MIH at Figment, Governor’s Island

We made it happen again, at Figment on Governor’s Island, Saturday June 12.

The range of clients and projects was fantastic, and somewhat different from our previous outings at Flux Factory and the Lost Horizon Night Market. Whereas those events were at night and attended mostly by artists and party people, Governor’s Island attracted a more diverse audience, including some downright normal folks.

But everyone has something that they want to make happen, and Saturday’s attendees were no exception.  Things that people wanted to make happen this time around included:

– Becoming the skippers of a ship and sail in open water.

– Being a more disciplined actress.

– Reviving a business.

– Having more shared experiences.

– Finishing a film.

– Finding a partner.

– Making thanksgiving dinner in a stone house for friends and family!

– Finishing a film script.

– A prototype to redefine the transfer of knowledge and save the world.

– Mission statement for a theater company.

– Love!

It was a truly inspiring, energizing day.  In fact we were so involved with people making it happen that we neglected to take any pictures of our cozy porch in Nolan Park.  So if you’ve got photos, send them to us at makeithappen.tm@gmail.com.

the excitable woman is happening

We received some truly exciting feedback from Trevor last week.  He reports that he is in the midst of making it happen.

His dream was to make “the excitable woman” happen.  Do I know what the excitable woman is?  Not entirely.  Does it matter?  Not at all.

Trevor reports:

“I would have made it happen had I not encountered a SNAFU in my piece and a circuit did not work as planned.  Once I find a specialist to help, I will definitely make it happen.”

Folks, Trevor is dutifully making it happen.  He needs an electrician.  Who can help?

Coming tomorrow, an update from Make It Happen’s exciting outing to Governor’s Island for Figment.

We knew her way back when…

More fantastic feedback today from Dani Tersini, a singer who came to the Make It Happen truck at the night market.   She reminds us in her postcard that her goal was, no IS to make A BAND happen.

Dani reports that she is in the midst of making it happen by contacting musicians, making connections, using craigslist, word of mouth, auditioning and networking at shows.

If, no WHEN Dani becomes famous and plays Madison Square Garden, we will be able to say that we knew her when she started.  Link here to some of her music. Or try listening here

Maria got a job

We received excellent feedback yesterday from Maria, whose goal was classic Make It Happen … she wanted to get a job.

At her initial intake, she set a target date of May 16.  And guess what, dear readers?  She got a job on the 16th that she says has now turned into many more jobs.  She’s still looking for more freelance work, rewriting resumes, updating her portfolio and networking.  But as Maria says in her feedback postcard, “Kind of freaky I got a job on that day.”

We salute you, Maria! Make it happen!

Not entirely satisfied clients Make It Happen!

The lovely and brilliant Joann of UpDownAcross addressed and assessed what happened when she did not make love happen on Friday night.

“I didn’t make it happen, nowhere close…”

Can not making it happen count as making it happen?  Make It Happen has yet to develop a position on not making it happen.  But like Samuel Beckett, we suspect there may be value in failing a few times.   It’s a great way to warm up to making it happen later.  As the playwright wrote, “No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”  Make It Happen counsels patience and persistence in all endeavors.  We remain confident in Joann’s ability to make it happen.  Also, we look great in her pictures.

Please draw inspiration from a bust of Samuel Beckett made out of fimo clay.  Way to make it happen.
