you: "you are stepping on my toe."
me: "sorry. as I was saying, let's branch out. Just not me, because I don't have time. You, mainly."
you: "woof!"
me: "wait, you are my dog!"

i havent hung with the vortex peeps in a while (and they are a super fun, fucking nuts group, bonnie collum specifically is a really awesome lady), but i wanted to put this out there -

they arent interested in traditional american judeo-christian society crap. which is awesome, but not for the shy.

i have done the following while performing in a production at the vortex:
1. dressed in all vinyl and sang through a vocal modulator
2. been naked in a hot tub with other naked hot tubbers
3. eaten magic brownies

the vortex is good times, but not for the traditionalist or faint of heart.

if you take are interested in this position, you will be or around naked folk at some point. so start hearting your gens.

werd.

Yeas, you are right. I was worried for a second that I had called the theatre by the wrong name in my very application, but no, it's okay.
