Not physically, but I can't. I have horrible panic attacks, and the reason I know is because every time I've had blood drawn, it happens. It's really ridiculous. And in all honesty, the panic attack hurts far more than the needle in my arm (though I'm not crazy about that, either). On another note, my mother LOVES to give blood. So does my old roomie. If my mom sees the big truck outside of Wal-Mart, she's all, "Oooh, maybe I can give blood! Yay!" Actually, I would like to give blood, but I can’t. Not physically, but I can’t.

I think most poeple WANT to give blood. It's the motivation part that they don't have. -Mouth- Good theory. But no matter how much WE want to do it, we can't do it alone. We need volunteers to be ushers, we need audience members to watch the show, and we need people to act/build sets/hang lights/advertise/what-have-you. I can only do so many things before I burn out, and even if I follow Scott's tribe model, my tribe still can't exist by itself -- we need audiences and other outside help to succeed. So, yes, your theory is right, but I'm sort of talking about something different. -Blue-

I've known a number of very talented theatre people in my life, and very few of them have had the drive to do anything about it. Everyone has their own priorities, which is fine, but many of the people who want to do it, don't want to fight for it. At least that's my theory. :) I have a theory, which actually worked its way into my second musical, which is that there are those who talk about what they’re going to do, and there are those who do it.

It depends... I smashed my toe (perhaps uncoincidentally, the same one I broke a few months later) during a memorable strike. Put me off lifting flats and doors for life. :) Also people think giving blood will hurt. :P
