Are You A Rockstar?

So now that this whole Rockstar Salute has some tooth to it, how will YOU know if you are, indeed a Rockstar?

Well,  You  Might Be A Rockstar If...

  1. When you go to a con, more people know you by your scene name than by your mundane name
  2. It takes you 45 minutes to walk a path that others can walk in 10, because so many people are coming up to you and saying hello
  3. People you consider colleagues keep randomly taking off their shirts, holding their breasts, jumping up and down, and screaming your name
  4. People you don't know and have never met you want to play with you
  5. You teach a class with 200 people in it as effectively as you can teach a class with 20 - or 2, because size doesn't matter to you.
  6. You participate in your community beyond being 'that person' on stage and in front of an audience
  7. You treat people with kindness and respect, regardless of what they may or may not have to offer you
  8. There are Fetlife Fetishes in your name - and you didn't put them there yourself
  9. You need handlers when you are finished teaching or demo- Domming or Bottoming, just so you can get to your room
  10. You don't really care if you ever get a Rockstar Salute, because you know it isn't important

  1. Used to be! By name, anyway. At least for 1, 2, 6, 7, and 10. And a teensy bit of 4.

    Biggest kick was walking down the hallway at a Flea (wearing a name-tag) and hearing people whisper behind me, "That was SubStephen!"

  2. I'm certainly not a Rockstar, but I know a couple, and my life is more interesting for it. :)
