I measure everything against my day to day experience "in faire" and generally shine on the rest of the crap. I have militantly refused to become a scripted commodity and I do all I can to minimize the negatives of the experience.
I miss all of the performers who have made the choice you have made for all the right reasons. I can understand exactly why they have made the choices they have.
Cynical, yeah, but I'm a cynical bitch about most everything. But out of the majority of people I've watched go by, I somehow still manage to keep my eye on the ball of what's meaningful in that environment.
The moment you touch a patron's mind/heart/soul...or in my case, his ass...and have that direct interaction change their worldview to something fun, magical and outside the daily norm of our existence.
So long as I can still say I'm enjoying the actual performance. I'll be there (assuming my body will let me)...all the rest of it is nothing other than bullshit...that's some years deeper than others...
I've seen a tremendous amount of ebb and flow of that over the long haul.
