What Its Like to Be: Drama Free

There is never a good title for a blog...nothing catchy that says it all but I really like the way that sounds What Its Like to Be: Drama Free...call it my poetic side...who knows?! Today we rocked another successful Link a Page/Group day where we share links from Facebook to let our crew members know that we as a crew support other Sons of Anarchy pages and groups. It gives our members a chance to check out those sites and see if they like what they have to offer...be it pictures or links or just plain info the point is we are not the only fan-based crew around and I think our job as a family as a crew is to show our support for others as often as possible. We do this once a month and it tends to drain me but today seemed quick and painless and for that I am grateful!
Cause as I have blogged about before there is always something happening behind the scenes you know in real life where I am mom and homemaker and many other things to the house I run as well as the crew! Have you ever stopped and wondered how these fan-based crews have come together...it is because of people like @jrtougas and @tuttles12 here on twitter as well many others (they run the SOAP Crew Massachusetts and SOAP Crew North Carolina on Facebook). The main credit goes to @sutterink ( Kurt Sutter ) because he created Sons of Anarchy for us to watch 13 weeks out of the year (14 this season)  and how would you define SOA? Is it an action? a drama? a sci-fi? or a real life story coming back to haunt you on your television...
No matter how you define it I can tell you that according to what I know its classified as a drama and most certainly adds its very own definition of that to our lives no matter what the genre is that it comes from...but that doesnt mean that its drama should leak out into what we are trying to create for the fans! A place to seek information on what is happening if they cant tune in... a place to seek refuge and feel at home because they know there will not be any spoilers and while we speak of home yes a place to call those other fans that are in those very same crews FAMILY! Its very important to have this because after all for those 13 weeks we watch the cast of SOA do the same...from Charlie Hunnam to Katey Sagal to Ron Perlman...they are similar to us in that light...they arent just actors they are a family! (and not just on TV in real life too)
Do they bicker like they grew up in the same house? I imagine that behind their scenes there is such drama but we dont get  to see it and I will speak for myself by saying I am glad that I dont...I wanna think of them only as HAPPY! The reality is that they have bad hair days and their own behind the scenes to deal with and we get to just live in the world Kurt created for us...where we scream at the TV throw Reese's pieces at the reaper and grow more gray hair with each season...and yes I am about to make my point...IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL! Spoken like a true mother dont you think?! LOL When you enter a new page/group do me a HUGE favor and play nice...be respectful and remember that there are REAL people with feelings behind the screen...devoting their time to bring you something special....
That is the coolest thing is seeing what the individuals mind can do with the information they receive...for me I am connected to the best sites but I dont have pics like other pages/groups so I fill the void by rocking virtual events. I am followed by some of the cast/crew but I dont have the inside scoop without following Kurt (@sutterink) and I fill that void by celebrating birthdays. And this is the crews first holiday together so I am even creating a Christmas Card List so that these family members can let others know they are thinking about them during one of the toughest times of the year...and on that note on the off chance I dont blog before the holidays let me take the time to wish ALL of you the very happiest of new years ahead...May the Reaper Guide You to the Happiest of Days! #HELLYEAH
