Failure Is an Option

Failure Is an Option

Hey, I’m in the paper. This article talks about Rachael Brown’s art project– theoretically she’s a staff writer, but there’s little evidence of that. Anyway, congratulations all around.

Indeed, the students brim with enthusiasm, contributing their diverse skills: Mark Cullen, a 20-year-old guitarist, will compose songs based on local failures — all anonymously written by Break Even customers. (The model failure on display came from a teacher, whose student claimed in writing to be a “perfectoinist”). The failures are being kept a secret until Cullen performs the songs this Friday night (Nov. 9).

While most of that is correct, there are two slight issues I would raise with it: 1. I turned 21 today. 2. I’m not much of a guitarist. I would’ve preferred songwriter (although to be fair i’m not much of a songwriter either, but I’m fairly certain I’m not going to satisfy anyone looking for guitar artistry.)

Also, there will be a bigger performance on the 16th, when several local acts will be performing songs based on the personal failures that were submitted.
