52 Weeks of No TV

I gave up TV for one year in 2012.  Instead of TV, I made some THING every week.  In hindsight, it was a fecund year. (oh yeah, I used the word fecund)  It was the basis for many projects including my full production of Plasticland:  A Better Place.  It spawned unlikely artistic collaborations, built creative confidence and I got to smash a TV with a golden sledgehammer.  I haven't combed through this blog in awhile but I wanted to peruse it for inspiration.

What is all this then...

The agreement...

I.  Starting May 13th 2012, I will stop watching TV.  All TV.  No Netflix, no Hulu, zip, zero, zilch.  No Survivor, no Yes to the Dress, no Madmen, No Tiara-ed Toddlers, no Parks and Rec, no whatever- Will Arnett-is-doing now, no Portlandia, no TV.  

A.  No Re-runs and No Netflix

B.  TV at work is inevitable.  (I am a bartender.)  However, I cannot actively choose to watch                TV while working as I should be working.  While I am at work,  I let customers choose                sports.  And if there are no customers, I will leave it on my customary bartending channel                of choice:  TCM.

II.  Starting May 13th 2012, I will make something every week for 52 weeks.
