Free Is Good

Black Forest put on a free show last night, (the show that will not die: Free Henry Goodbar, Telepath) and there was something pure and idealistic about it all. How anti-capitalist, how out of step; it was all "home made," and "down home." It's something like being part of a funky carnival, or a geeky circus, and the show was presented to a handful of guests as some kind of strange, and teetering gift. It was all quite satisfying. I'm thinking we are going to "peak," at the right time, that our little, wacky show is the right piece, at the right moment for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We're going to do another free performance again tonight. Everything else (all the rolling and tumbling of my existence) seems to fall into the background. As Roy Scheider, playing Bob Fosse, in "All that Jazz," would put it..."It's showtime, folks!"
