A while back I talked about a show that I was writing and I finished the first rough draft or the first final draft, I guess I'll call it. About the same time I finished there was a festival coming up and also Pride stage so I decided to submit to both. The Pride stage theme is paint the town ruby seeing it the 40Th anniversary of Stonewall and I thought that doing a piece of my show "For the love of Judy" would be perfect.
I always hate submitting my stuff to festivals and events because I usually get rejected, though I did get chosen for "Gay life expo" last year. Now I'm waiting to hear back. I know in my mind these things are all political and about having the right exposure, its not always about the work itself but in my heart I feel like crap when I don't get chosen.
In the end I'll just do the show on my own but I guess its the support of your peers that mean something , a stranger reading your work and thinking its worthy of being seen and heard...
Now I'm waiting
XO, BT

I'm waiting with you, kid! And just remember that your worth as a person is determined by NO ONE else and your worth as an artist is NOT determined by one or two people who happen to have some power in certain circles...
