Closure Too Sweet
The weekend has left me reeling. Not neccessarily in a bad way, but reeling none the less.
Drew arrived a bit earlier than anticipated on Friday. He met up with Todd and they came over to my apartment. We left alittle early to head down to the area where my show was. We went to get a beer before the show, but Drew is one of those friends that gives you a buzz the first time you see them after being apart for awhile. Don't get me wrong, I drank a Stella. I was just in the giddy, chatty, hyper mode long before any alcohol was into my system.
The show was a success. Not our best, but certainly not our worst. It had some funny moments, and I was even in a few of them! That was awesome, especially since at least eight of the audience members where people I had invited.
Afterwards, Drew, Todd, Sarah, Rich, and I went to a bar within walking distance of my apartment. We stayed out late, but never noticed the time. Being there, surrounded by some of my best friends, I felt as happy as I have in a very long time.
We all went out again on Saturday night. Drew stayed until Sunday afternoon, and even then he made no haste in his departure.
They'll never understand how much this weekend meant for me.
I had excepted it awhile back that I had to leave this place, and the art that I have pursued here. Having them here to witness one of my last shows though, really helped me to find a much greater value in this entire experience.
