I'm a nervous wreck on the inside, and that will continue until June 19, the day after the film festival closes. On Friday nite, I slept with Jose Cuervo, whom I haven't been with in at least a year or so. Not always a good idea to dabble with him while trying to moderate the psycho meds, but we're never gonna survive unless we go a little crazy.
The Film Festival (11 days away!) has me very excited yet agitated -- and my involvement making my life very unbalanced, even though I backed down to a second string player. Meanwhile, it's also a fairly busy time for the day job, and I have other friends I'm trying not to ignore on the weekends, and my stupid neighbor keeps putting pressure on us to get our yard in shape - but he can just shove his weedwhacker where the sun don't shine.
ANYWAY, another film I'm excited that we're screening at this festival is called BACA - Bikers Against Child Abuse.
The organization was formed in Utah to help provide a support network for victims who felt scared about facing their abusers in court, or if they were having a hard time at home and needed some TLC. The bikers, who have a chapter in Gettysburg run by the people at RoadRash Leathers, comfort the kids with hugs and listening to them and just showing strength in numbers.
They respond any time of the day or night when the kids call them. If the abuser is outside of the family, they help the whole family to cope. And now many more people will know about BACA. And Batman said they're rolling into our festival for the screening.
