DAY 269 - Argentina wasn't built in 12 hours!

Tech day = hell on earth. Today was the day that starts off "Hell Week" 12 hours of rehearsal 8am-8pm. And we pretty much used every moment. We had pictures, then a run through to set light cues which took about 5 hours, then a little lunch break... During the lunch break Holly Jo and I wanted to slip away to get a drink. We had invited our friend Sean and I made the mistake of asking really loud if he was still going to come with us. He said "no" but another random cast member overheard and invited herself. Holly Jo and I spent a 10 minute awkward car ride to Starbucks with this strange cast member I'd never really talked to before. She spout out obscenties and told awkward stories of her personal life. Holly Jo and I both sat there wide eyed looking at each other trying to hold back the laughter... Gotta love a good awkward situation.

After lunch we did another run through with both casts.... It was a freakin' long day. And the show pretty much sucks... well the leads are real good, but the rest of it, not so good.

DAY 253 - A Fair to Remember

Nothin' like the State Fair to make pretty much everyone feel like plain white trash... That's what I like about the fair, everyone is equal. The fair proves everything can be fried, and that great works of art can be created by anyone. For example, what good Christian frat house wouldn't want a "Come Unto Me" paddle hanging on the wall?

DAY 252 - 09/09/09 9:09

Today was Sept 9th, so 09/09/09 and at exactly 9:09 PM I was sitting at Evita rehearsal... Peter (the musical director) was probably yelling some constructive criticism such as "YOU SUCK!!!" But anyway, 09.09.09 at 9:09 looked pretty much just like everyday the past month. Seems like all I do is go to work and then to rehearsal. What I sacrifice for art.
