Aspen here I come

So tomorrow morning I will be on a plane to Aspen, Colorado to visit my grandma and grandpa. We think make a stop to Oklahoma City the last leg of my trip to see my sister in a horse show. I will hopefully have access to a computer regularly so I will post about my trip. Probably won't include pictures unless its from an Iphone or something (which I don't have). But, I will post photos on my Facebook page when I return on the 5th. My flight is at 8:55 am so I will be up at 6. Blah!!! Finger's crossed for me that it is safe travels. Frontier airlines will be making my journey possible. I downloaded to good tunes to my ghetto Ipod Mini. Some Ke$ha and a bit of Jay-Z. See ya on the flip side ya'll! I swear I better see some famous people on this trip and maybe now that I'm older I will actually have the courage to knock on Jack Nicholson's door....if he's there. Yes, blog world my grandparents live next to him!

Sunday July 18th

We had our 5 pm performance that day and we sold out again!! I had several friends in the audience. One of which was my awesome co-worker Annie! I'm always glad to hear when friends love the show and my performance.

There are two of our reviews. I'm memorable supposedly! Fuck Yeah I say!!!

Sold Out!

So our performance last night was sold out! That has got to be the most AMAZING feeling! I had had a super rough day. The rain was horrendous and I got super soaked waiting for the bus. I called up the roommate to give me a ride...she did...but with trepidation. I received a bunch of laughs during my scene. Overall, I think it went really well and I hope we sell out for our last three performances. Get your tickets!!

PS: I am wearing my hideous boot again, as my fractured foot is killing me. Let's see how many nice people there are on the metro and if they give of their seat. Probably not...

PBR...the beer of champions!!

Damn you Gypsy Tent Bar and your $3 PBR's!!! Its like that scene from Brokeback Mountain....I can't quit you! Sometimes I can't tell if PBR is better than Bud or Miller...dunno. But its cheap. Last night after seeing Cavers we hit up the tent to self-promote our show. This tent has live music as well as cheap ass food.

I love grilled cheese and beer! We got to discussing grilled cheese...as I had ordered one...and how awesome it would be if we could create a grilled cheese truck that went around DC. I would be there everyday btw! We decided that this truck would allow for a mass array of cheeses: Gouda, Gruyere, Feta, Goat Cheese, etc. We would have different kind of soups, such as tomato, potato, split pea...a vegan/vegetarian option. We then got into a heated discussion about meats. I said that we should have bacon and prosciutto as those go well with cheese but everyone shot down my idea...although bacon may be allowed.




I would like to say that all of this discussion came out of PBR's. Damn, now I want a grilled cheese...lol. I also seemed to end up with 3 mini sponge footballs with Guinness written on them. HA. All because some actor wanted the box and the club promoter at LUX said she could have it as long as she got rid of the footballs.





I also didn't leave the tent until 11:45 which caused me to miss the metro back home. I got a ride to Ballston and then paid $29 fucking buck-a-roos for a cab to my condo....FML. I told my mom to put in $30 so I wouldn't be poor!

First Show at Fringe

So we finished our 1 pm show for the Fringe. I must say that it was a success!! We had almost a sold out audience....although the majority were the gay friends of Kat. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Her friends were incredibly responsive. It wasn't as hot either. Patrick, our venue manager, turned on both AC units and there was a fan!! Stage left was probably the coolest area of RedRum. I thought I was going to be late to the show as the blue line on the metro was having scheduled track maintenance as well as there was a problem. As I was coming up the stair to the platform my train was leaving and it was another 2o before one came. Thankfully, someone was looking over me and a yellow line train was a minute away from my platform at King St for me to transfer. It was raining but I managed. My make-up was a little worse for the wear but it's Fringe.

After the show people were thrilled! Some guy came up to me and was like I saw that you went to Rollins...did you know so and so. I was like nope...lol. He said my performance was great and he wished that there were more of me in the show. I told him to talk to the playwright about that! Overall, it was a great run and I look forward to our performance at 10 pm on Tuesday!! Now SLEEP!!!

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT! YOU'RE A HOMO CB!"

Redrum, Redrum!!

So yesterday we were able to be in our space for our Fringe show. It has been incredibly hot in DC these past several days. I believe it was 102 yesterday in the District and it felt like 105-108 outside with humidity. We walk into our space at Fort Fringe, which is Redrum...and holy fucking shit, that heat was so oppressive I nearly keeled over. I was wearing a dress and I had to change into ANOTHER dress with no bra just so I could cool down. I seriously considered taking off my undies too. Just FYI I left them on! We were doing our cue to cue for Dog Sees God and by the end of it we were all so pissy we almost bit each other's heads off.

Supposedly there will be air by the time we perform on Saturday. I'm not holding out a lot of hope here. Now is when I wish I was doing a naked fringe show. That's the way to beat the heat! Take your clothes off!!! And to add insult to injury we didn't even get to finish our cue to cue because we got kicked out of the space at 7. We thought we were in there until 7:30. We all sort of left feeling dejected and wondering if this all was going to come together. I feel like we are a strong enough cast to pull some shit out of our asses if need be. Anyway, I feel like no one follows my blog. But if you do, and live in the DC area and want to see a show...come check out Dog Sees God!
