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 91/365 (October 16, 2014)

I went to work and then I went to the gym and then I came home and was lay on the couch for a bit. I planned on lottoing Kinky Boots but almost missed it because I didn't realize it was a 7 pm curtain until super close to pull time. I met a very nice girl and we were lotto buddies and I won! so then I went home, had dinner, and got cleaned up before heading out to the show.

The lotto seats really are terrible in the boxes! I missed a whole part of the stage for the first act, luckily I was able to move during intermission! When I got to my original seat the girl's sister was there and she gave me a note from her and she explained she gave the ticket to her sister since she was moving and hoped I didn't mind. It was just a really nice thing, and made my night a bit better! Jake was really very god as Charlie, though it took him until Everybody Say Yeah to let go of some of his nerves but overall he gave a solid performance and I would see it again. I do however wish Billy Porter would just leave already. His voice is so tired and busted and hurts to hard him struggle to hit the notes, yet the audience eats him up and I am like why? Saw Ellyn after for a brief moment and she gave me a in jest hard time about coming to see Jake as Charlie and not her as Lauren... oops! I did see her months ago though!
