i’m currently in the process of trying to write a piece about the sulu series, an asian american performance series and collective i’ve been a part of since i got to new york. concurrently, i’m trying to get my head together, trying to balance the responsibilities of a son with that of an artist and of a student and of a teammate. trying, basically, to get my head together, decide what the trajectory of my life will be, now that i’m in my mid twenties, in that space that acts as a foundation for and springboard towards whatever my future will hold. fuck man, why can’t i just hit the lotto?
yes i’ve been writing, though not as much as i want to. and ass i am constantly reminded by my ozzie friend maggie, i don’t post nearly enough here. i’m thinking i might just force myself into posting something small everyday in the hope that at least this mite of discipline will get the creative juices flowing again. it’s been a weird week. lost the jits tournament i had been prepping for last week, getting ready for the new school year and tournament season coming up. scary.
i’m rambling.
i know.
my mind does this alot. it moves like blue electric angels, twisting, turning and barely avoiding collision. thought strands that overlap and undercut and never stay on track.
but let me get back to the point of this post before i accidentally segue into more of my loopy ideation or even my scandalously sordid thought patterns (though how they could not be sordid, being a healthy 20 sommat male, i do not know).
by the by, my ‘d’ key is broken, so if’n you should see ‘d’s’ missing anywhere in my prose, i beg forgiveness. or as much as i ever beg.
i’ll be at this forever if’n i don’t make the effort to return to the point. it’s one of those nights.
so…
i’ll be performing at the last sulu series so let me just post the poster an be off.
it’ll be the 19th of september. hope to see some of yall there.

September marks the 5th year anniversary of Sulu Series, and it also marks the last monthly show we will be doing. After this month we will be closing our doors (for now), but before we do that we have a great line-up for all of you. So please come on down for the finale of an amazing 5-year run.
