A couple of months ago, Project:Motion had a fundraiser in Cooper-Young. I got there about 7 on a Sunday night, so I had been drinking for 8 hours already, having started at Sleep Out’s for brunch at 11 am. Therefore, I was pretty hammered when I got there, even more so after an additional three glasses of wine. I had just been offered the City Schools job that I now have, at a substantial pay increase above what I was making at the time. So, on my way out the door I saw a pledge form and thought, “What the hell.” I donated 50 bucks.
Tonight I went to Project:Motion’s dance performance, Metallurgy, and discovered my name on the back of the program, one of about a dozen listed as a “Community Producer.” Wow, that makes me sound important, like I’m a real patron of the arts! Totally didn’t expect that. Actually, when I donate money to these things I usually prefer to do it anonymously, because I don’t like the idea of giving just to be known as someone who gives. But, it’s a small community dance troupe. I don’t mind.
Before the show I had dinner at the Blue Monkey, and I’m pleased to report that the twice baked potato is still the key to the entire operation.
Music Fest begins tomorrow. Expect some drunk posts this weekend, unless I’m too drunk to post.
