i love my life.

so tour is going great.
we started out in north carolina our first load in was a little crazy, it was at a high school and there was no venue contact and i didn't really know what i was doing but it was fun and the kids were great. my co workers gave them all nicknames like smize and sasha fierce. a lot of them really loved working with us and i hope that they continue doing theatre and at least one of them does technical work. it was a bit of a crazy thing but a totally fun first day.
the night before we all went out to this bar called zac-a-doo's. it was in fredricksburg va, and kind of ridiculous. we were the youngest people there and a woman told me that we were all cute "in a mom way". it was ridiculous.

we've been in north carolina all week. just getting used to the show, it's been an adventure and each venue has been a learning experience, but i'm beginning to get the hang of things. hopefully next week will be easier.

other things have been ridiculous. went to a strip club near unc wilmington, with the only straight male co worker in the company. i felt like i was in csi las vegas or pulp fiction. it was wild. first time ever at a strip club so far this tour has been adventure after adventure. sketchy gay clubs all over the country. so much fun.
last night we went out in st. louis, mo. another discovery of america is that cabs suck and are way too expensive, except for in new york.

so i love glee but really... really... it is a little ridiculous. let's talk first about the way they sound. totally not their real voices. they sound best when they're not digitally remastered like disney's high school musical. also it annoys me when there are 8 million voices when there only 12 people onstage, and only 3 of them are singing. also. then... let's talk about the lighting for all of their numbers. newest episode... really? a 8 ft high and probably 15-20 foot long light wall? because a high school that has no real theater department has one of those hanging around, and a tech crew to set that up just for rehearsal. just the basic logistics of it all. sometimes being a theatre person ruins otherwise beautiful simple things for me. hahaha.
also because i've pretty much seen lea michelle naked i feel like i know her. thank you spring awakening.

that's all for now. i am so hungry i need to go try and find food.

so i just saw the movie fame. it made me really really happy. i highly recommend it to everyone.
