Hunt for Community in The U.S. — Chrissy Fest
This group felt a lot like that. Maybe there’s some drama or side stories I missed, since I’m still an outsider looking in. But it felt like a community that worked—naturally, fluidly. I mean, this whole event was called Chrissy Fest. A lot of people came just to see her. Folks drove from all over the state to show up, say hi, and celebrate her birthday. You think to yourself, Wow, she must be a one-of-a-kind person to receive that kind of love.
Hunt for Community in the U.S. — Miss Vee’s Freak Show
Miss Vee's Freak Show ended up garnering many different types of people, from many different walks of life. They were there for their own reasons, some because they liked theatre and a good show, others to support a friend, and even more to meet, talk and hang with their friends. But the one thing I noticed about it all was the amount of time, community, and care that was so invested in the event. How everyone seemed to know each other, welcome those that they didn’t know.
