Uh ho! Is this the end? – No, not at all, but I have been wondering this year, as I’ve been attending different and less events in 2025 than I have in any other year I’ve done this.
In 2024 I decided to be much more selective about the events I was going to, and that was partly because of a planned holiday late in the year.
In 2025 I seem to have continued to have been selective.. intentional or not, I am not sure. So I have started to wonder.. “Am I done with x40?” – As a concept..
I started x40 to document my journey from seeing nothing and going nowhere, to see how far I have come over these years.
I have now achieved the ability of being able to go and take myself out and see performances and shows. That’s been a massive achievement for me, but having now been successful in that venture… am I done with x40?
Will I continue to go to events, yes of course, why would I stop now? There are things I know I can go and see alone or with company, somewhat easier these days. – I won’t be fully comfortable alone, and I think I prefer to go with company these days – having someone to discuss things with afterwards is good, plus it’s more fun.
I struggle with gigs on my own.. So perhaps I avoid them, or avoid going alone…?
I still love Dance. I can go see that alone, but with company is still more fun. But I understand that Dance isn’t for everyone, and particularly some of the Dance I like, I know others don’t enjoy. That’s fine, ill never pressure anyone to go with me to anything.
I still enjoy writing about events afterwards, reviewing things, but again.. am I done with the concept of x40, or should x40 expand and redevelop itself in to something else? I don’t have the answers, I do not know, but I am thinking about it.
x40.
