The Last Show

Today was the last show. It was sad, but fun to destroy all the sets. The show was great everything was great. I took some peices of the set home with me. I didn't go to the cast party, which I think was a wise choice. But yeah, I'm sad I won't do it anymore, but all good things must come to an end. Speaking of good things, the concert last night was amazing. (thanks Laura) I had about the best spot I could get in a very crowded amusement park, they were amazing, and I didn't get alot of good pictures, but Joel at least had more energy than last time. I am really really tired now, so I thin I'll just post a bunch of pics. Later.

Sleep, Theatre, Concert

My mind can only process those three things right now. I got to catch up on some sleeping today and I did some laundry. Did NOT go to band camp because my thighs were blistered to the extreme. (sucks to be fat) Hopefully Mr.B checks his messages and doesn't kick me out. I went to the theatre tonight because I felt a little better than last night. Last night was aweful for me. Saturday I'm not going at all because ofcourse, I'm going to see my boys in concert. I need to. It's been too long. lol. Sunday I absolutely MUST go because its the last show and I'm actually going to miss it. Plus Shawn would be TICKED. Hehe. He's sort of my boss. So, I know I'm going to the band practice next Tuesday and hopefully I'm not kicked out and hopefully they didn't go really far in the drill. Whew! Technically speaking, I might be screwed. Anyway, I'm gonna go now. Thanks for picking me up from camp, TaSha! And thanks for taking me to see GC Laura! Byebye

Third Day of Band Camp

Today is Wednesday. Only 1 and a half more days of this crap. I woke up so sore this morning, so I was already hurting while we did traverse (side-ways marching) box formations for like 2 hours this morning. Then we played the same 2 measures from our music inside for like 3 hours then we marched some more so my arms and back NEVER got a chance to rest. I know, I'm complaining. And I know, I WANT to do this. I'm just in pain. :( Oh, but I HAVE CABLE NOW! And my concert is only 3 days away. That's good. I have to go to theatre after band camp Thursday and Friday though. I only hope I'll have the ENERGY to see GC. I really really want to. I just don't know if my body will allow me. Well, I'm off to rest. My muscles keep yelling at me. Tata!

First Day Of Band Camp

Today, it was hot. Today I am tired. It's nothing compared to what we are GOING to do, and it was nothing compared to last year. I think my director is going easy on the freshman this year. But, we have to cut a few people this year because the drill we have won't fit everyone in it. I may not make the cut. I hope I do. I didn't work this hard and come this far for nothing. And I am NOT paying 75 dollars just so I won't march. And I'm not wasting my time going through band camp and still going to the theatre even though I'm really tired. This week is our last couple shows. Well, if I do make it through this week without dying, I will be rewarded. I'm going to see Good Charlotte this Saturday at Blue Bayou. Thanks Laura!!! I love them, and it's only fair that if I'm out in the July heat for weeks, I should get to see my boys. And I really hope I can at least get a picture with Paul. Hehe. Well, I'm really tired and I don't know exactly how much sleep I'll get tonight so I better go now. Bye!

And then things go wrong...

Today I woke up feeling exhausted. Ofcourse, I still had a show. Before the show, everything was fine. Then my friend got fired from being a dresser, and the Whitehall and Marks set fell apart. We fixed it, and as soon as the show started, everyone then was faced with the fact that Ray (the star, Max) lost his voice. He was raspy and off, and....it was terrible. So we had to get him a mic. Then we had trouble with the mic. And right after the huge musical number in the second act, our main set, "Max's office" decided to fall apart. After that, we had to cut out Ray's music number because he had no voice, and that gave us HALF the time we usually have to set up for the next scenes. BUT! We got through it. We finished the show at least. And we have three days off, which is nice. I'm tired. I went home at around six today and we went to Walmart and I ate my first veggie burger. OFFICIALLY VEGETARIAN FOR 2 WEEKS!!! YAY ME! Oh, and we got good reviews, so yay us!

And she rested on the seventh day

Today we didn't have a show. (thank God) I'm just really tired. Tomorrow we have a show though. At night, great. I'm gonna get home late. And I'll be tired Thursday. I love working at the theatre, and you make alot of new friends and stuff, I'm just tired. And band camp is just around the corner. It makes me scared actually. I'm afraid I'm going to be so tired, I'll pass out or have a nervous breakdown or something. Oh well....

Anyway, I've been a vegetarian for officially a week and 2 days. I'm proud of myself. I had a huge rack of ribs in front of me July 4th and I didn't even have a bite. yay! I think I can pull it off for a year, by then I don't think I'll even WANT to eat meat anymore. So I feel powerful. I think I can do it. One thing I've noticed since I stopped eating meat though, I'm not so full and sick-feeling anymore. Maybe I was MEANT to do this. Well, I'm gonna split. BUY YOUR TICKETS FOR THE PRODUCERS AT THE BATON ROUGE LITTLE THEATRE. EVERY THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AT SEVEN THIRTY AT NIGHT UNTIL THE 27TH. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. adios.

Opening Night, It's Opening Night!

Tonight was our first show in front of people. Although the people in the audience knew there was probably going to be a mistake or two, we had a few very big ones. Our "Max" set fell apart from rolling over a PENCIL. And we had to stop the whole show because of it. Then we (the tech crew) were told that we suck from a.....nameless member of the cast. We're doing the best we can and it's not appreciated. A lot of people were yelling at me for no reason even though they don't have the authority, so.....yeah, that was fun. And we were two guys short so I had to fill in for both of them. I am so freaking tired and apparently I have to get up early tomorrow (before 12:00 p.m.) for my grandmother. Then I have to babysit, then I have to go BACK to the theatre and do it all again. Hopefully it will go smoother this time and I won't have to pimp slap somebody. Other than that I think I'm doing okay. I've just become a vegetarian, so......we'll see how that works out. Maybe I'll lose weight.....or maybe I'll chew off my own arm. Who knows? Tootles!
