At the same time, things sometimes feel agonizingly slow...like waiting for our coverage in the Daily Press on Sunday. We keep wondering where it's going to be and how big it's going to be and we're just crossing our fingers and praying to our gods and waiting for Sunday's paper...and then waiting for the anticipated boom in ticket sales caused by Sunday's paper. It's intense.
And dammit, I want to sit in the audience and watch Quilters! As an audience member I'm going nuts with anticipation. I've seen bits and pieces of the show from sitting in on the occasional rehearsal, and it's going to be awesome. These women are fantastic!!!
So in case you hadn't noticed, my life is pretty much all TRR all the time. Every second of every day. It's intense and wonderful. I love working with Steven and Miss E more than words can possibly express.
Speaking of things that words cannot possibly express...KENDRA COX IS VISITING VIRGINIA IN JULY! I AM SO HAPPY THAT I CAN BARELY TYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing this summer is missing (aside from, as I call it, not having any prospects) is the BEACH. I never have time to go to the damn beach and it looks like I don't get any days off until The Foreigner opens. That's how it feels at the moment, anyway. I need me some ocean!
And on a final and semi-unrelated note, I love my mom. She came into town on Sunday and came with me to a mall event that we did for Quilters that was cool - it was so good to have her there supporting me and I loved that she got to hear some of the amazing women sing. We did some shopping and then went to Schooners and she hung out for awhile for a little bit of Mice & Men rehearsal. And Steven talked later about how good it was to see her and how she was so pretty and loves me a lot. It was a very warm & fuzzy day :) My mom's the greatest.
Finally...some pictures of the summer so far :)
My beautiful fat little godson!!! Tobi's wheel is just a leeeeeettle too small for him.
I wish he could be in Of Mice & Men but I don't think Lisa or Jordan would appreciate that.
Tall Tom can pick me up with one arm. He is the strongest man in the world.
We laugh a lot here at TRR - as demonstrated by Locklyn Brooks, our sexy costume designer, Caity Schmidt, our brilliant props princess, and Ferrier, our beast of a technical director.
Ferrier looks like he's crying, which makes me laugh harder.
It was Locklyn's birthday a couple weeks ago and Lisa made a cake! Yay!
The girls saw Sex & the City, and my fellow awesome AD Stacey celebrated with cosmos as beautiful sound designer Jess Ashby looks on.
FRIEEEEEND! I am so in love with Lara Maerz I could die. She is a stage manager extraordinaire.
