How amazing is this?

We’re in a transitional world right now if you’re in any kind of artistic field because the nature of distribution is changing. The models by which creators got their work out into the world & got to keep a roof over their heads & buy sandwiches while they did that, they’re all changing. I’ve talked to people at the top of the food chain in publishing, in book selling, in music, in all those areas - and no one knows what the landscape will look like 2 years from now, let alone a decade away. The distribution channels that people have built over the last century or so are in flux for print, for visual artists, for musicians, for creative people of all kinds - which is on the one hand intimidating & on the other immensely liberating.
The rules, the assumptions, the ‘now we’re supposed to’s of how you get your work seen & what you do then - they’re breaking down. The gatekeepers are leaving their gates. You can be as creative as you need to be to get your work seen. Youtube & the web & whatever comes after YouTube & the web can give your more people watching than old television ever did.
The old rules are crumbling & nobody knows what the new rules are. So make up your own rules.

Cancelled my cable today to increase productivity!
Then as the cable guy was leaving, he said I could still get channels 0-99 by plugging the cable into the back of my TV.
Mission = Totally Not Accomplished.
I want to know what it’s like….

What do we think? Yay or nay?
Thank you so much to everyone in Colorado & North Carolina for your hard work on the civil unions bill & Amendment One. Whether it be a stride forward or a minor setback, we grow stronger as a community - one that I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of. Because soon we will be equal & in time all will be right. Until then, we are showing this country & the rest of the world that we are human. We are helping them understand what it is to love. We are letting them know that we are not & refuse to be treated as Second Class Citizens.
