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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Music Fest begins tomorrow. Expect some drunk posts this weekend, unless I’m too drunk to post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
