To reiterate, speaking as someone who has himself performed in front of an audience, as well from knowing a multitude of musicians (a few of which we both know mutually; I’m assuming that you know by now that we run in very similar circles), actors, and other types of performers, what’s most important is the end result, whatever that ends up on-stage and whatever the audience is given to absorb. I can certainly respect and appreciate passion, but that’s almost a given for anyone who gets up there in the first place, along with the desire or intention to entertain and perform. As harsh as it may seem, in the end, no amount of passion or enthusiasm can fully offset a show that’s also flawed/not according to plan/boring/bad/whatever.

But that, as they say, is showbiz, right? Perhaps I wouldn’t have been so negative if everything had gone right on your end. Or maybe my opinion would be the same? Whose to say really.

First off, you can characterize me as just another stupid blogger hiding behind his computer all you like (which to be totally honest, and perhaps for your future reference, is something that’s lost all its meaning in this day and age), but it’s not like I was ultra harsh or needlessly negative with my assessment/rundown of the event. I basically called it as it was.

And not to bore you with my long list of credentials, including activities that are significantly on par with putting together a show much like you did, but at the end of the day… hate to sound like a jerk once again, but… any problems that happens behind the scenes ultimately does not and should not matter to the audience. Period. Excuses are excuses, which totally sucks, but any seasoned performer, which you make yourself out to be, knows this brutal fact already. You just roll with the punches and put on the best show possible, which I guess is what you tried to do.

Again, not sure why you’re so upset. In the end, if a few not so nice sentiments regarding your efforts, when it comes to fake grappling in the middle of a park in a kiddie pool filled with blood, is going to upset you, I don’t know what else to say.

Thanks for the head’s up btw, though I’ll more than likely have to miss it due to a speaking commitment, but good luck. Oh, and if you need higher res versions of any of the pics I posted for that press kit, let me know, I should have them.
