Last night I watched Amargosa, the documentary about Marta Becket and the creation of her Amargosa Opera House in Death Valley Junction. Maybe it was the beer (count=1), maybe it's my hormones (raging), or maybe it's the message ("to thine own self be true") that had me sobbing almost uncontrollably through much of it. This is a great film that has to be seen by anyone feeling an unexplainable need to keep searching ... even if they don't know what they're searching for. I was hoping to go to Death Valley Junction (originally Amargosa) this weekend until I learned that Marta Becket's performances in the Opera House are on hiatus until November. So, I have to wait until the Fall to see her perform. I might just make the trip out there before then. I feel like I just can't wait.
