Does practice make perfect?

chrisreblogs:

brianglidewell:

Fact is, no indie team gets notes after performing (correct me if I’m wrong).

Sometimes they get notes.  Some coaches go above and beyond.  But yes… very very rare.

I don’t thing The Creek HAS to be low stakes just because no money trades hands.  I know I have had shows there that I have felt are high stakes.  But it does often get treated that way.  ”Oh, it’s just The Creek.”

We should change that.

I agree with everything said here.  I don’t think it HAS to be low stakes at The Creek.  But it almost always is.  And the lack of money is my wild speculation as to why.

I also think it would be great if that changed.  Fuck-around sessions are fun once in a while.  But at The Creek lately it seems to be the rules instead of the exception.
