So I've got my first day off since all con craziness. I'm feeling better after sleep and food and a few days of decompression. Space lounge rocks, Shriners suck, I'm done bitching or really talking about that whole thing, I guess. My weekend was strange and stressful and a rather inopportune time to find out about strange things completely unrelated to the convention. I'll leave it at that, and see how I feel about the whole mess by next month or next year or just... later.

It's now time to kick into gear for Burning Man, and the score I need to finish, and the wedding I'm in, and the moving I'm doing in 2 weeks, and the Fineline show I'm playing the night before we leave for the desert. What, rest after Con? Hell, no, why don't I get myself involved in some Fringe Tech, too, since I've so much mythical free time? (At least there's One Thing I'm not involved in yet.) But then there's the bits that want to join the Y, too, and volunteer at KFAI. And find somewhere to get teaching experience and see how I like it, and maybe see about getting a real live certification so I could maybe find a real job (celias? how hard is this??), and look for music grants and learn how to use star5's old digital camera and find a place to put the Sensorium outside Con, and learn to wire LED's or circuit bend stuff... And And And... (sigh)

So today I slept a lot and then went to breakfast at the Seward with s4, and then I met jodi and Oliver at the Art Institute where we ditched jodi's boring class and sneaked into seeing one of the normally-you-pay-for-it exhibits thanks to bumping into old friend and Institute Employee, J. Hooray for free art! Hooray for rambling pseudo-sentences!

Right now I find that I'd really like to take the rest of my alone-afternoon and work on some music or something. Pity my speakers aren't hooked up and that my mixer, keyboard, cables, and FX processor are inaccessible, having been transported to two different houses (neither of which are mine) in post-con-crazy-loadout. I did get my monitor back, at least, so now I can use my own computer again...

Hmm. Yeah, it's tricky, 'cause the stuff that I'd like to teach isn't super-traditional, but it's becoming more and more popular. I found a job posting for the Arts High School for a music teacher that needs to know electronic music and traditional theory and recording and has either a jazz or classical background. I have all those things! And they said certification was only preferred... So I gave them my number, but dunno if I'd even be in the running 'cause I don't have any teaching experience, but MAN. That'd be so cool! I don't want to be a band director at all- I wanna teach artsy kids who are sick of normal high school (like I was) about how to use synthesizers and stuff. We'll see.

Oo! Oo! do that!! with that sort of laxness from the school, you should be able to get that one-week certificate thing. he did it at Century Community College in white bear, but i think lots of community colleges have it for not very much money!
good luck!
