yes---i viewed the video. found it quite meaningful. agreed with entire thing. anybody can call themselves anything they want. these keepers of the gates are squelching your originality. i thought it was great how the lowercase beginning letters came about---by accident because of the poster. Much better than the all-lowercae--because it stands out. The girl used an apt word, "challenge." Hubert Selby is another guy who puntuates differently, and ee cummings. Nice vid. Would like to view the film in progress, which sounds like it is a series of interviews with you on various subjects. To me that's an excellent format for a film.
My previous "stage name" just recently, was John Phlegm (u might recall that from Facebook---which I dropped BTW because it was getting too time consuming. For about 3 months i had my fun with facebook and found out what it is all about. There is a lot positive there. I did enuf on it and retired from it. Make time for other stuff.) This name worked on a couple of levels. First off, it has a punk rock style. I had read Richard Hell's autobiog, and I think his name partly inspired it. But Phlegm is extremely self effacing, whereas Hell or Rotten or Vicious are not. So you picture a glob of mucous on the sidewalk, something disgusting. It represents ego-lessness if you refer o yourself as Phlegm or some such. Maybe you could call it humility in the extreme. But Phlegm has a very positive aspect. It is a curative substance. When it's produce it's a sign that sickness is going away. The word Phlegm also just sounds funny. Here is another made up name: During the course of doing some open mic comedic and just hanging out at the arts center place and interacting with people, I carried around (a couple of times) a little shaggy brown stuffed-animal dog, and around her neck I tied a yellow bandanna. I said, "oh, i have my dog with me her name (thought it would be better if it was a female dog) is She Doesn't Have a Name. I thought it was fairly funny, and the weirdness of it seemed to strike people as humorous. Then I might say, "she is pretty easy to take care of, she doesn't eat very much," and other things along those lines. Then I pictured myself being photographed by a celebrity photographer from US magazine while strolling along the beach boulevard in Waikiki, looking celebrity-like with a bandana knotted around my neck and sunglasses, And the caption would read, "Spotted in Honolulu---John Phlegm with is dog, She Doesn't Have a Name."
When you reply I'll fill you in on my current made-up name, and two other made-up names I had in the past. Stage names and pseudonymns are loads of fun and can be quite meaningful.
