Step Aside

Step aside people the pity party is over.
Action taken!
I spent last night phoning every single connection that I have been offered. The list includes:
  • The lovely Roxanne's friends: Marisa (who might be able to hook me up with a place to stay before she heads to LA) and Dahlia (a beer later today)
  • Patrick (whom I met at the Blue Deer Center) son: Terry (message)
  • Patrick's friend Kurt's friend: Arthur Perley (message)
  • The lovely Jessica's cousin: Kate (message)

THEN:

I'm walking down the street this morning when I see one of the woman who were performing in the Theatresports show the other night and I can't stop myself so I say:

"Hi!" and she says:

"Hi" and kind of flinches since she thinks I want her to give me money but I say:

"I saw you in the Theatresports show the other night and I used to play in Cape Town and now I'm here for 3 months and I would love to hook up with you guys," and she says:

"Oh wow you're not going to believe this but I'm on my way to a workshop that's being hosted by KEITH JOHNSTONE RIGHT NOW, do you want to meet him?" And I'm like:

"NO WAY." and she's like:

"WAY."

So I went. And met all the players. And then I shook the hand of the awesome and amazing Keith Johnstone!

It's a beautiful day. Later I will go for a walk on the beach, and then head to the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park to shake the hand of Tutenkahmen.

All is well in SF.

"And what does it live on?"
"Weak tea with cream in it."
A new difficulty came into Alice's head,
"Supposing it couldn't find any?" she suggested.
"Then it would die, ofcourse."
"But that must happen very often," Alice remarked thoughtfully.
"It always happens," said the Gnat.
