Ideas for 2009.
Looking back at a year’s worth of posts here at Tumble Like You Give A Damn, I’ve come up with this list of projects and other things to do in 2009.
Finish writing curriculum for and begin teaching The Art of Short-format Storytelling at the Twin Cities Experimental College.

Actually, it got trounced in a landslide 67 to 8 vote AGAINST making “Twincy” the official nickname of our fair cities. But you know what? I think this is one case where, despite our better judgment, we’ve created something that will be with us for a long time to come.
Whether you for for it or against it, against it before you were for it, or even for it before you were...

Today
Spent the morning measuring bathrooms on a site visit (about 20 of ‘em). Spent the last 2 hours at Intermedia Arts’ SOTA emergency townhall meeting.

He stops on the corner, positions his crate, and grabs his boot rope. The first part of his ritual looks like a child dangling...
