Not a lot of time to post lately, and not much to say - starting rehearsal, waiting for word on recent auditions/callbacks, contemplating an upcoming holiday which I have no idea for a costume for...

COSTUME IDEAS! Leave comments about costume ideas, for me...

By the way, here's an interesting conversation I had yesterday.

Everyone is very concerned, around Christmas, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Easter, even Valentine's Day about making sure to capture/to not forget the "true meaning" of these holidays.

Not to let them be too commercialized and to enjoy their spirit and their joy.

But Halloween? No, dress your daughter up as a princess and give her some candy, don't let her stay out past dark, and for God's sake don't tell her the true meaning of Hallowe'en.

I guess they think the other holidays are okay... celebrating Jesus' birth three calendar months from the actual anniversary of it's happening (thank you, calendar revisions of the 16th century) in order to conincide with a pre-existing Roman festival (Saturnalia).

Celebrating a Roman fertility festival as an entirely different holiday without even bothering to change the name (Easter)...

When I was a kid, Hallowe'en WAS after dark. People DID get scared.

I miss that.

Anyway, I thought that confab was interesting... Later...

Wow, no news for days. Nothing's really going on.

That's so untrue. The things that are going on I can't talk about yet, as not to jinx them or they're just not set enough to put it "print" yet.

There will be news shortly.

FYI - First change: I will NOT be doing the Christmas Carol tour. Unfortunately, I had conflicting work offered that took me through a longer and more lucrative contract period than the tour would offer. I'll... more later.

I know, I know, I know - I need to update the top scroll on the website.

There are significant changes to the rest of the year's schedule that I'll need to include, but I won't reveal those yet. Take THAT!

The bad thing about (knock on wood) continually working is that when you have a night off so do most other shows; thus you can't get to see much. Some B'way shows have Monday nights, but thus far I've encountered none I want to see.

I don't think I know the full list of those with Monday shows. Please, leave a comment and fill me in with any info about that...

I wish there was something to report...

shows, shows, shows.

...saw "Underworld", do NOT bother with it.

Easily the single worst vampire movie in the history of movies with vampires. Including "Blacula."

Nothing else to report. Buying "Fargo" and "The Tick" today. My life right now is shows, the gym, and watching movies.

Hey, that's not a complaint.
