Oh, that explains it (the poster). You can tell I’m really up on my entertainment news, right?

Sadly (well, happily), I’m moving to Virginia next week, so you missed your chance at the buy-a-butch-a-drink thing.

Ha! Yes, they took the posters down because the show closed in NY in January, so now it’s just the tour. I’m bummed I didn’t think to write up my trip sooner! Although it was a SUPER last minute, crazy I-can’t-really-afford-this kind of thing. Next time for sure!

Aw, man, you should’ve said something about being in NYC. I would’ve bought you a beer and given you the elder butch shoulder bump. Well, given the height disparity, it would’ve been a shoulder-to-elbow bump, but still.

Also funny, I was just saying to my partner, “Thank god they finally took the War Horse poster down!” It was up at the train station for months–I need more variety while I’m waiting on the platform.

Just sending out my love and support! I LOVE “masculine” “butch” “boi” women and I think they should be more present in the media. Much love!

Hey, Max–I was going to write you an encouraging e-mail, but really, I don’t have any wise words of wisdom. Well, maybe…read back through your blog and you’ll find of plenty of evidence that you *can* do this, even if (even though) you’re in over your head. I’m not sure if you’ll ever hit the point where you don’t feel like you’re scrambling. You don’t strike me as someone who will just sit in the same place and let the wheels spin. The more new challenges you try, the more times you almost drown before saving yourself.

I think maybe you just get used to the drowning feeling and teach yourself to believe that you will be able to swim to the other side. I hear this is a lot from my colleagues, everyone is always thinking, “Uh oh, this is the time I’m going to fail, I knew it was coming!” and then we miraculously pull through. I went through it a bit with a project recently, trying something new, but I’m getting better at ignoring the drowning feeling, telling myself it’s an illusion (this time, anyway).

If it makes you feel any better, my partner and I have probably forgotten more anniversaries than we’ve remembered over the past twenty years.
