live show!
Thing about going to see live amateur performances is that there’s always a price to pay. Five at the door. Then, "Like my stuff?" (Artist opens long trench coat, and a cart falls out like one of the beds that falls down from the wall, already fully stocked with shiny, mesmerizing objects.) "I got two CD’s, one for 10 two for 15, support a starving artist…" If you really want to support the arts, there’s always a special show or three happening in any given month. Tickets are twenty dollars in advance, twenty five at the door, and don’t forget to buy one for a friend. On the way out of the venue, don’t forget to support the artisans selling their wares, jewelry and crafts. Craftsmen gotta eat too. Support the community. Support people trying to do something positive. Support, support, support.
Mm hmm.
I’m going to start hosting the "Sistah Ant Housing Fund" show, once a week, tickets are twenty in advance, twenty five at the door, and don’t forget to buy my CD, with 12 independently produced tracks of me explaining, among other things, why I haven’t been going out as much lately, the benefits of a spending plan, and the financial benefits of homeownership - it’ll change your life! All proceeds to benefit my closing costs (provided I can’t get the seller to pick those up), and thanks for your support, support, support.
In the meantime, I’ll just stick with the five at the door.
