One of Those Days

Well, I have already had two auditions today. One that went very well (for the Women Seeking... show) and one that was absolutely heinous (the Cour d'Alene summer auditions...yesh).  Seriously, my voice is dead from yesterday.  Hoping to be able to rock it tonight for my GreenStage audition... And tomorrow for the Wooden O aud...

Oh man... gearing up for having absolutely nothing at all to do on Wed.

Closing Time

tank: Kimchi Blue from Urban, bolero: H&M, trousers: Express, oxfords: Pour La Victoire from ShoeFly, accessories: gold & black tiered necklace from Aldo, Marc Jacobs watch, gifted giant green ring

Well, it's finally coming to an end... my professional debut.  And as if to signal it, this is probably the first time I have woken up without a song from Threepenny stuck in my head since we started rehearsals... My brain knows.

This will end up being another looooong day.  Grabbing breakfast with the fa-zha and seestor this morning before heading to our mat and then pizza at the Millers on the dinner break before the closing performance... and, of course, another glorious night at Solo.  Then, bright and early tomorrow I start the auditioning for the next show.

I have three (3!) auditions Monday (and 1 on Tues!).  Yesh!  That is impressive.  But then again it IS general (and summer show) audition season.  Skipped the TPS auditions this year for the first time since I joined and it was kinda odd.  Def glad I decided against it, but... when that week came around it was interesting not to be part of the nervous horde.

I think I have made (tentative) plans for when I am heading down to Panama to visit Dad & Pam (probs between 3/15-3/29 depending on if Dani & I can get down to HP world or not aka if she can get off work on such short notice...).  Kinda nice to finally have that nailed down.  Everything changed with the 5th & Village announcing their generals at the end of the month.  I had to kinda rush when I could get down to visit. Also, filing for unemployment on Mon.  Done & done.

Everything's Coming Up

Need to take off for another 2-show day right now, so I'll keep this short.  Last night's show was good, but the audience was one of those quiet, contemplative ones that don't give you much to show that they're interested even though you can, on occasion, tell they are listening, which, of course made us get all in our heads about how the show wasn't very good, even though it was... whew!  So, blearg.

Went to Solo last night with the peeps and that rocked.  Love me some Threepenny peoples. Plus Kate & Carolyn came!  And Dan too (my Money director), which makes me happy pants!  Apparently today's mat is almost completely sold out!  And Mama & Nana are coming and then we're grabbing early dinner before I have to get ready for my second show which Dad & Jacki are coming to!  YAY!  Family day!

Two shows FTW!

Round the Moon

dress: thrifted, tights: Spanx from the Rack, leggings: Bebe, boots: Steve Madden

Heading over to our put-in rehearsal for our walk-on (coming on the Sat 730pm show). We're scheduled for 2 hours, but I highly doubt we will need to be there the whole time (have to be called at 3 and have to be called for at least 2 hours due to IATSE union rules...blearg).  We're just doing 3.1, so there will be lots of fake sign writing and sitting on the floor (she's coming on as a beggar).  Then, if we're done around 4, I think I'll head home for dinner before coming back around 6.

The seestor might be coming tonight and I know Carolyn is so YAY!  I know peoples!  Steph and Jennifer were there last night and it was nice to get positive feed back from both of them about the progression of the show.  I will be interested to see what Mom & Lindy think when (if?) they come again.  It's definitely grown and changed and I am really having a blast onstage right now (well, not RIGHT now, but you know, this time in this show).

My auditions are blowing up right now.  I have two on Mon, one on Tues and one on Wed.  Then SCT generals a week from Mon and the 5th & Village have theirs at the end of the month.  Hello, general season, nice to see you.  These are kinda my last ditch effort to see what I am doing for the summer and when I might be heading east...  We shall see...

Yesh!

Heading back to the show tonight, but really, little bit of a crazy day because earlier today I started smelling gas by my kitchen stove, so I'm pretty sure it's leaking and there is no way to shut it off.  Awesome.  I called the gas company and hoping they come out today.  Opened tons of windows and staying in my room breathing out the window. Yesh.  No good.

Excited to be heading back to the show tonight (and outta the scary apartment...I want to LIVE).  This is the crazy six-show in four days weekend and TONS of my peeps are coming to see the show this weekend! Lindy & her friends and Carolyn are coming tomorrow (Fri), Mom & Nana are coming to the 2pm matinee on Sat, Dad & Jacki to the 730pm show on Sat and Dad's coming again to the 730 closing show on Sun!  Yay! Closing weekeeeeeeeeend!

Back On My Legs

tee: Seattle Shakes Threepenny, sweater: thrifted, skirt: Forever 21, tights: Spanx from the Rack, booties: Chinese Laundry, accessories: Marc Jacobs watch, giant red hoops

Well, managed to throw my perfume bottle on my lip which is now bleeding.  Awesome.  Good start to my first day-off where I am actually getting up and going somewhere.  Sucks.

But seriously, Jess and I are grabbing dinner after I run a few errands and then I am going to have a nice relaxing night at home (quite a change of pace, right? haha). I know I have been super lazy, but I have no complaints.  It was loverly to not have to do anything for three days and we have 6 shows this weekend, so I am gearing up for that insanity.

Update: Still in PJ's

Best Picture, Actor and Director winner and the Panama Canal

But so many things have happened I feel like I need to blog about it.  First of all, I know it wasn't a surprise to a lot of people, but I am very happy and surprised that The King's Speech won best picture.  Yes, it was the most conventional movie nominated, but it was soooooo good.  I saw all 10 Best Picture noms and it was clearly the best film nominated.  So yay, King's Speech and Yay Tom Hooper (who looks like a young James Cameron--creepy!) and Yay Colin Firth!  (Although to be honest, I think that Colin Firth should have won for last year's A Single Man & Jeff Bridges should have one for this years True Grit (not Crazy Heart), but I doubt either would have done the next movie without last year's outcome...)

Also, my loverly Dad called me up yesterday and said he is going to try to come see my closing performance(s) of Threepenny!  SO EXCITED! Best wake up call ever!
