And I have been emailing for days now it feels like, trying to get people to participate in the project. All day, like 8 hour days of emailing and I’m not even kidding. It was really fun at first, really social. I went to openings all week, like 3 in a week and felt that I didn’t have to feel guilty about not being in the studio because I was working, I was talking to people about my project, getting people on board to interview. In fact that was the only thing I really could do with the project at that point. If I had gone to the studio I wouldn’t have had anything to do. Well, at least not for this project.
It has been social. And while it is fun there is only so much you can stand. I need to get back into my head and think about things and feel a bit more grounded again. But that won’t happen yet. There’s not enough time. I have 8 interviews lined up for the next three weeks and they will bring me to New York City, two different parts of Connecticut, the greater Boston region (of course) and western Mass. And I’ll be working my jobs like usual. ...
I am really looking forward to the interviews though. I think that will be fun and very interesting. I can’t wait to edit. And I can’t wait to play with the straight footage of the reception. Paint on it or whatever, though I’ll need to learn how to do that. I’m ready to MAKE something. I want to have something tangible to look at or hold that I made.
