I’ve found myself spending a lot more time downtown lately… Maybe it’s the gaping 2.5 hour window I have in the middle of every school day with nothing to do, maybe I’ve just needed some escape time from the rest of my busy life - who knows? All I know, is that it’s gotten bad. I’m in Java Java almost as much as Shawn Decker (who practically lives there), and I’m pretty sure the guys at Christian’s know my order at this point. It’s also a bit awkward when you’ve become so much a part of the downtown scene that others of a similar sexual orientation start cruising you. Let’s talk about feeling uncomfortable…

I’ll be spending even more time downtown this next month however (if that’s possible). Tonight I’m going to my first sit-in rehearsal for Mother Courage and Her Children over at Live Arts. I’m running sound for it, and it opens in a week - so I figured I should get a taste of what I’m signed myself up for. I’ll go out on a limb here and say you should all come see it when it opens next week - the script is amazing, I’ve heard the music is as well, and the renderings I’ve seen of the set design look pretty darn stunning.

Not only am I doing this month-long run of a show just days after Anything Goes wrapped up - but I’m also thinking about auditioning for The Complete History of America (Abridged) down at Play On Theatre. And of course I’ll be auditioning for the annual sketch comedy show Dessert Theatre 2008 at CHS next week [I'm trying to stock up on acting experiences before my 4-year-long theatre-free period known as film school].

I like killing myself with work, thank you very much.
