Checking In

[thehefner]

Back safe. Exhausted from hardy partying and four hours of sleep. Full Boulder thoughts tomorrow. It'll be a long post, touching on the following topics:

--Overall impressions of Boulder and the Fringe Festival
--How my shows went
--People I met and how they influenced me, for good or ill
--Crushing depression and creeping disillusionment
--The horrible recurring question, when it comes to the Hefner name: To Exploit or Not to Exploit?
--The dread beast known as marketing (or: finding the guts to not be utterly terrified of handing out fliers)
--Facing the fact that some people really don't fucking like nor get solo performances.
--Finding dignity and grace in the best way that I--and only I--can.
--One of the most purely Hefnerian moments I dare say I've ever experienced. I'm still reeling (in that, "remember to see the humor in the situation" kind of way).

So, yeah, lots of thoughts to get out. If you're interested, huzzah, I look forward to your thoughts. And if not, well, I'll just leave you with this observation from my connecting flight in San Antonio, Texas. I'm not three steps off the plane, and what oh what do I see?

A goth cowgirl.

I fucking love it.

Much-deserved sleep now.

you should probably try to keep cats_n_crying as a 'spare' free account.

My opinion for what little it is worth is to milk the name. You have it. It's yours. The other Hef can't do a thing about it no matter how much he wants to forget your father existed.

Isn't it too late for that? Isn't cats_n_crying gone and replaced now? Besides, what would I do with two accounts? I know some people work that way, but heck, I like having my all-in-one account. I'm an all-in-one kinda guy.

Oh, most assuredly it's mine. You're absolutely right. I'll happily exploit my own name to no end, and use "HEFNER" in big huge letters. But beyond that... well, I'll explain more fully next post.
