I had an emotional weekend.
As we were walking to the theatre with stuff for The Constructivists
Gruesome Closing/Season Announcement Party, my 20-year friend Matt was walking behind me and the thought struck me that I would have people from all my life cities there in the audience that night and there for the announcement of this theatre thing I started.
Manitowoc, Cedar City, Oshkosh, Chicago, all there.
And I made mention of it during the announcement because it was really special for me. And I almost broke right there. It's one of those life moments that make you feel really loved and appreciated. And whenever I feel down, like bottom of a barrel with no way out down, I'm now going to remember that moment, that one time people came from far and wide to celebrate this thing I started, and I'm going to remember that whatever loneliness is going on at that moment is probably just in my own head.
It's a life changer moment. Thank you, Friends.
