Aigh.... →[More:] Opening Night is, mercifully, over. Last night sucked ASS. None of the actors are happy, the weather has made the entire theater area a swamp, and the whole show drags. Even the people who have three lines total in the show are bummed out.

Hopefully we can turn this thing around and make a silk purse from a sow's ear. I've already sunk nearly $100.00 into my costume as it is.

And to make matters worse, our director announced to us at 11:30 last night that "hey kids! there's a parade you all need to show up at and shill tee-shirts for the theater in!" It's booth-manning time for the actors!!!!

Guys, I gotta tell ya - it's the Mecha-love that's pushing me through this right now. Thanks for your support.

Also, at curtain last night, I heard a lone "Yay, Steve!" as I took my bow. Did you of you bunnies sneak in unbeknownst to me?

We were all there in spirit. And I bet you were great, despite the ass-suckery of the rest of the show.

Did you shit your pants?

People were asking about you on IRC last night.

Man, sorry to hear it. :P

So how long is this show going to run?

Aw man, what a let down. On the other hand, nowhere to go but up! :D

I sent my astral projection down--she's pretty shouty sometimes, and is a big fan.

I would have soooo been there, LT...

I once played Chava in Fiddler on the Roof... the one who marries a goy. Figures.

I throw you roses anyway...

Aw damn! It seems like opening nights are either completely horrible or absolutely fabulous. I'm sure it's only going to get better!

Hey y'all - the show goes from June 16 - July 17. I'm wiped. One more show today - matinuee.

We've so far played to less then 30 people this weekend. Probably won't have much of a crowd, today, either.

Last night I went to bed in a daze, with my dreams a mad jumble of headlights, bits of script, feeling like I was walking in mud in a forest (which I've been doing all weekend), and waking up at 2am not knowing where I was or what was happening.

Today - much clearer. Woke up at 9am, listening to the Blue Scholars, local hiphop. Looking forward to coming home and cleaning up this shithole room.

Ah Monday....

(it's a Southside Revival, raise your hands high, let your arms be the pillars that be holding up the sky!)
