We raised cash and consciousness

by David LeBarron

The Kageno benefit was last week. Wow it was a lot of work! But we raised around $300,000! This much needed money will go to Banda Village in Rwanda and help with clean water, healthcare, food, eco-toursim, and education. I am so proud to be a producer and emcee for this yearly worth while cause. One of these days I'll get to Africa in the mean time I'll do what I can from here :) I'll be shooting the Kageno story soon. Can't wait to post that. If you have a couple extra bucks click the link and make a donation. ...

My Oprah Moment

by David LeBarron
performance
Well that's what my friend called it. I performed at Apt 3F last Friday and it went amazingly! People laughed, cried, and we all collectively grew. It was tangible. At the end of the piece, I give out rocks that represent "home" and empowerment. I almost started crying when everyone's hand went up.

Hear a story of a great warrior protecting his true love..who happens to be a guy. It seems so weird until you break it down like that, doesn't it? I've been invited to speak at Homo_centric on Thursday Oct 20th at 7:30pm! I'm telling the story of Mary-Anne and Ginger and them trying to get married. Although this story will be intended for children NOTE: this isn't a kids event....

Writing frenzy

by David LeBarron
Faerie, writing thoughts
Been writing and sculpting Faerie. It's fun but tedious. It always is in the final stages. And it is very much like sculpting. I told my friend Kat once: "you've finished a screenplay. Now write 4 re-writes. Even if it doesn't need it. Change something each time. If you end up going back to the original at leas you'll know it's the best option." Writing is re-writing. I've never thought my work came from Mt Sinai. We can argue inspiration and talent being a divine gift, but the nuts and bolts is emotionally detach and write a better story. Again. Again. Again. It's kind of like dance. It has to take over your body and every arm:...
