This weekend was full and jam-packed. But, in the midst of all that craziness I spoke with an individual about the whole venue situation. The conversation went something like this (names were changed, of course, lol):
Me: Hey, did you get my text?
Messenger: Yeah, and I know that she is focused on another project that is coming up in December. And she hasn't read your entire play. And when she finally gets to it, she still has to go and speak with Mr. Big-Wig and wait from a response. And Mr. Big-Wig is dragging his foot on anything right now because of the financial status of everything.
Me: Oh, ok.
Messenger: So, you should probably just look somewhere else, to be on the safe-side. Who knows when she will get back to you. Probably won't be until after December.
Me:
I think what made me so upset was the fact that this individual (the person I was waiting on, not the messenger) sought me out and asked about the possibility of doing my play in this venue. So now I have lost a month of looking elsewhere and raising necessary funds.
I was upset about the fact that I lost having a free venue, light, sound, and crew. But, Ms. Renee Williamson and Mr. Ryan Harrison helped me get back on track! Thanks guys. I may be down, but not out. It's a set back, but I will face those. So onward I go. Yes, this sucks, but if this is a strong desire of mine, I can't let anything stop me. I leave you with two quotes that I think really apply now.
What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first steps to something better.
Proverb
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
William Shakespeare
