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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
