Day 79/365 (November 5, 2008)

In Chatham NJ, they were filming something… and whatever it was they were filming they wanted lots of light posts… so these were laying all around waiting to be installed and I found it amusing.

Day 78/365 (November 4, 2008)

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We found out who won when we heard screams of obama from outside our window. So we changed the channel and sure enough. Hearing the massive excitement and screams of people running up and down the street and hanging outside their windows… I have never been more proud to call NYC/Harlem my home. I tried to get a picture of someone, but it didn’t work out… this was just before I climbed out onto our fire escape to take part.

Day 77/365 (November 3, 2008)

Ahhh! So I finally saw Spring Awakening since the massive cast change in July. It was interesting to see it again. I just yea it was crazy to see. After at Stage Door I had to get my “Moritz” pose with Gerard and a picture with Hunter. Seriously between Mary, Roxy, and Sasha we had a great night… Hunter even said we could take him back to Sasha’s place, which of course we didn’t. It was also funny because there is only one other person I have ever seen Sasha go all fan-girly over and that was Josh Strickland, but Hunter Parrish made her go batty!

Day 76/365 (November 2, 2008)

Went to the NYMF awards gala to see the original NYMF cast, and current cast of Altar Boyz perform. I also was able to see Josh Strickland sing a song from the NYMF show he did, a few other of those shows perform, and Raul Esparza sing Why from tick, tick… BOOM. That was really an incredible thing to watch, and I wish I could have preserved it on film. It was really fun to see both casts of Boyz perform. The current cast was fun because they were only accompanied by a piano (woot Gary Adler) and they sang We Are The Altar Boyz which is a song that has so many things going on… stripped down was different and they did a great job! Of the few pictures I was able to take this was one of my favorites because of its overall composition, and it wasn’t too blurry! The original NYMF cast sang I Believe and I am so happy I was able to see that, and the fact that they still put so much passion and energy into it really just warmed my heart! (see above)

Day 75/365 (November 1, 2008)

This was us after we left waiting for the subway chariot to take us home! Punky Brewster hanging with a Ravenclaw student, and a raving lunatic!!!!

Day 74/365 (October 31, 2008)

Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last minute (well five days before) I decided I was going to rock out as Punky Brewster. I loved the idea and I think I pulled it together pretty nicely. Met up with Sasha and Krysta, Andrew, Jon, and Stef to see Things to Ruin (Joe Iconis) and it was super great… then Sasha, Krysta, and I ended up at Mostly Sondheim for their Halloween bash. There was no better way to spend the dwindling minutes of Halloween and the wee early hours of Nov. 1 than to be there enjoying everything!

Day 73/365 (October 30, 2008)

So Krysta and I went to see Michael Arden sing Joni Mitchell’s Blue Album.. it was seriously some of the most beautiful sounding performances ever. I hope he does something like this again sometime in the relative near future… perhaps when Sasha is back because she would love it!

I made sure that I took this picture right before midnight since it crossed over into Friday.

As a personal note of giddiness at the end of the show he wanted us to give the band a round of applause and he saw me literally giving a round of applause, and said that was good, copied me, then gave me double thumbs up :D
