On another subject, as prez of NYTWA, , I'm made some New Year's forecasts for New York City:
2020--Manhattan's downtown marina posts signs, DO NOT FEED MANATEES.
2030--Immigrants from The Country Formerly Known as Mauritius settle in Battery Park.
2040--Prospect Park is engulfed by kudzu.
2050--U.S. designates Coney Island a new Federally protected reef.
2060--Mauritian-Americans relocate to Maine.
2070--Manatees follow.
Have I missed anything?
To Max's question: in 2010 we have to take more initiative and risk.For most of us, the old outlets ain't there anymore, and new ones pay less ... if they pay at all. It is a time to leverage experience in new ways, to be in charge of our own gifts instead of being reactive to the dribs/drabs assignments currently out there.
Ed Wetschler is right: waiting doesn't work, the old ways and outlets don't hold water. It's time to value what we offer first and foremost. Zee creme does indeed rise to the top, even in this economy (shout-out to Eric).
... And whenever I have an idea as to actually how to do this, I promise to share. For now I live in hope. And wish all of you a better year in 2010!
