New York City.
Our last day of rehearsal, and starting Jan. 17, we are officially "on tour".

Our final dress rehearsal today was 'invited'; so several friends and significant were in attendance, which was cool. Tim and Pat have astonishly goodlooking girlfriends; Greg's boyfriend also very cute. The show went well, although there were mumblings of 'nerves' from amongst the cast. (Briana always breaks everyone up when she throws that owl across the stage... why IS that so funny?)

During set up, Laura & Paul played their "mix tape", a compelation CD inspired by the lyrics of the song "Mix Tape" from AVENUE Q. And, oh my... what a GOD AWFUL MIX TAPE! What the hell is WRONG with that Princeton character, anyways? I mean, Beatles tunes aside... "A Whole New World"? "My Heart Will Go On"?? The theme from FRIENDS, for the love of all that's HOLY?!!

So, a moratorium on how often the Mix Tape can be played: once a month, at most. Really. Wouldn't be suprised if the tape were someday found to cause sterility; must use with caution.

We loaded up the van after saying thanks/goodbye to herr director Jeremy; and parted ways for the day. Call on Tuesday is for 6:00 AM up in Harlem. OUCH. For those of us in Brooklyn/Queens/Jersey... OWWWWCH FUCKING OUCH. Gonna hurt. BUT, sooner or later we'll all get used to the early starts, and be able to fall asleep at 8:30 PM, standing up, or while taking a shower. Can't wait.

I've put all of our current cities on my calendar, so if you're a fan of this blog, you can follow us as we zig-zag the Home of the Brave by clicking on the "tour schedule" link, on your right. :)

That's it for today.
