I want to write one of those. Maybe not an hour long one that has a huge arc and climax, but certainly a little ten minute monologue to perform, and I don't have these studios available to me, so why not just perform in these arches? Maybe I publicize them, maybe just go there during high-traffic hours and start acting, but either way, just throw the theatre out in front of everyone, so that everyone who walks through that arch has to hear at Least a sentence or two of theatre before making it through.
And then if other people wanted to do it too, that would be the absolute best outcome, because it could become a regular part of Brown life, just the ability to go out to Wayland Arch and put on a free show for anyone who wanted to see it, and everyone who just happens to be passing by.
Anyway, it's not like I have anything that I specifically need to share with the world, but I am starved for performance opportunities and I want to force myself to write something. SO maybe if I had to write something it would be about my grandmom and a lot of my family and probably andrea and a lot of other things that sound stupid, like comic books and Ben folds and crap like that.
AHHH, ok, I need to go for a run, I sound like a complete idiot, and nothing I do will live up to these notions I have in my head, so I'm going to get out and think some more and then go see a Solo Show. More later.
