I started my own company today. I am amazed how easy it is. I just sign some paperwork at the office of the Secretary of State and pay a fee($160), get an Employer Identification Number(EIN), and I have a company. I can have employees. It has an identity separate from my social security number. It’s strange, but I feel a little more American. Although more kin to immigrants of a century ago, than “Americans” today.

Now that I have it, I know certain immediate I have an immediate vision and purpose. I am commissioned through the Walker and the Southern Theatre to choreograph half an evening of dance. They will give me money, I might do some fund raising, and I will be paying people to work for me. It’s kind of scary and exciting at the same time. I’m not sure what I will do with it after this year, but perhaps this is good; it might get my but in gear to start churning out more choreography now that my company has an entity beyond my imagination.

I wanted to call it is Bruno L.L.C. first, but that was taken by a billboard company or something. So I opted, and knew I’d get, Oroyan L.L.C. Although, I’d envision a marquee might say, “Oroyan Dance Company.”

I guess I could always use it to sell hotdogs if this whole dance thing doesn’t work out…
