2) To list ten things a person would have to do to understand them as a person.

Here’s what Lori Goss had to say:

______________________________

1) List ten things a person would have to do to understand you as an artist.

Enjoy all four seasons.
Be able to feel music.
Listen to George Winston’s Winter album.
Listen to the Charlie Brown Christmas album.
Give birth.
Write in a journal every day.
Feel a migraine coming on when you’ve extended yourself emotionally.
Experience life through a child’s eyes.

2) List ten things a person would have to do to understand you as a person.

Enjoy a simple cup of coffee and be excited about it.
Clean your house – and no shoes inside please! Think of where they’ve been!
Play with toys from your childhood.
Look through photo albums and tear up with happiness.
Keep yourself out of pictures. No one captures your best face and they don’t see you the way you see yourself.
Clean your house again. It’s a weekly chore. You can’t do it once and think it’s good for a month.
Adopt a doggie or kittie and love them.
Have a child and then understand what “going without” means because of sacrificing for them.
Eat 1500-1700 calories a day.

What has Mr. Steve gotten himself into this time?

Let’s find out:

That Mr. Steve. What will he do next? Stay tuned and find out.






I love you.
Dave Goss, Managing Director

. . . That in order to properly put something broken back together, it takes time, patience, and a steady hand. Anyone who chose not to vote yesterday because they’d already decided the change Obama had promised was never going to happen should be ashamed of themselves. Patience really is a virtue. The best things really do come to those who wait. Thanks a lot, guys. You’ve set us back even further. And by the way, crybabies, want to know some of the things our president has done since he’s been in office? Follow this link:

That’s right. This one.

. . . That “The Walking Dead” is going to rock. Seriously.

. . . That I would sooner trust Comedy Central to be straight with me about the state of our country than I would just about any so-called “news” station.

. . . That your comb-over looks ridiculous. Stop kidding yourself and accept who you are.

. . . That the fact that I don’t like to wear shoes with laces because I don’t want to waste time lacing them tells me that I need to slow down and practice what I preach.

. . . That the world would be a much happier place if more people traveled by zipline.

. . . That with today’s technology, it shouldn’t take until tomorrow to figure out the results of an election.

. . . That you should stay tuned for the next episode of “The Trials and Tribulations of Mr. Steve.” Totally.

I love you.
Dave Goss, Managing Director

Someone moved my cheese.
How am I supposed to fart?
I will cut the bread.

Here’s what Amanda Rountree had to say:

______________________________

1) List ten things a person would have to do to understand you as an artist.

Read my teaching notes.
Find the connections in everything.
Play with the audience.
See both the show I did in the aged turret in Switzerland and in the beer tent at the Kentucky State Fair and observe the similarities.
Paint with calm impatience.
Turn an agonizingly long primal yell into a funny story.
Taste words.
Be affected by what you think the world is trying to tell you.
Journal about it, sleep on it, and then make it into a show.
Make up a song about fruit and perform it for your plants.

2) List ten things a person would have to do to understand you as a person.

Accidentally move to a new city. Then live there for several years.
Become vegan–or at least vegetarian.
Be tormented and bullied by a cruel caste system in grade school and then blessed and honored with amazing friends thereafter.
Journey alone to Ruby Beach.
Recycle. Even if you live in a city that doesn’t make it easy. Sigh.
Walk. A lot.
Allow yourself an uncontrollable laughing fit (30 minutes or more) now and again.
Work no less than twelve ridiculous jobs while you follow your dream.
Feel guilty that you’re not doing more.
Feel bad that you made yourself feel guilty. Take a nap. Then start the cycle over again.
