In all the years I have thought about publishing a blog (and it has been years, let's hear it for procrastination), I generally hesitated because of a certain sense of not being able to live up to the standards of the established "blogosphere." In a way, all art requires the release of "what has come before." If one cared too mush about the last great production they witnessed and allowed that experience to cloud their vision, they may say, "I'll never be able to pull off what those folks did."
Well, Fuck That. No more Gatekeeper Mythology. This is what the Russians call Samizdat'. Self-Publishing. I may as well take advantage of not having to rely on someone else to open the door for me. This particular door has been wide open for a long time now.
My hope is that I will be able to grow and evolve my style through this process. I am aware enough to know that these first few months will probably be looked at further down the road as the learning curve. I'm ready to learn.
So, I'll open it up. What do you want to read? Stories of my youth? Stories of all the types jobs I've had? My political/spiritual/social opinions? Anecdotes from my day?
I am taking a risk to allow you in to my creative process, but as an Audience lover, I do want to thrill you. Don't get me wrong though, abuses will not be tolerated.
Have a great day, Jon
I would love to hear stories from your youth (up through yesterday) and anecdotes from your day: anything that strikes for even the briefest moment to make you marvel/ponder/gawp.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the addition of theater work you are doing. You tell me about the cool stuff you are working on here and there. Maybe some pictures while you work. You would also be helping to promote worthwhile projects you are involved in.
ReplyDeleteYou know I always like stories of your youth... http://vimeo.com/19377585
