Day 267/365 (April 10, 2015)

Morning began by rushing Hand To God... it was pretty chilly! The person behind me in line recognized me from when I got tickets to see The Last Ship with Ewa in December... always cray when that happens!

Then it was off to work briefly before I headed to "Conversations with Jonathan Groff" It was a 2 hour Q & A that was fascinating and I chatted with two lovely people before it started. There really is something about the tone of his voice that just makes you feel happy. Then I went to Trader Joes, and headed home.

I met up with some new friends for dinner and then we went to that evil cookie place before the show. Let me tell you this show is so funny. In concept I should not like it and be offended by it, but man was it good! Also the main actor is incredible. I do not know how he does what he does. Made some new friends during intermission (the ones from behind in the rush line) and then went to wait at the Stage Door. I ran into Kris Cusick which made me happy!

Then after SD times some of us went to a little place to hang out and chat more... then finally i went home to find that Karen and her mom got me a cookie from that evil cookie place... oops! Yum.

Day 171/365 (January 4, 2015)

I got basically 3 hours of sleep before getting up to rush Pippin closing. I got there at 5:40 am and I was 4th in line! It was so cold and I fell asleep. When I woke up i realized it had been raining on me for a while. I ended up freezing by the end, Jo Ann came to visit and I ran into some people I met previous times rushing (otter, jenna, and aaron) which was nice to have people to chat with. I somehow got very lucky and got the only font row rush seat they had! Then I went home to nap/freshen up and went back to see Pippin Closing. I ended up with that sparkly producer guy and he was in full on sparkle. The show was great lots of extra cheers and i took video of curtain call (with reckless abandon) because why not. I especially loved when Mike S. saw and played to the camera.  Charlotte held my face during the end when she was saying I was extraordinary and beautiful and gave it a little squeeze, they made speeches. I cried a little during the beginning and the end. It was especially sad seeing the actor playing Theo cry and Nicholas Jelmoni. Waited at SD as long as I could and took a couple pictures then I ran home, stuffed my face and ran to the subway with all my stiff and just barely made it on the train out to New Rochelle to pick up Dennis, Clare, and Penny. Carly and Adam were very sweet.

Penny was very happy to see me, then we went back to their house and settled in!

Day 165/365 (December 29, 2014)

Went to work pretty early to get it out of the way to spend time with Ewa. All she wanted to do was see The Last Ship because Sting is in it... I hated when I saw it... I had zero desire to see it but was torn because she came to NY and I didn't want to be like see it alone! I realized that because of the altered New Year's schedule Pippin had a matinee on a Monday so I was like if you see Pippin with me, I will see The Last Ship with you. They did't have any rush seats left but I lurked around in the hopes of Standing Room. While waiting i met a lovely family when their little girl pointed out the rainbow in the sky! Thankfully we ended up with SRO tickets so we got to see it... she enjoyed it thankfully and it was fun being in the back especially before Act Two started!

We then went to The Last Ship lotto and somehow managed to lose so we got lotto loser tickets, then got dinner. The show was terrible again, I even fell asleep during it but Sting was better than the guy he replaced so that was a win at least. Then we waited at the Stage Door (Ewa's idea) and she lost her mind when Sting came out it was pretty funny then she couldn't believe all I did was say Thank You to him... haha

Day 28/365 (August 14, 2014)

Met up with Jo Ann for our monthly dinner date. We went to a vegetarian restaurant called en Palate... supper yummy! It is always nice catching up with her... then I went home to watch Big Brother with the Roomies, and finally since I have seen Rocky 4 times and it is about to close I went to the stage door to get my playbill signed... i got 4/5 of the people I cared most about and some others so I would call it a win!

Andy Karl really is one of the most genuine and sincere people in existence.... he is such a pleasure. I also got to tell Kevin Del Aguila thanks for his hand in Altar Boyz :)
