Solve et Coagula — Separate, and Join Together

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
                   -- Martin Luther King, Jr.  


While Mercury Retrograde swiftly made its exit the week of January 11, 2010, taking the contents of my hard drive with it, I was suddenly forced to take inventory of the exhaustive amount of Rollerstar ~ Part Deux which existed therein. Ever the eager student of alchemy, I assembled a digital laboratory to recoup my soul's creation from its separated state; but only came to the daunting conclusion that my scheduled show on January 22, 2010 would have to endure a delay.


I liken the creation of each unique Rollerstar installment to giving birth and therefore felt a sense of frustration upon realizing that I would not be able to deliver on time, according to schedule. But then I stumbled upon the wise Dr. Martin Luther King., Jr.'s quote above and surrendered to a higher cause-- that of painstaking excellence.  My commitment to creating a production worth being proud of is far more important than accomplishing the incomplete.  I hope the wait will prove worth it for all of you inquiring as to the next show date.  Please know I am in the lab, channeling Hermes Trismegistus, transmuting base fragments into an elixir for the senses... Rollerstar ~ Part Deux, I envisage-- will blow any remaining stereotypes of rollerskating well beyond wherever Mercury has taken pains to steal my previously created labors.
