Day 128/365 (November 22, 2014)
The final bit of birthday celebration ended up with a trip to a trampoline park with a stop at target and michael's along the way. The trampoline park was so much fun, but this was smaller than the last one i went to so we had to take turns with others and there was a pregnant lady jumping with a toddler breaking so many rules. I also had an awkward run in with Jessica Phillips in the bathroom, as we both locked eyes and was like i know that face. If it had been outside the bathroom I would have said hi but inside would be just wrong! The whole day would have been great if later that night our ceiling hadn't have started leaking... on the couch/me. Poor Laura was staying over too so we had to come up with a different sleeping solution and thankful our landlord, Al, came over right away with help to figure out what was wrong. The leak started at 10:30 and they left at 1 am.

Day 353/365 (August 6, 2009)

after getting about three, maybe three and a half hours, of sleep i woke up and got myself ready to go to bryant park to save a total of 19 seats for broadway in bryant park. Having a lack of sleep led for a really crazy unhinged hyper tamra until about 4 when i crashed. basically i got there wicked early and set up a bunch of seats and eventually chris and lon showed up and helped save them until slowly everyone else came. I had been eating rice krispies from the bag before anyone else showed up and the powderiness was getting all over me and by the time i finished chris was already there and i decided i had a photo op and dumped the remaining powdery crumbs all over me resulting in that picture! it was the beginning of my craziness and hyper activity and even though it was the longest i had waited this year for any BBP the time went by super quickly. There were many snorts of laughter on my part too! anywho eventually michelle even came which turned out to be a nice surprise! (way too many friends to tag in my labels for this post).the shows that performed were the marvelous wonderettes (i love that music and the performers were talented and all but it just reaffirmed that i have NO desire to see it), the lion king (i love the movie but i really dont think i care to see the musical even if it is disney and i love me some disney), burn the floor (i was surprised they actually at least have someone doing live singing and the dancing was pretty intense but i found it boring and after seeing sound check i couldnt bring myself to watch the performance again during the actual event), and next to normal (such a great show and i was very excited that kyle dean massey was performing and even more elated that jessica was there instead of alice and she got to sing i miss the mountains. i really love jessica as Di way more than alice and it was nice to be able to see her sing it in the park and now have some audio) Thankfully the morning was a little chilly and just really nice weather and it only rained the tiniest of bits during sound check.
anywho so michelle and i left during burn the floor and we headed up tot he disney store so she could get a few ideas of what she was going to buy next week and to trade some pins she has collected that she had doubles of. after we walked back over towards next to normal so i could drop off some brownies at the stage door, then michelle and i parted ways. i went to the marriot marquis atrium and met up with chris, carina, steph, jerri, vicki, and lon. we stayed there for ages talking and looking at jerri's pictures and i ended up crashing from my hyper activity and was basically a lazy poop.
Then we went off and tried helping some of us out with lottos. half went to avenue q and the other half of us went to hair. Krysta and tucker came and met too... well we lost and it was my first time seeing tucker since he left last friday. he was slightly nice to me but did try to start biting me when i would attempt to pet him. basically i learned i am still very upset with him and dont really like him despite my continual trying to like him since the sight of him made me angry and well yea. after we failed hair, and the others failed avenue q we all met up to help out at rock of ages. everyone luckily got tickets who wanted to see it there and we even were able to get a ticket for ronald's brother to see the show. (Ronald works at RoA and he used to wor at NWS so when i saw him i offered the help.) i think my favorite moment of the RoA lotto (besides seeing the old spelling bee lotto lady who still remembers me) was when a youngish girl (probably 13/14ish) came up to him and asked him if he worked there and when he said that he seres the drinks she was like oh good i am going to buy a drink from you and he looked at her and said are you going to show me id and she was all well no i um left it at home... i just about wanted to die of internal laughter.
anywho then i said my goodbyes and headed home and ate some dinner and rested for a bit (though i didnt sleep) before i made my way back out to go to TOL for karaoke. I met up with Joey and it started off pretty bad since the system was not cooperating but luckily they worked it out and it was one of the more fun karaoke nights. Shoshana even showed up which was another pleasant surprise. i really enjoy my karaoke times every week, something to always look forward to and Patrick is always a fabulous person to see :)
then i came home and even though it was wicked late i had to tend to a few things and then i finally got to go to bed!!!!!!!!!

Day 295/365 (June 9, 2009)
tuesday was an incredibly amazing, fun, and LONG day! i ended up sleeping for 30 minutes outside the booth theatre and then only 45 minutes at home. Mark and i rushed from 10:30 pm monday night until 10 am tuesday morning. it had tremendous rain, thunder that set off car alarms, frigid winds (that turned me into a superhero, and awesome new friends. i met this new person Joe and well he was so freaking awesome, and jake and tracey were also in the line, sasha swung by with pip at one point and i dont think i actually ever left the rush line except after they handed out the bracelets i took a tiny bathroom break! (jordan even stopped by for a bit) it really was lots of fun and we played a game of UNO and i kicked butt!it was all for me to see Kyle Dean's first night in next to normal and it was worth it! after we left i went home and baked cookies for him and stuff, had my little nap, showered after the crazy long night, then met mark at build-a-bear to help him make a bear for kyle dean. i also scouted out the finishing stuff for the abe bear from last year's AA Day scavenger hunt. then we headed to the amrriot and put the bear's clothes on and stuff, got some food, then met with michelle at the theatre. it turns out Alice Ripley was sick so her understudy was going on and a bazillion people got refunds for their tickets including some of the people who had camped out overnight with us and i was like wow that is crazy! and sasha got one of our extra tickets but got hers refunded so joe ended up sitting next to me for the show and that was fun.
Kyle Dean did such an incredible job and i know it sounds weird but i was so terribly proud of him. i have seen him grow as a performer over the last three years and this really was amazing, he finally is able to show the rest of the theatre community how freaking amazing he is on a nightly basis. best part? i actually like this show so it wont be painful to sit through and watch it many times! (though i did love xanadu by the end) he played Gabe so well and well i just cant say enough ... yea and all the people who freaked and got their tickets refunded? you missed an incredible show i thought Jessica was leaps better than Alice Ripley (yea i said it) her voice was so pure and her acting choices made me appreciate the character more... jessica phillips is amazing!
special thanks to tracey for helping unwrap all my reese's for the cookies and jake who was in line with us
