Three more found...
Though all are bright red and black. It's curious that selection was either super long, super short or super old (read: shot elastic).
I managed to find three sort of middle, not quite long enough, but will have to work, options

Bake Sale
Fundraising is a necessary thing for so many things artistic endeavors and organizations. Gotta stack that funding up somehow.
For this piece, we're going to have a Bake Sale (and hopefully) multiple Bake Sales (if it works out how I hope)...it only seems to make sense.
The only catch is if you think back on the last bake sale you attended, it's always in conjunction with some type of event and at a place with high traffic ie game, work event, fair etc...

Ideas:
- NWDS and I've talked about having some sort of viewing/performance which would be great, but would need to figure out a venue...
- Late night - street meat esque - Bake Sale vending situation on Capitol Hill. It would have to be a rogue/travelling bake sale situation though unless I want to invest in a legit permit.
- Vending booth at Pike Place which would be GREAT! Just need to figure out logistics and whether the expense of it is do-able.
- Scrap the Bake Sale idea and having a high faluting car wash with lots o' leg, rain golashes and jackets in the middle of winter.
So if you like to bake and/or have any great ideas for us, holler.
Hmmm...
NW New Works Application Submitted
Check it off the list.
It was submitted on Friday. Just in time for Halloween festivities.
Keep your fingers crossed. I'll hear back in December sometime.

12 Minutes Max at On the Boards
Yesterday was the audition for the 12 MM at OtB. And I got the call last night from Brian Neel, one of the curators, saying we were accepted. Yay!
Anne, Teresa, and Maya were great, which for me, was not so surprising! There seemed to be a bit of nervous energy between the three of them and I can hardly blame anyone if they were nervous, as I was. Auditioning for anything is much more stressful than performing in an actual show. It's more intimate and because of that is harder to enter the performer mindset which is usually very comforting and for me is my happy place.
Another not so surprising, yet also rather surprising element of the audition was that I was more nervous than I've been in over a decade of performing in Seattle. Mostly because I wasn't a performer and had to actually speak to people about the piece. I also forgot Anne and Teresa's heels which was frustrating. (Seeing them put on the high heels is the best!) And we're talking shaking hands and voice nervous. Having the audition over and heading to rehearsal was a major relief.
Nice comments in Brian's message included that they (two curators and Sean Ryan from OtB) enjoyed the piece and that it is going to go at the top of the show because it's lively and dynamic. Wahooo!
I believe the section we auditioned was timed at just over 6.5 minutes which means that we have about 4 minutes to build in a very, very short period of time. But, we can do it! It was a really positive thing having other people see it (for the first time) in the current state and though I KNOW I will be -peeing my pants nervous- come showtime, am confident that the three ladies performing will put my nerves to rest.
