I should point out one of these friends is a trans homeless guy who asked me for money on Facebook. Has a rendering rig in his tent.
Get new friends. My friends are on the left but are not this far on the left and have functioning brains.
I worked in the arts and convention scene in Seattle and Portland.
O wow. Impressive that you remained sane.
I have a lot of stories. The big trick is to not get caught up. The art scene has a lot of collapse, so when you see the signs, jump ship and do something else. The theater or show gets new management and the problem people aren't there anymore.
Biggest problem was dating. I now have a thing for girls that are probably lesbians. Designed a computer system while dressed as an obscure star wars character? Oh, you do the theater scene! Awesome .. you're probably a lesbian.
Then everyone thought I was dating my best friend. We're both straight, but he's kind of effeminate. It was a huge joke to us.
It was a minefield and the riots and closures meant I couldn't stay in the area and have a job. So, I took my wife and moved to Florida.
