I'm a writer, performer, storyteller and nerd. This is part personal blog, part drop-off for professional stuff. If I was capable of separating the two, I swear I would.

 

Does practice make perfect?

chrisreblogs:

I don’t thing The Creek HAS to be low stakes just because no money trades hands.  I know I have had shows there that I have felt are high stakes.  But it does often get treated that way.  ”Oh, it’s just The Creek.”

We should change that.

Yup. It’s totally an attitude thing.

If memory serves, doing We Can’t Live in a Cave there felt high stakes. And, honestly, so did …For Richard Stands shows when we were hosting.

Yeah, I said it. Whatever. I appreciated you guys.

Shut up, Miles.
