I sure as hell wouldn't want the stress of never being able to leave my job alone, and I've seen some of the practice you do when not performing. I have a lot of respect for people who choose to follow the path they want and make it work, so kudos to you all. Also, out of curiosity, isn't "smiling enigmatically" what you do to most questions? :-) Carry on with your bad self. Good points here.

Sometimes it *feels* more like an "avocation" than a "vocation"... but if I recall correctly, a vocation is something you do for a living. An avocation is something you to do live. We're just busy cracking the code on making it pay properly. Right on, my friend.

Perform at their event. With a pulse pounding presentation of 'Pi' the Musical. Then it's, "Why don't we get some one better?" Like a professional. Someone who does this for a living. I have 'performed' as a second job to pay the bills and just like Bartending, Night Store Clerk, and many other JOBS, you can't just walk off the street to do it. It take training and practice, but unlike the other jobs, you don't get paid while you train. You only get paid after you have invested Time, Money and Sweat to be come professional.
