- ZEE'S CAFE CAFE -
THAT'S A CAT WITH A VERY LONG TAIL
Here's part of the story of how Zee's Cafe Cafe came to be, and how it came to be put aside for a long time.
Soon I will have links to lots more about Zee's Cafe Cafe, and to my spoken word pieces and songs.
But for now . . .
1999 - that's when I first thought of Zee's Cafe Cafe, a home for my spoken word pieces, where my alter ego, Zee, could perform a few, week after week. One of those old cafes, with old wooden tables and old wooden chairs. A comfortable place. Low lighting.
I first imagined it as a half-hour TV show, later as an online show.
Over the next decade, I developed it several times, always for other people as well as me.
But why care about such a project? That brings me back even earlier, to spring 1994, when I started waking up with the first lines to "word pieces" in my head - words usually meant to go with music, often with a melody. I'd scribble the words down, then follow the words.
At the end of the first month, I had 19 pieces. I typed them up.
I kept on writing more.
Over time, the flow has been stronger and less strong, but has never left.
1994 wasn't the beginning, actually. I loved stories and plays as a child. I wrote a couple of short plays and even put one on, with friends. I wrote a film script and imagined turning this into a film.
In my 20's, I started writing one thing and then another - a film script, a book, a play - but nothing flowed fully. Even when a beginning felt very alive, the whole project didn't feel really right. Plus how to take a film script and get it onto the screen?
Then another side of me came to the fore - the thinking side. That took hold for over a decade. I got a PhD. Loved doing it.
Just a few months later,
the word pieces started coming.
So, a cat with a very long tale - or tail.
