Day 145/365 (December 9, 2014)












They finally finished doing work in our apartment!

the skies had opened up and was raining like crazy... not sure how we didn't flood. I got to go to Gypsy of the Year which was super fun thanks to Ellyn. Hugh Jackman in person is quite lovely. Pippin was great and Michael C. Hall and Lena Hall were hilarious trying to do acrobat stuff a la Pippin. Kinky Boots were wonderful and everyone was all about Hugh at the end and he was a terrific sport!

Then it was off to my night at 54 Below. First I saw Laura Osnes who is basically perfect and did an amazing show, including singing There's a fine, fine line form Avenue Q complete with the Kate Monster puppet! Then it was time for The Spidey Boys show that I was filming. It was a really great show and I got an awesome spot to film from! Then we all went to Alfie's after and I made some new friends that I ended up going to Flaming Saddles with after and they don't allow woo-hooing haha. I even ran into someone I knew from NWS there

It was also weird to see Kate Monster just cholling on a box when I went up to the dressing rooms.

Day 360/365 (August 13, 2009)


i barely had gotten any sleep when i had to wake up to get ready to go to bryant park to save seats for a bunch of people. when i got out of bed i stepped in a big puddle of tucker pee!!!! the weather was pretty fab and slightly chilly actually! (except the impending threat of rain). anywho i got there and was ticked to find suze already there i mean i got there at 7:30 in the morning what time did she get there and she had taken the spot i like to sit in but we still had really fabulous seats (just as great as hers) and i learned how much i really and truly despise that beyond evil and wretched woman! the lawn was sort of swampy because it had rained slightly and because of it i ended up slipping on the library escape hatch at some point well that evil wench couldnt even be bothered to ask if i was alright and even though i know she isnt nice i asked if there was anything on the back of my pants because i had fallen and she didnt even flinch just flat out ignored me. i thought that was the most upsetting thing of the day little had i known. anywho eventually chris and lon showed up to help save seats and keep company. i went and picked up sasha's camera and awaited everyone to show up i was saving seats for. it was nice having lynette, nicholas, mark, his nephew zachary, diane, annemarie, and jean there. it was like a mini altarholic reunion! anywho when diane had arrived she too had slipped and fell but here is the thing before i realized that someone had fallen i heard suze laughing and saying someone had just fallen and she was so pleased with it then i saw the person stand up and it was diane! i was like it is wrong that you laugh at someone like that in general but especially wrong when you used to be friends. so i have never hated anyone as much as i have hated her in my life and that is actually a pretty strong statement for me to make because it surprises me that that is true. she is the most foul and horrible person i have ever encountered and i wish that she would just stay far far away from me and those i like/love. ( i dont wish her any harm but karma is a bitch baby so you better watch out because the world will turn against you at some point). end rant.

the performances were blah! boyz were fun, billy was stupid and only performed one song because they couldnt dance in the rain, but they still could have sung them! matthew morrison performed a song and i got glee pins. mamma mia lip synched to a song (trecherous), south pacific was boring but well down. it rained during the show at one point and john stamos came to promote bye bye birdie. he wa on stage far too long saying the same thing but whatever it was still amusing and well i took a bazillion pictures. i felt as though i was pleasing the inner fan girl of my sister who used to have a crush on him quite a long time ago. i have no idea if she ever had a fan girl side but i suspect she had because i remember finding clippings of photos of him once when i was looking through some of her old stuff. so basically those pictures are for you! (also when i went to go get the camera pip was so excited to see me and when he flipped so i could rub his belly he was so excited that he ended up PEEing! on me, i was like dogs 2, tamra 0... it was not a good moment for me)

then i dropped stuff off with sasha and met mark and zachary at dave and busters. yummy food and a good time and lots of tickets later we headed out. i hung in the courtyard for a while charging my phone and fell asleep at one point. then i met chris and lon at avenue q lotto to thelp them. they lost, then i went to 9 to 5 lotto to help sasha and marty. sasha won!. then sasha, marty, matthew, zuri, and myself headed off and got some most yummy thai food.

they all rushed off to their shows, then i went to pick up the other camera from sasha and i gave some love to fred and pip. then i went to TOL for what i thought would be a few minutes of karaoke until i had to go to brooklyn. well karaoke was cancelled but that was ok because it gave me some time to catch up with michael (box office guy) who i havent seen in ages! then i headed to the public assembly in brooklyn and got there way too early despite my best efforts and met up eventually with megan, laura, and emily. the show started an hour late and i didnt get home in bed until 4 am. but the time spent with those girls and seeing the band perform was beyond worth it because it had been so long and well i missed them! the show started after midnight so i cant post pictures here, but i hadnt fallen asleep so that is why i wrote about it here. i even had a lovely "dance" with someone at the end of the night.

Day 231/365 (April 6, 2009)


i got up, and i cleaned the kitchen. then baked the cookies to give to lee and mitch, went to NWS to buy my ticket for the night to see altar boyz, and then i did some pretty hardcore job hunting.  Then jordan and i went to try our luck at the avenue q lotto since she has never seen it... we literally put our name in the bucket then they called the names... she lost sadly so we went and she bought her ticket to see Rooms that night. then i went to sasha's and got food with her, found the house of ews, and then went to her place for a bit and borrowed her awesome camera.

Then i headed to NWS to see altar boyz and drop off cookies, jordan came and met me and we hung before going into our respective theaters. i also ran into jenny, logan, and chris who i met in texas. the show was great and i enjoyed seeing lee as luke. i was really saddened that they didnt offer BC/EFA pictures for that night, but afraid that i had noticed the stage was different since it turns out it was prepped to be painted that night. then i met with jordan, and lil and we went to TOL for open mic night for a bit... it was good times, then lil left, jordan and i returned the camera to sasha and went home.

Day 155/365 (January 20, 2009)

I failed at finding something at the Spring Awakening load-out but i did see the Moritz and Wendla stairs outside and a part of the brick wall and it actually made me a little sad.

Then i walked in times square and saw everyone just at a standstill watching the many TV screens as the inauguration was going on, and that was kinda cool to see so many people so invested in something so important.

Then i met up with Lizzie briefly before going over to Sasha's... there i applied for some jobs and fooled around, then Sasha left me her keys and i used her place as a base of operations while helping people with the wicked lotto, and the avenue q lotto... and i even got to luck out and be there for a UPS delivery which made matthew and sasha very happy. Afterwards i hung out some more before packing up fred and bringing him back here for us to cat sit him until Sasha comes back from CA.

Day 154/365 (January 19, 2009)

The day was all kinds of fun! It was a holiday so Krysta was even home for the most part too!

Krysta, Lizize, and myself went and helped with Avenue Q lotto for a few people then we all headed to Europa. I didn't get anything there surprisingly... then we sat there for a while and parted ways... Krysta, Lizzie, and myself went to putter time before heading over to TOL for Michael's birthday party. We went to Virgin and i found this guy... the photo isnt the best but it is hard to take a sneak picture of someone with their friends around... but he was wearing this flash hoodie and it even had the lightening bolts coming out of it and i loved it!

Then we went to Starbucks for a bit, and then finally we went to TOL for the festivities. We got there early enough to get a seat and let me tell you the night was so much fun! It was also ope mic there and it turns out alot of the Mostly Sondheim regulars come to TOL for Open mic night and it was nice to socialize with them in a more casual setting and before midnight! Lizzie and I even sang My Junk Is You... though i had to read the words and later i sang Friend Like Me which was a crowd pleaser and i was extremely surprised that i didnt have to look at the words and was able to sing it on my own, and the few moments of uh-oh i didnt have to worry about because everyone was singing along with me :D

Michael's party turned out to be lots of fun, and there was even yummy cake!

Day 7/365 (August 25, 2008)

I saw Avenue Q tonight because Steven Booth was going on for Princeton/Rod. It was nice to see him perform again, he truly is amazing... i dont know why i didnt feel comfortable asking for a picture with him... but while i was waiting for him to come out i made this bar thing my home. I was sitting on it and swinging my legs and it made me feel like i was in a park especially since there was a beautiful breeze. I am by no means old but sometimes it is nice when you feel as though you are much younger than you are, in this case i felt about 5 :D
