March – upcoming performances

So it’s been a minute since I logged in and wrote a blog post. Sorry, folks! Lots on my mind and plate and too much to write about in such a public sphere. But I will say that behind the scenes I have been working on my themes for 2012. [applause and exclamations here] “Show up” is one of them and can be applied to numerous aspects of my life. For example, the professional job search; I can’t just wish for a new job to land on my lap, I have to show up and actually write cover letters and network. It’s also about giving myself the opportunity to change my own life. I’ve cried about the lack of performances in the past year; I’ve placed my own art and performance on the back burner while I manage Sulu DC. But no more! I have several gigs lined up this month including one in Colorado thanks to @MsTSTanny. Check them out below:

Saturday, March 10, 12-3 pm

I do want to thank the Christine Chen for inviting me (and Sulu DC) to perform at the OCA-NoVA’s Annual Lunar Year Banquet tonight. It was an awesome event and the crowd was truly wonderful. Many thanks to all of the people who bought my book for your support and kind words. It means the world to know that my pieces resonated with you all. (I should have brought more than 5! That’ll teach me.)

See you at Bloombars and maybe Colorado!
