To Pass the Time

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I’m really excited about the special guest judges coming up on the next installment of the mascot contest. We’re 90% ready, so expect it soon. I’m still waiting to get the results from one judge and finishing up one last photo shoot. In the meantime, here’s a fun (language NSFW) video starring triple-threat and Buffy [...]

Back to Benedetta

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Wow. There are no words to describe the pleasant blast from the past I got last night. My buddy from college, Chadaeos, uploaded a bunch of photos from our theatre department including 6 shots I never thought I’d see again. These photos come from Benedetta, the original full length play I wrote, directed and produced [...]

A Vagina Virgin

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Somehow, I’ve managed to avoid seeing Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues thus far in life. But when Barry called the other night and asked if I wanted to go to a preview night for Falcon Theater’s new production, I really couldn’t think of a good reason to say no. So, I trekked across the bridge [...]

Tony 2009 Award Show

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Not having seen much of anything nominated this year (except [Title of Show]), this year’s Tony Awards mostly helped me get excited about shows I’ll be too poor to see when I move to New York in 10 weeks. Still, I think it was one of the best Tony Awards broadcasts in years. From the [...]

Welcome to Tony Season

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was geeking out over the 2008 Tony Awards. And now it’s time to start getting ready for the 2009 awards. Announced today: Neil Patrick Harris will host the ceremony on June 7. Without getting into a huge prediction/analysis post yet, based on the available soundtracks and [...]

Frankie sees you!

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Puppies are a lot of work. Frankie (a.k.a. “Doctor Frankie Stein” as I call her) never seems to run out of energy. Because our respective schedules leave the house empty for a few hours on days I work, she gets put in the pantry, the only puppy-proof spot in the house, even on days when [...]

Updates

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I can’t tell you how much I adored Natasha Richardson’s performances in the 1998 revival of Cabaret (or, her performance on the CD, anyway, since I never saw it live). I’m a fan of Liza with a Z as much as any theatre queer, but I doubt I’d have really paid this musical much attention [...]

Rent still gets to me

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

I just finished watching Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway, the DVD recording of the final performance of the show at the Nederlander Theatre. I was hesitant to watch it as so many filmed stage versions have been less-than-spectacular, but I liked it. In fact, I prefer it to the movie version. While Anthony Rapp, Edina [...]

Flashback 1996: A Funny Thing…

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Okay, just to get it out of the way, I received my first law school decision letter yesterday. I was rejected from a school that wasn’t my first choice, but should have been a pretty solid safety school. Looking back over the application (it was the first I sent in), I see several rather silly [...]

Clutter, Clutter, Whose Got My Clutter

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Did you know that used nose putty in a ziplock bag doesn’t last 10 years? Yeah, I probably knew that too. With a long day off and nothing much to do, I got started on some very early spring cleaning. Specifically, I was opening up the bags and boxes that have remained unopened through the [...]
