Our high energy, five-person production of LOVES LABOURS LOST was quite different tonight... One of the actors, who plays Ferdinand, Armado, and Dumain... was violently, convulsively, explosively ill and couldn't do it. I had to go on for him, with absolutely no preparation. I lived the actor's nightmare tonight, short of being naked.

The costume didn't fit.
I didn't know the words.
I danced in numbers I'd only watched a few times, weeks ago.
I played several characters and made a lot of stuff up.
And...

The audience was with us the whole way.

Now, I need ice cream. And beer. And Red Fusion. I like Red Fusion, and maybe if I link it again Dr. Pepper will notice somehow and I'll get a free case or seven. Red Fusion.

It was kinda rainy, but that only helped get the crowd rooting for us. This is why we do it. It only could've felt better if I'd been singing it.

Not that I want to do it again, like that. Ever.
