That's Wazzup!

New thing #13: America is on the Stage. I went up to davis to check out America is on the Stage presented by FILAH and it was really cool. I was a tad out of place, but I went with the intention of finding actors! What I got out of it was much more... even though I'm still looking for actors :( What I got was the inspiration by these students who are tapping into their artistic side. There were a couple of short plays performed which reminds me of the spirit of Bindlestiff's Stories High, but a really good outlet. A great time out!

But going up there has also reconfirmed my urgency to produce my play, but to keep writing and writing and putting them on. The artists up in this little stage, proved that there needs to be more written for and by them, and for the Filipino-American community in general. The reason I started writing was because I didn't see enough theater things out there that I could relate to on a cultural level. At least with Bindlestiff, there's an opportunity for me to grow as a writer and really say what I want to say and not have it editted down to a "concept". sorry had to get that off my chest. But yeah, I needed to see and feel the need for something I want to do... and America is on the Stage proved that to me.

New thing #14: I had Pita Sandwich with Babaganouche from Pita Pit. I got to Davis early, so my lil bro and sis took me to Pita Pit in downtown. It was different, new, healthy, and mighty tasty.
