Wow!
Had no time to post this weekend, and much has happened ;)
In a nutshell - the show opened, went well, and my website is up.
The longer version :)
We opened Friday night, after grueling rehearsals all this last week, and it went really well. Except for the fight scene. The lighting designer ran the strobe at a different speed than during rehearsals, so Scott actually hit the other guy! It freaked all of us out, there was blood everywhere, we didn't know if it was fake or real, or what to do. But Dan - the guy who got hit - was helped offstage by Jill after the scene and we figured out it was real. Eight stitches. It was seriously scary. And he finished the show and everything!
Then afterwards myself, Joel and his friends Tim and Mike, and Mariah and Chris from the show all went to Flash's for drinks. Mental note for future reference: do not drink two margaritas on an empty stomach again ;) After behaving badly - well, not really, just dancing with both Tim and Joel, being loud and obnoxious, and sitting on alternately, Joel or Mariah's lap - we headed over to Little Stevie's for pizza. I didn't get home til 4:30am!
Sat. I woke up late (duh!) and met Anna for coffee and walking around Boston. It was a beautiful day, so we hung out on the Commons, talked about everything and anything, and just generally had a good time. She's such an awesome person/friend, a true sweetheart in the best sense of the word. Then we ran the show again Sat. pm, but I didn't go out, rather went home and got in bed before midnight! I also got to IM with eBear, which was v. good given that I had many questions for her and needed advice.
Finished reading King Rat by China Mieville. Frankly, not impressed. At all. I didn't much care for the main character, and figured the whole plot out by the third chapter. I hate it when I'm not surprised. Parts of it felt like a rip-off of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, though I'm not sure which book came out first. Gaiman's books are much better, IMO.
Sunday was an early call to run some blocking. The show was dead - hardly anyone in the audience - but we had a blast running it. Ric - the director - took Ravi's place as Ravi was at an audition, and he got wild on stage! Then afterwards we went out to Chili's for dinner and told the waiter that it was Ric's b-day in order to get a free piece of cheesecake - which we shared around the table. Apparently it's a tradition that every time we go out it gets to be someone's b-day. I love theatre people! :P
I have tonight off - yeah! - and plan on working on Soul Stone. Then Bible study Tues., rehearsal Wed., Thurs. night I'm meeting up wtih Jess and Mike, Anna, Jen, Tina and James, Leane and possibly others at the Wonder Bar. Joel's meeting up with us later so that my friends can meet him. After his latex show, that is. The guy has no shame ;) (Not that he'd have any reason to have any...as he is hot as hell...or that I'm one to point fingers...given what I end up wearing by the end of my current show...or rather, not wearing ;P)
Amy Alward has posted new chapters on the OWW, yeah! And I'm going to run around telling everyone to check out my website. Oh, and I need to order business cards. That's about it for now. Later!
