"ATX TV...from the Couch!" starts tomorrow!
ATX TV is an annual event, similar to SXSW, but on a much smaller scale, and all about tv. There are screenings, premieres, and panels with writers, producers, stars, and others in the TV industry. Last year Lou Diamond Phillips, Phylicia Rashad, Eric Dane, Zendaya, and Kevin Bacon were some of the stars in attendance.
My person attended for the first time last year, and she loved it! She was thrilled to be part of a conference, to be downtown wearing a badge, meeting new people, seeing new shows before their tv premieres. She reveled in the fact that she was able to walk a few blocks and eat yummy grilled cheese sandwiches and fries at the Alamo Drafthouse theatre. She had the rare opportunity (for her) of being downtown at night.
She had been nervous beforehand, wondering if she could handle it.
She not only survived.
She thrived.
So this year the festival is all virtual.
She will miss the electricity of the in-person events.
She has learned how fulfilling it can be to feel the anxiety and walk through it.
But she is still looking forward to it.
And best of all - this year it is free!
She'll be busy, so I'll be in my usual spot in her room all weekend.
It's okay.
Me and the other stuffies will have our own party.
She still hasn't noticed when some of her snacks are gone.
