Weekend Update

How's tricks, kids?

Things here are good.... looking forward to a BREAK. My show closes on Sunday, and let me tell you what, it's time.

Now don't get me wrong. I love my cast. The show is nice and short. I like getting a regular paycheck.


But Mama is TIRED. It's been a looooooooooong season. There's been enough drama both onstage and off to last me for a good while.

SO. Summer is here, and although I spend most days freezing my ass off in the heavily air conditioned theater, I hear the weather's been nice and hot. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to drinking lots of beer, lounging in Mel & AJ's pool, maybe going camping and just generally relaxing.

Now you know of course I can't totally relax, like, EVER, right? So of course I have a few things up my sleeve this summer. Stay tuned.

Okay, okay I KNOW I've been sort of neglecting this blog and when I do update I'm being all kinds of sketchy. I was just scrolling back through some of my earlier blogs and reminiscing about my old blogging habits. IT WILL GET BETTER SOON, I PROMISE. Really. Thanks for sticking with me, it's been one of those years.


Until then, check out this sweet picture I snapped with my phone at The New Pornographer's concert Deb & I rocked out at last Monday:
It was a really great show. We've learned the big-girl trick of snagging seats at concert venues with balconies. Sure, it's rad to be on the floor, but we're OLD. Seats? Drinks? Balcony view? Sign us up. All you have to do is arrive a little early, ID in hand (most venue balconies are for people 21+ only, which makes them even cooler) and be prepared hold onto the seats you get for dear life. When one person goes to the bathroom or to get beers, the other must spread their body over two seats and prepare to elbow any pushy little latecomer in the face. This ensures maximum old-person enjoyment of a concert. Balconies may get hot and crowded, but at least you're not being pushed around by some dumb 18-year-old determined to ROCK OUT at their first unchaperoned concert.

Wow, I really do sound like an old person. Harumph. Get off my lawn. Damn kids.

Anyway. My summer's just around the corner. And it's gonna be big, I tell you, BIG.



Thanks for sticking with me, kittens.
