Carving Narrative Out of Noise: The Mess, the Message, the Methods. I wasn’t living a double life; I was living lots of lives simultaneously, overlapping, melting and leaking into each other.
I completely get the interlocking selves from the past with barely a clue from actual memory. I love the intersection of theater, CBGBs, stripper clubs, college. How are we still here? Very happy you are. Love this.
Through it all though, you were a writer. You may or may not have realized it at the time. But that’s what writers do. We take notes. You’ve been writing your story all along, and yours is the only interesting spreadsheet I’ve ever heard of. 🩷
I think I need a whole book on the lion trainer/unicycle-riding, basketball-playing men. Also, I absolutely love that we have connected as adults and have found so much in common, because my life has been so totally vanilla compared to yours, and if we met in the 80s, I would have bored you senseless and you would have scared me.
Completely hooked! Give me fragments, I’ll wolf them down 💥 Just found you through Open Secrets and am obsessed x

I had no idea I was still living with my parents when I worked at CBGBs. Total badass, living w mom & dad in the ‘burbs. Sheesh.
