Pre-halloween celebration



Well the first bit of good news is that I FOUND A SUBLETTOR!!!! Thanks to the sweet, great, wonderful and fantabulous janna, who has not been nearly enough in my life for the last few years, i have a good guy to look after my place and allow for my trip to virginia to be profitable in the material sense as well as the spiritual. Thank you thank you thank you janna! I owe you a dinner and a half. Let's make a night of it.

Otherwise than that... life continues to flow on. The show closed yesterday, which is always cause for sadness as well as celebration: you grow attached to the people you've been working with (and there's nothing like a show to get to know people intimately in a short period of time. Sex doesn't even come close in this regard. Seriously. Well, ok, sex can achieve that kind of closeness, but it certainly isn't guaranteed to...) and the work is almost, but not quite, the sine qua non of your life (and that's sort of true no matter what show it is - which is a whole other box of wine...)

Then there's that person... not wanting to go on that rant here and now.

Because there are so many other great people. Much fun was had at the bar after friday night's show! In spite of the driving nor'easter it was a blast. Good luck at the music store on saturday - went in to pick up the new decemberists (excellent) and see if they had lady sovereign, only to find out that it won't be released until tuesday (halloween, that is!) But, they just happened to have an advance promo copy, and if i want it i can have it. ! True story, and it's those kinds of things that make my local hoboken music store SO MUCH BETTER than the mega chains and hipper-than-thou caverns of cool. So alright, lady sovereign is maybe not superdeep, and tastes a little like a flavor of the mtv month, but i think her grime is good, you know what i mean? And it was just a cool thing to happen. And as if that weren't enough jqln had a link to her 'love me or hate me' video up on her badass blog, which i looked at for the first time this weekend, so that added to the sychronicity of it all.

Ok, i'm putting in a couple shots from the show

And last but not least - one teeny tiny magic 8pod query:

How will things go with the sudden sublettor? 'Golden Hours' by Ida.

Yeah. I'll take it.

Yay for you!!!! I had a feeling things would go well last night.

And my recent thought - my favorite thing about your show is that you happened to play the main character's: father, lover, drug dealer, AND prank-calling younger self... all in one short night! if that ain't range, i don't know what is.

Yeah, i always sort of thought it would be fun if the father, drug dealer and lover could all be the same guy. More interesting? Especially if he wore the santa suit.
