this is the space where i'll be doing my upcoming residency in july. it's really blank and open, mainly they've just been having gigs there. it's upstairs overlooking that grassy area near-ish to qv1 but before you cross the street. right near 78s. i'll be there for a short stop then i'll conclude the residency with my first solo show early/mid july. eek.
i love the windows, this overall venue is pretty huge, there's a stack of studio space that's being rented out short term right now, i think when they've finished cleaning it up and start in on the promo it's gonna be a pretty great venue. last i heard the ballroom were also opening up some rental space, that would be the dream. the dream where i put all of my disposable income to an excessively beautiful work space which results in me living under my desk at my day job. what a dream it would be.
speaking of my day job there is major mutiny going on right now. i've been really bummed out about how this semester is going, i put alot of extra work in for my students to get a good outcome but i really feel with all the chaos that i've had to pull back on one group in particular. they've already been dicked around so i know they're not especially happy and i really want to put more in but there just isn't the physical time with me already working nights and weekends to keep on top of my overloaded work schedule anyway. and while i know that, and the other staff know that, the students don't so they just think another one of the assholes which bums me out. if only they knew the drama! it's all become so demanding, one guy lost his shit at me cause i wasn't in at 8.32 when he was, he cornered me in the lift at 8.55 asking where the hell i had been! umm, it's my JOB man, i'm already here way more than i get paid for, i officially start at 9! leave me the hell alone before i've put down my bag and sipped my coffee. oh and i've gone back to red bull in the morning. i thought i was being super healthy when i switched to this thing called nutrient water. the label is VERY misleading, they get you all caught up in this witty banter before you roll the bottle around and realise it's pumped full of caffeine and there is a recommended intake that should not be exceeded. i may as well just be having my red bull! work is only bumming me out this much cause it's something i can actually articulate, the other stuff going to hell is way to complicated to even know how to deal with so it always ends up sounding like work is the bad thing when in reality it may be (flaws and all) the one thing keeping me semi-sane. how fucking screwed is that. i may jump ship, go on enforced stress leave when we have our work group counselling meeting and move into these calming white walls at palmcourt.
